Maricopa Cop Martice Berry discusses tactics for successful protection

June 14, 2010 - PRLog -- EP professionals should have exposure to various aspects of vehicle dynamics. It is important to train in protective and evasive driving skills such as learning how a vehicle communicates, proper driving form and where to look and the constant changing of vehicles. An EP professional should have a minimum of 3 different routes: Primary, secondary’s “A” and “B”. All 3 routes should be reconned at all hours of the day and night…traffic patterns, congestion, light synchronization, routine deliveries, road construction, etc.A van, SUV, or some type of tactical vehicle should always be available with additional weapons, ammo, medical supplies, radios, bomb blankets, and armor shields.

Keep all information on a need to know basis only. Each part of the team has a specific job to do, but only key people need to know the whole operation…the other parts do not. Logic being, if one section of the detail gets captured or compromised, they cannot give up information they do not know.

One member of your team should be a certified combat medic, preferably a former Special Forces or Navy Seal Medic. The Sr. agent is responsible for communication with local law enforcement, ascertaining and securing all required licenses, permits, and if required, weapons registrations.

Candidates should be prior Military/LEO, fluent in other languages, especially if traveling overseas. Personnel should be unencumbered with families of their own as spouses/children can distract an agent at a critical moment.
