What will it protect me against?
Close protection should work on two levels: a preventative level and a reactive level. It should look at obviously ensuring there is planning set around your social and working environment to protect you against a human risk ambushing you, jumping out at you from a car, or presenting itself in places where you least expect it. Close protection is a protective membrane, or a fabric, around you to ensure that you can go about your normal day as easily as you can with the minimum of disruption but the highest degree of safety.
