Job Description: "Security Driver" By: Tony Scotti Tony Scotti regularly addresses this issue with client organizations who send protection drivers through our security driver-training program -- Tony has been at this for 30 years, so he has some definitive views to offer. One major concern is that a number of corporations take an ordinary chauffeur and designate him or her as a "security driver" to take advantage of IRS codes that allow companies to write off certain executive security expenses. Full Article The Executive Vehicle: "Ride vs. Handling" By: Jerry Yoakum Many times, when the selection of an executive vehicle is made, there is little consideration given to the vehicles handling capability. When making the choice of the executive vehicle the deciding factors are most likely based on look, comfort, environment, and availability. While these criteria are valid considerations, there is another feature that should be considered, "handling." This article discusses vehicle handling and looks at the handling capability of some of the most popular vehicles being used to transport today's executive. Full Article Tires - The most important...And forgotten component on the vehicle From a vehicle handling standpoint, the tire is the most Important component on any vehicle. The "Tire" controls all functions. The tire,or more precisely tire pressure, represents the number one maintenance problem found on vehicles today. This is of especially important for drivers of SUV's whose handling is deeply impacted by insufficient tire pressure. We have found a handy web site that explains the markings on a tire and provides important tire information that every driver should know. Tire Information

Advanced Security Driver/Vehicle Seminar Tony Scotti Associates (TSA) has developed a two-day Advanced Security Driver/Vehicle seminar. The need for the seminar is dictated by the changes we face as providers of secure transportation. We are facing a different enemy - not new - different. Although there are basic fundamental that still apply, tactics are changing - vehicles are changing - and the environments we drive through are changing. The seminar is based on the theory that in order to provide safe and secure transportation - whether it be a person - people - or things, requires managing and controlling The Driver - The Vehicle - and the Environment they drive through. For 30 years we have called this the "Security Triangle", and the Security Triangle is exactly what the seminar is all about. THE DRIVER The role of the security driver has taken on a new meaning. Security driving is no longer just the act of driving. It has as much to do with managing - and with the tactics and vehicles used in today's environment - you need to be a good as a manager (if not better) than you are a driver. THE VEHICLE The types of vehicles used for security purposes have changed radically, everything form Mercedes Benz - to SUV's, and in some areas of the world pick up trucks, are being used to supply security and for executive transportation. THE ENVIRONMENT The environment the driver and vehicle move through range from New York traffic to horrific journey through roadside bomb laden streets, in some scenarios controlling the environment is difficult, but it still needs to be managed. It is at times the most important aspect of the triangle.
