This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to implement close protection services to protect the safety and security of a principal who may be a celebrity, political figure, very important person (VIP) or other person requiring close protection services.
It includes:
searching and securing premises to be used by the principal, and providing close protection escort services using approved foot formations and procedures for debus and embus
maintaining communication with the principal and members of the close protection team to ensure ongoing safety and security, maintain situational awareness and identify and respond decisively to threats which may come from multiple sources
using reasonable defensive techniques that minimise use of force and maximise the safety and security of the principal, self and others.
It applies to people working independently or under limited supervision as members of a security team.
This unit may form part of the licensing requirements for people engaged in security operations in those states and territories where these are regulated activities.
