Special Operations Protection Specialist, S.O.P.S

Founded in 1980, Executive Security International (ESI) is the oldest training academy in the world that offers more than 2,000 hours of training in executive and personal protection, protective and investigative intelligence. The field of protection is a rapidly changing and growing profession. World events in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia and yet uncontested regions of the globe have altered the demand and the training requirements of agents willing and able to work in high risk protection details.

ESI offers a Special Operations Protection Course that parallels our world renowned Executive Protection Program designed for corporate and personal protection in low threat environments. The Special Ops course can be taken as an addition to Executive Protection or as a separate Certificate or Credential Program.

While the program is not certified by the State Department, the course abides by all the requirements of State Department's Personal Security Detail (PSD) Protocols, and goes beyond these minimum standards to meet the changing tactics of Jihadis who attack convoys, protection details and their principals daily. Defensive procedures must adapt to the ever-changing tactics of a determined and intelligent enemy. ESI's Special Operations Protection Course is taught by a staff that is competent and profoundly rooted in the operational side of high threat arenas. This staff base their experience directly on their personal experience in Iraq, Afghanistan and Boxnia.

Most ESI instructors (Staff R�sum�s) have extensive experience in Iraq and Afghanistan where they were the targets of insurgent tactics and strategy in the streets of Baghdad, Fallujah, Mosul, and Kabul. They have adapted proactive tactics that lower the security detail's profile, insuring a client's likelihood of arriving safely at their assigned destination. Much of what is taught at ESI is original to its experienced staff and is based on emulation of the renowned protective protocols of South African protection teams. Agents who expect to maintain a professional qualification must be prepared to adapt to the changing threat environment. Protection is one of the most dynamic professions in the security industry, and the skill set of a professional must flex according to the changes in the industry and the growing worldwide demand for security.
