Protective Operations Course (5 Days)

Duration: 5 Days

Course Description

This five-day Personal Security & Protective Operations course is designed for law
enforcement personnel tasked with dignitary protection, executive security, witness
protection, special event security, and protective support roles.

The course focuses on advance work, protective planning, escort and evacuation
techniques, site security, vehicle operations, medical integration, and coordinated
response in both high-visibility and low-visibility environments. Instruction reflects tasks
officers may reasonably be assigned or asked to support, including protective details, QRF augmentation, and high-risk event security.

Training emphasizes professionalism, restraint, coordination, and decision-making,
preparing students to operate effectively in complex, public-facing environments
consistent with modern law enforcement standards.
