Protective services
Executive Protection
Good protection is mostly preparation. Our agents plan the day before it happens, so the principal moves safely, arrives on time and rarely notices the work behind it.
Urban Shield / ServiceExecutive ProtectionWhat it is
Executive Protection places trained, licensed agents with a principal to keep them safe and on schedule. Each detail is built on advance work: routes, venues, medical facilities and contingencies are checked before arrival. Coverage can be high-profile, low-profile or part of a wider program that includes the residence and family.
Executives, public figures and their families face risks that follow their visibility: fixated individuals, protest activity, opportunistic crime and simple accidents far from help. An executive protection detail manages those risks while keeping the principal productive.
We size every detail to the person. Some clients need a single agent who also drives. Others need a team with advance agents, a secure vehicle and coordination with a residence and an office. We agree the profile with you first, from a visible deterrent to coverage that reads as part of your staff.

How an engagement runs
Confidential consultation
A private conversation about who and what needs protecting, what has already happened, and what a good outcome looks like to you.
Assessment
We study the people, places, routines and exposure involved, on site and through open sources, before recommending anything.
Program design
You receive a written plan: coverage, staffing, procedures, reporting and cost, scoped to the risk that actually exists.
Deployment
Vetted, licensed personnel are briefed on your household or organization and begin coverage with a named point of contact.
Review and adjust
Risk changes. We review the program on a set schedule and after any incident, then scale it up or down to match.
