HOW TO QUANTIFY THE EXPENSE OF A CLOSE PROTECTION OFFICER OR SECURITY DRIVER?

How do companies or High-Networth individuals' budget and pay for executive protection (EP), simply put, executive protection should pay for itself.?

This is done by maximising the return on investment (ROI), as follows:-?

• Executive protection is no longer a "bouncer/bodyguard" type of job, the new modern-day Close Protection Officer (CPO) is a person who aids in the principles time management and meticulous planning
• By just aiding in time-management, the executives can get to more meetings and do more during their workday?
• The more productive an executive is, the better the business will do and as such, make more money for the company and the shareholders
• The negative cost on the share price if something happened to the CEO or Senior Management could be detrimental to the business
• The role of the?Arcangel?Protection Services?CPO or team is to keep the executives safe and secure, but aid in keeping them as productive as possible
• Having Executive Protection gives your c-suite executives a competitive advantage over those that do not have; this is because the executives who have a Security Driver (SD) and/or a CPO , are more productive, and more relaxed than their counterparts that do not have a CPO or SD.

The?Arcangel Protection Services?CPO's and SD's learn the best routes to travel, to maximize time and safety, which includes:-

• Learning the traffic patterns?
• Analysis of the areas they are entering or driving through
• Advance reconnaissance??

While the investment in CPO's or SD's may seem like a grudge purchase, the safety and ROI over your competitors is greater than the associated costs. Should something happen to a senior member of staff this could cause major damage to the business and shareholders.?

Some reasons why an executive in S.A. needs a CPO and or SD?

1. HIGH CRIME RATE?- 3rd highest crime rate of any other country in the world???To put this in perspective, S.A. is number 3 of 249 countries. S.A. are in good company in the top 10, which includes Syria and Afghanistan
2. ?HI-JACKINGS?- Hi-Jackings are on the increase; currently there are on average at least 84 Hi-Jackings per day.?
3. VIOLENCE?- One of the most VIOLENT countries in the world
4. RAPE?- Highest chance of being RAPED than ANY OTHER country in the world
5. UNREST??
6. CASH IN TRANSIT (CIT)?- Brazen CIT robberies are on the increase, especially during "silly" season
7. KIDNAPPINGS?- Kidnappings for ransom are on the increase in S.A, run by local and international syndicates
8. UNEMPLOYMENT/ POVERTY?- over 30% unemployment rate
9. VIOLENT CRIME?- Rolex gang
10. HIGH ACCIDENT?- Very high accident rate per capita

Should something happen to the CEO or senior executives of a company, this could directly impact the growth and sustainability of the business.?Company executives are often under an immense amount of pressure and stress to perform; CPO's and SD's therefore aid in stress relief by helping to keep executives productive, relaxed, safe and secure.???
