Within modern “executive protection,” there are a lot of different varieties of clients, various genres of service fields, and all kinds of agent personalities and backgrounds, etc. But one thing that we all enjoy across the spectrum is gear. In this webinar, we will discuss various types of on-the-job equipment, ranging from go-bags and med kits to attire and holsters. This webinar is free.
This article is aimed to shed some light (pun intended) on my favorite set of options for an EDC flashlight. Let me say this – I buy a lot of gear. I do this in constant search for the next best thing and I like to publish these reviews to save you that expense and T&E time.
Communication is always a critical component of any human service. Never-the-less, in providing protective services where we are in close proximity to our clients for lengthy periods of time, it is imperative to understand what is appropriate to say, and equally as important to know when to say it.
Recently, I had the opportunity to take a Glock Armorer’s Course. BLUF – this courses exceeded expectation and made me appreciate the Glock brand even more. After the course, I ordered some parts and tools and I wanted to share what I put together.
At some point in your career, you may be contacted by reporters as a protection agent or as an investigator for information relating to a topic in which you may not want to discuss, or you may be ethically opposed to commenting, or perhaps you are not legally allowed to discuss due to an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement).

I heard a joke recently: imagine someone from 100 years ago time travels to today and asks what people do with handheld devices that give them instant access to almost every bit of data in the world and instant connectivity to anyone globally…and the answer would be ‘we watch cat videos and argue with strangers on social media’…
As funny as that is, what I find not funny is how common it is for people to be unaware of how to use the tools they have. These essential skills apply to iPhone users, but I am sure there are similar tools available to the Junior Varsity team….I mean Android users. 👍🏻

Once we put together everything we want to carry, space and weight come into play – space on our belts, in our pockets, and in our bags is limited and the total weight of all of our kit is a limitation on us. How can we solve the problem?
