Private Bodyguard London, What Do They Actually Do?

First and foremost, the role of a private bodyguard, London based or internationally, is to provide security and safety to you as their Principal. Their role is to work around you throughout your day so they can manage your safety and security, whilst you go about your day as normally as you can, as if they wasn’t there. The standard of bodyguard that you need is directly related to the threat against you. The higher the threat, the greater the standard of bodyguard should be. Their primary objective is to keep you safe. However, the better the bodyguard, the more additional support services that they can provide you also.

Logistics Coordination

Logistics coordination and the role of the bodyguard go hand in hand. You’re at one of your most vulnerable times to a threat when you are coming out of, or going into a venue, and generally you’ll be getting in to or out of transport to do this. So the private bodyguard will conduct meticulous planning so that this process between venue and transportation goes as smooth as possible. Therefore when you hire a private bodyguard, London based or UK wide, they will take the details of your transportation provider and organise everything for you in the background so that you don’t have to do anything. This includes internationally also where you might be using airports, private charters, or in country international transport providers. The bodyguard will coordinate all of this on your behalf.

Working With Your Support Team  

Experienced bodyguards can slot seamlessly into your support team, to work closely with that team to ensure that the all round service afforded to you is always of the highest quality. They’ll work closely with your PA to ensure that they can facilitate your diary in the safest way possible, and ensure that you’re always on time to whatever diarised event you have planned. In addition, part of the role of the private bodyguard, London based or internationally, is to educate your support team so that they start to consider your safety and security while supporting to facilitate your life. Making the groundskeeper aware of what to look out for if your permitter fence may have been breached, or working with your maintenance person to make sure that your home is as secure as possible for example.

Admin Support

You might not always be travelling with your PA, so the bodyguard can provide you with admin support. The role of the private bodyguard, London based or internationally, can involve a lot of waiting around while you go about your day. So there’s no reason that they can’t provide some admin support as long as you are in what can be determined as a safe location. So when the bodyguard is travelling with you in your transportation, you might ask them to update your PA on a diary change, book a restaurant for the evening, or research a local shop that you can buy a present from. Then once you’re in your secure location, your office for example, they can focus on the admin support that you’ve discussed with them while they wait for you.

Security Advice and Guidance

Your bodyguard will be a specialist in personal protection. But they’ll also be well versed in other disciplines of security. So if you have any security related questions or queries in general, they’re the ones to talk to. Such as your safety while at your residence. Your safety while travelling abroad or on holiday. Or even things such as how does your child stay safe now they are going to university or they have started dating.

The role of the private bodyguard, London based or internationally, is wide ranging and varied. Their primary role first and foremost is always to protect you. But logistics coordination goes hand in hand with the bodyguard role. They will slot in seamlessly with your support team to further facilitate your life. Plus you’ll more than likely be spending extended periods of time with your bodyguard. So there’s no reason why they can’t help you further and provide some admin support. In addition, as you’ll spend a lot of time with your bodyguard, take the time to discuss your security and safety in general. So they can advise what other security measures you might want to take to protect you and your family.
