Designing Security Formations for Escorting Senior Figures

Course Overview

The value of preparation for protective escort formations is only visible on the day it is needed. Security arrangements around this strand of corporate security practice are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a security procedure for the corporate security practice capability as they go. The programme is built to be used, and every section of protective escort formations it covers ends in something applicable. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with this area of corporate security practice. The difficulty is not agreeing that this aspect of corporate security practice matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Practitioner evidence points the same way: protective escort formations improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Participants gain a realistic view of what the corporate security practice discipline costs and what it returns. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this area of corporate security practice that would make a visible difference.
