The Protection of Public Officials: A Democratic Imperative
The Protection of Public Officials: A Democratic Imperative
A look at the threats to our public officials and the effect on our democratic system of government.
Good government and democracy can't function in a security vacuum. That was made clear when members of Congress admitted many of their peers had refused to support, vote for, or against various legislation due to threats to themselves and their families.
For those of us in the private sector who have provided executive protection services to public officials and candidates for office, we have seen our clients cancel public events, reduce the frequency, or even stop meeting with unscreened constituents.
So why is there any debate on providing funds for local law enforcement to receive training and other resources to support the security needs of state and local public officials?
We look at the threats, some of the current recommendations to mitigate those threats, and our history and efforts to support law enforcement.

Executive Protection Training after July 13th, 2024. Lessons Learned.
After the shooting of Donald Trump executive protection training course managers should have started a review of their programs and looked at some of the lessons learned from this event.
ISA has completed that review of its own program and made a few changes.

Certified executive protection schools? Can anyone vouch for any of these Schools?
Just came across this post from 10 months back. It asks about "Certified EP Schools" which has been a bit of a sore spot for us.
There are so many EP schools in a google search that it is difficult to see the the differences between then. So we wrote a blog post on the topic some time ago and we will share the link here. https://www.eptraining.us/why-is-accreditation-important-facts-vs-opinion/
Yes, there are certified EP schools. But not all "certifications" are the same. Please feel free to reach out with any questions on this topic of Certified EP schools.

ISA Executive & Close Protection Division
The Independent Security Advisors executive and close protection training division was founded in 2011. Since then we have trained over 600 members of law enforcement and the military, as well as some 300 private sector investigators and security specialists.
Our graduates currently serve on executive protection assignments for over a dozen federal and state agencies and departments and many have gone on to successfully enter the executive protection industry.
This community will be used to share information about our programs, links to our blogs on various industry topics and to share job postings and opportunities with our alumni.
