When individuals become complacent, they tend to overlook potential dangers, fail to recognize warning signs, or neglect fundamental safety measures making them particularly useless in the face of everyday dangers that require prompt action and quick decision-making.

Complacency leads to a lack of preparation for potential risks or emergencies. When people become overly confident or assume that nothing bad will happen, they neglect to take necessary precautions or plan for contingencies.

It is these people who become less proactive in identifying and addressing potential risks or taking preventive actions, leaving them ill-prepared to handle emergencies when they do occur.

It hampers our ability to recognize and respond effectively to risks and emergencies and it is that which befalls our industry today.

As a frontline security operative, you have a duty of care to maintain a level of awareness, stay informed, and actively engage in preventive measures to mitigate potential dangers.

Why Close Protection Can’t Be Mastered in Less Than Three Weeks or Through Books Alone

Close protection—often referred to as bodyguarding—is a highly nuanced discipline that demands more than theoretical knowledge or a crash-course approach. While books and online courses can provide a foundation in terminology, legal frameworks, and general concepts, they simply cannot replicate the real-world experience, muscle memory, and decision-making skills required to perform effectively in the field.

1. Skills Take Time to Develop

The core skills of a competent close protection operative—threat assessment, situational awareness, route planning, communications, defensive driving, team coordination, and emergency response—take time and repeated exposure to develop. These are not skills you can just "read about" and apply under pressure. They must be drilled, stress-tested, and fine-tuned over time.

2. Real-World Context and Judgment

Much of what makes someone good at close protection is not written down in any manual. It’s the ability to read subtle behavioral cues, manage tense interpersonal dynamics, adapt to changing environments, and make split-second decisions—often without a clear right answer. These skills require mentorship, observation, and on-the-ground experience—not just classroom learning.

3. Team Dynamics and Communication

Close protection is rarely a solo endeavor. It demands seamless communication and coordination with others under pressure. This is not something you can simulate adequately through remote learning. Building trust and operational rhythm with a team takes time, shared experiences, and live training scenarios.

4. Physical and Psychological Conditioning

The physical demands of the role, along with the psychological pressure of protecting another person, are not easily understood until experienced. You must train your body and mind to remain alert, responsive, and composed under stress—again, something that reading or watching videos cannot replicate.

Conclusion

While introductory material and theory have their place, compressing a close protection training program into less than three weeks, or relying entirely on books and online content, significantly undermines the complexity and seriousness of the profession. Competence in this field comes from time, repetition, and live experience—not shortcuts.

National Heimlich Maneuver Day is on June 1 and we are geared up to honor an important method that can help save someone from choking. The Heimlich maneuver is essentially an abdominal thrust where you place your fist slightly above the navel of a person who is choking. Then, with your other hand, you grasp your fist and shove it inward and upward to expel the object on which the person is choking.
