Have you ever feared for your life?

Will Geddes (Close Protection Officer) gives expert video advice on: What's the difference between a close protection officer and a bodyguard?; Do I have the right to kill someone?; Am I bound by criminal law if I hurt someone? and more...

The simple answer when people ask me, "Have I ever feared for my life?" is yes, and often. And the simple reason is that, unless you do have some element of fear and anxiety before you go into a close protection job - whether it be operating in Iraq, Hellman Province, Colombia, Mexico, wherever - if you go in there completely blasé and not feeling just slightly in jeopardy, then you're not going to be working on all your senses. And ultimately, you're not only putting your principal at risk, but you're putting yourself at risk.
