Executive Security experts train others in imparts training, such as the security cover agents and they are planners who typically conduct close protection courses. Close protection does not mean deploying suave and physically strong bodyguards to provide closed protection to the clients. Rather the approach has to transcend much beyond physically operating and giving cover to the clients. Every close protection security agency has to have some renowned security expert on its panel who can offer his services in form of training the personnel, offering security solutions and planning the operations. These security professionals have a wealth of experience in security related fields. A close protection course is designed for the security cover agents, and the course should cover following issues:
- Physical exercises: A close protection course is not expected to make a plump and sluggish person to a fine cover agent overnight. Short modules can only provide some handy tips to enable prospective agents to understand and learn the requirements of being in perfect physical shape. A short module on physical exercise like going for trekking or some strenuous activity makes the trainees understand the importance of physical exercises.
- Being mentally tough: A cover agent is expected to be tough when facing crunch situations, though some of us are born mentally tough but mind can also be trained to certain extent to respond to tough situations with alacrity.
- Becoming observant: Security cover agents are expected to have keen observation power, they should not be oblivious of what is happening around them rather even after long hours they should remain focused on their tasks.
- Being presentable and communicative: Security cover agents have to be presentable as they are expected to liaison and coordinate with government and security agencies for giving smooth access to their clients and overall make things simpler for them
