Find the right Bodyguard Agency

Selecting the correct Bodyguard Agency can be a critical decision for a potential customer as well as for the person that seeks employment as a Bodyguard.

In this article we will discus tips for a potential client in search for the right Bodyguard Agency.

As a client your main concerns should be the following:

§          The professionalism of the agency and its agents

§          The reliability & integrity of the agency 

§          Its service level & responsiveness

§          Its insurance coverage 

§          The variety of services provided by the bodyguard agency

§          Neatness & functionality of attire and gear

The question remains: how should a client go about verifying the above mentioned details?

Our suggestions:

§          Best practice would probably be to have a trusted security professional (i.e.: the companies CSO) do the enquiries for you.

§          Try to check with veteran organizations of governmental agencies, as they might be able to point out "real deal" agencies (often run by such veterans).

§          Call the company and check how they respond, what is your impression of the person that answers your call? What questions you are asked as a client?

§          Even better, pay the agency a visit in order to get a first hand impression of how and who is running it.

§          Try to contact some of the agency's customers (not necessary the first ones on the bodyguard agency reference list )

§          Ask for documents regarding their insurance coverage.

§          Ask about their selection & training procedures and ask to speak with agents, through whom you'll be able to verify, that they have actually passed selection and received that training.

§          Check and compare their prices with other agencies and what part of your payment goes to the guard.
