While professional bodyguards are trained in hand to hand combat and tactical shooting, one core skill that is frequently overlooked is tactical driving. While the chances of getting into a physical fight while escorting a client in public are very real, they are exceedingly rare. On the other hand, a bodyguard will commonly drive a client every day of the week to and from multiple locations.
You can take significant measures to secure your client’s homebase environment (personal home or office), but risk variables go through the roof as soon as you leave that sphere of control and get into a vehicle.
