Protecting the Executive While in Transit By: Jerry T. Yoakum Whether in a high-risk or low-risk environment, protection of executives and company personnel while in transit is an increasing challenge to the security and safety professional. Kidnap, Workplace Violence, Murder (assassination), and acts of terrorism, especially targeting high profile individuals, are all real threats that must be taken into consideration by the executive and those responsible for his or her safety. With today's market driven economy, nothing could potentially disrupt or destabilize a corporation's stock value more than the effective removal of those persons responsible for the running of the organization. Today's CEOs and other top ranking executives are prime targets of opportunity for those individuals or groups who are looking for opportunities to disrupt the company's or individual's regular operations. In addition to those who fill the corporate boardrooms, political leaders, celebrities, and other high-profile persons are also at risk due to the nature of their position or notoriety. In several parts of the world Kidnap and Ransom has become a cottage industry with most attacks planned while the victim is in transit. A look back at several case studies and the history of kidnap, extortion, assassination, and acts of terrorism against executives and other high profile individuals proves this to be true. In some studies the statistics have shown that as many as 70 to 80 percent of all attacks have taken place while the intended target was in transit. In this article, I will discuss some of the reasons why such a large number of attacks take place while the executive or high profile person is in transit. And, I will discuss a variety of techniques and habits that can be utilized by the executive and/or those responsible for his protection to minimize these risks. Full Article
