Will Geddes (Close Protection Officer) gives expert video advice on: How do I become a close protection officer?

Becoming a close protection officer is a difficult task. There are a lot of people that want to become a close protection officer. I, for example, get on average maybe a hundred CVs a month from individuals who want to become a close protection officer. Traditionally, people generally will come from military or former police backgrounds. But those who are very determined to become close protection officers will need to go through some very extensive training before a security company will consider them, obviously, as a viable prospect to look after an important client.
