A Personal Protection Agent, often referred to as a bodyguard, is a security professional responsible for ensuring the safety and security of individuals who may be exposed to elevated personal risk due to their status, occupation, or other factors. These agents assess potential threats, plan secure transportation routes, and provide close physical protection to their clients. Personal Protection Agents may work for celebrities, executives, dignitaries, or high-profile individuals. Their duties can include surveillance, risk assessment, emergency response, and sometimes travel with their client. The role requires training in security protocols, situational awareness, and sometimes defensive tactics.
