Modern Challenges for Executive Protection
When many people think about executive protection details, they picture large, imposing men wearing dark suits, sunglasses, a concealed weapon or two, and a communication earpiece. It wasn’t too long ago that this stereotype often matched with reality. But today, this bodyguard-type image of executive protection has evolved dramatically, as Pinkerton’s Kevin Cox, Managing Director, East Region & Canada, and a Director, can attest. Today’s executive protection professionals require a working knowledge of technology tools, an understanding of international cultures, politics and current events, and increased situational awareness skills in a dynamic world presenting constant threat.

Why Executives Need Protection
A disgruntled former employee is stalking the parking lot. The CEO always parks in the same spot and his name might even be on a plaque. The employee was let go last week, and has had time to obsess and decide that a confrontation is in order. Their intent may be limited to a verbal assault, or it could be to create an embarrassing videotaped situation for the executive. The next level of confrontation could be anywhere from physical harm, or proceed in severity on up to a kidnapping.

Why and How Executives Are Kidnapped?
A comprehensive study by the Mexican National Institute of Statistics and Geography reported that in 2012, there were 105, 682 kidnapping cases in Mexico. In the major cities of that country, there are on average about six kidnapping per day, per city. It’s been my experience that in high-risk countries like Mexico, the biggest kidnapping targets are foreign executives traveling abroad on business. Just why, and how, they are targeted is fairly easy to determine but, preventing the abductions, or reducing the damage, can be achieved with some preparation.
