Executive Protection

Corporate executives, dignitaries, celebrities, high-profile individuals and their families are increasingly at risk of kidnapping, criminal assault and other threats. ABS Executive Protective  Agents are trained and experienced to minimize these risks while maintaining a daily routine; Discretion is key.

Called from the ranks of the military, law enforcement and private sector, ABS Agents are held to the Highest Standards. They posses a wide range of mental and physical skills developed through extensive training and real-world applications. By emphasizing preparation over brute force, our agents implement proven US Secret Service and corporate protection best practices to identify threats and reduce risk.

The key to minimizing risk is through Advance Work by visiting all points of a client’s itinerary prior to his/her arrival; our Agents assess threats and gather protective intelligence, and then write a security plan that includes primary and secondary routes, nearest trauma hospitals, safe rooms, restrooms, and front and back entrances. Agents meet in advance with key personnel at each location and always have back-up plans ready to avert a possible threat. ABS maintains a library of continuously updated advance information for each client and each frequent location they visit.

Adding to the Peace of Mind of our clients, our agents are certified in Emergency First Aid, CPR/AED and always travel with trauma kits and oxygen.

ABS  Agents must complete a rigorous training, education and certification process. These agents perform the necessary threat assessments, advance work and planning, logistics, emergency medical response, communications and surveillance required in improving the safety and security of our clients, domestically and around the world.
