The term “Executive Protection” was coined in the 1970s by the United States Secret Service when they created the Executive Protection Service to protect visiting foreign dignitaries.
Executive Protection (EP) also known as Close Personal Protection or Body Guarding refers to security measures taken to ensure the safety of individuals who may be exposed to elevated personal risk because of their employment, elected office, candidacy, celebrity status, wealth, associations or geographical location.
Although many people may not like the additional security at first because the executive protection personal may be noticed, a genuine security detail is respected and elevates the professional and social status of the person being protected.
