Ep 23 – PROTECT THE PROTECTOR – Steven Summerville

You’re working a Protection Detail. Your job is to keep someone safe, and alive.

Unprovoked, you are in the midst of an attack, so you do what anyone who prepares to protect would do – you ACT. You intercede. You get the job done. But what would you do if you faced a ‘battle beyond the battle’? What if you were criminally charged for your actions?

This reality is something we are very aware of, and keen to prepare for.

But how do you prepare for such a thing?

Introducing the ‘Protect the Protector’ Program. A groundbreaking, unique and exclusive training experience that puts the best protectors in the game, in the hot seat.

We chose 8 of our executive protection agents and put them through the experience of being charged for their actions, sitting through a court Discovery which by all accounts tested their actions and their patience. But why?

To prepare them and provide them with the tools to work wisely, safely and be able to articulate their actions. The value of this cannot be understated.

In today’s podcast, we discuss the beta-testing of this program with one of it’s creators – Steve Summerville (Expert Witness, Advisor, Trainer of over 15,000 Police and Expert Witness when protection measures are questioned in court).

Steve shares how there is such a large need for such training, the demand we are experiencing from other security companies and protection agents to undergo this testing and training firsthand, and how to work wisely so the person you aren’t protecting – is yourself.

Ladies and gentlemen – Mr. Steve Summerville.
