What does a security escort do?
A security escort is important for asset protection. Security escorts are used in several types of situations and also operate various forms of transportation.
Planning/Scheduling
Escort operations will avoid regular patterns to avoid areas because of a planned attack.
If necessary, personnel will communicate with law enforcement for routes of travel so they can assist with route protection.
Components to address:
- Background on owner or client
- Risk associated with the operation
- Modes of transport (i.e. car, truck, motorbike, railway, air, and sea)
- Point where escorts will relinquish responsibility
- Handover responsibility (who will take over protection if necessary)
Security Organization
Security personnel need all the appropriate licenses such as vehicles, weapons, and special tasks.
The security organization will have security policies in place so there is a clear understanding of the process.
Armed / Unarmed
Security personnel will evaluate the need for additional protection. For instance, if a threat has weapons and is likely to use them.
Our teams of unarmed and armed security specialists as well security consultant are comprised primarily of former military and law enforcement personnel with decades of experience in protection.
Contingency and Response
Every operation must have both response and contingency plans. A security escort uses these tools for dealing with threats.
A response plan evaluates actions and events in order to assess for threats. A security escort must assess threats in real-time for a proper action response. In conclusion, appropriate response to threats will reduce risk.
A contingency plan has alternative operations for emergency situations. For instance, security personnel will call local law enforcement for support if they are attacked violently.
Access Control Procedures
Each security escort will have a numbered ID badge so each person can be identified easily.
The facility that stores property needs access control so the number of people who access it are limited.
Escort by ground
The security escorts will use a detailed route plan which details travel modes, types, refueling, and rest stops.
The routes will travel by primary highways with secondary roads so risks be can be identified quickly.
Personnel will move to strategic locations during any stops along the route. As a result, risk of attack during stops will be mitigated.
Escorts by Air
The security escorts will use a detailed route plan. There are however, some differences. Threats will easily identify locations. Flight personnel will be considered third parties.
The detailed route plan will have a timeline and locations. As a result, a clear overview of the travel will be easy to analyze.
Logistics personnel will make necessary arrival arrangements if air travel is international or domestic.
International air involves several countries so the level of security must be higher.
