Avid security goes to great lengths to select a qualified team of protection specialist who have had training in the police, military or a private executive protection training academy and the training continues under our strict standards to ensure that our Executive Protection agents are more then just bodyguards. Not every person who has been trained in Executive Protection is prepared to handle a protection assignment and Avid’s strict background screening standards weed out the weak and select only the best.
Some of the areas of training are:
- Hand-to-Hand Combat
- Firearms
- Security “Defensive” Driving
- Emergency Medical CPR
- First Aid
- Preventive Thinking
- Recognizing & Reasoning
- Close protection Procedures
- Advance Planning
All of our Protection agents continue with in-service courses and fitness requirements to ensure they maintain skills and reaction time. Each agent is selected for an assessment based on their skills and the needs of the client.
