We’ve all seen mainstream media showing personal security guards indulging in intense fights with enemies of their clients time and time again. Their job might look quite exciting on screen but is pretty mundane in reality. It not only involves following their clients like a shadow and protecting them from potential threats, but also planning travel routes, evaluating venues to be visited by their client in advance, frisking and studying the background of everyone meeting or contacting them, and much more.
Now, to have a personal security officer that fits your needs like a missing puzzle piece, it is important to look for at least the following five qualities: Readiness A personal security officer, in a way, is the first face the client or any person meeting you sees. Since we all know, “first impression = last impression”, that first face they see must create a positive impression. A great security officer’s identity is how well he prepares himself to look and behave professionally. He must look the part he is playing with his uniform which also must be comfortable enough to help them carry out his duties as well as the movie-like fights in case of any threat to their client’s safety.
Attitude
Patience is probably the top skill in any personal security officer’s job description. His attitude must be calm but assertive to deal with the job at hand. There are several tasks that he needs to handle and accomplish on his own. Honesty also plays a vital role in your choice of personal security officers since that is how you can trust them with your work as well as life and security.
Quick reflexes
A security officer’s job requires him to be alert all the time to detect and be ready to fight any possible threat. He doesn’t have a lot of time to deeply assess a situation and come up with a solution. He must be skilled enough to observe the threat in any situation and act with a quick reflex to avoid it. Along with quick reflexes, the personnel must also have the rational ability to identify a legitimate threat and its potential strength and make a good judgement call based on it.
Lead and follow
Personal security guards must be aware of the situations when they are required to lead and the ones where they are supposed to follow the rules. Their leadership qualities come into play when they are faced with a situation where they must impose strict practices in order to protect you from a possible threat. Although they are required to follow certain rules, their real skill lies in sensing the danger and taking immediate action against it even if it means having to go against a few rules.
Fitness and communication skills
Apart from the very obvious physical fitness, personal security officers are also required to be great communicators in order to get the point across. Not just to the attackers, but also to their own teams and clients. It is an important skill for them communicate the potential threat and the plan of action within seconds as threats don’t usually spare a lot of time.
