What is a custom protection officer?

A Custom Protection Officer (CPO) is a specialized security professional typically employed by private security firms, such as G4S, to provide high-level protective services for clients, including corporations, government facilities, and critical infrastructure. CPOs are often required to have a background in law enforcement, military, or security, and may be responsible for tasks such as access control, surveillance, emergency response, and incident reporting. They are trained to handle a variety of security situations, maintain a professional demeanor, and ensure safety protocols are followed at the sites they protect.
