Residential and Family Protection Specialist
Praetorian is hiring operators for long-term residential security, family protection details, and home security assessments for HNW families across Florida.
Praetorian Executive Protection LLC is hiring residential and family protection specialists for recurring assignments across Florida. These roles cover estate security, family protection details, home security assessments, access control, and long-term residential postings for HNW families. Operators must combine technical security skills with the soft skills to operate seamlessly within a family environment.
Residential and family protection is the most relationship-driven segment of executive protection. You are not just securing a location. You are becoming a trusted part of a family's daily life. That requires a different operator profile: someone who can handle access control and perimeter security, but also communicate with household staff, interact appropriately with children, and maintain a protective posture that enhances the family's lifestyle rather than disrupting it. Praetorian handles this work across Florida and needs operators who understand the distinction.
Estate Security
Perimeter monitoring, access control, camera systems oversight, and security protocol management for residential properties and private estates.
Family Protection
Close protection for family members including spouses and children. School routes, activity coverage, travel coordination, and daily movement security.
Home Security Assessment
Comprehensive property vulnerability assessments, security system recommendations, emergency planning, and physical security improvements.
Long-Term Postings
Residential protection is often recurring work. Proven operators move into long-term retainer positions with consistent schedules and stable compensation.
What Residential Protection Looks Like
A residential detail might involve daily access control at a private estate, school pickup and drop-off for the principal's children, security system monitoring, coordination with household staff, and maintaining a low-profile protective posture throughout the day. Some assignments are single-operator, others involve a small team rotating shifts. The work is steady, relationship-driven, and requires operators who can be trusted inside a family's private space.
Who We Hire for Residential Roles
Operators with prior residential security, estate management, or family protection experience are preferred. Military backgrounds with security force or base security experience translate well. Law enforcement officers with community policing or protective detail experience also fit. The soft skills matter as much as the hard skills for these roles: communication, discretion, patience, and the ability to be present without being intrusive.
The Retainer Pathway
Residential protection is where Praetorian operators build long-term relationships with clients. Operators who perform well on initial assignments are offered recurring work, and the best residential operators move into retainer arrangements with stable compensation and consistent schedules. This is the most reliable pathway to sustained EP income.

Questions About This Role
Are residential protection roles full-time?
Many residential roles become full-time equivalent through recurring scheduling. Initial assignments start as assignment-based, and operators who perform well are offered more consistent and longer-term postings.
Do I need experience working with families?
Preferred but not required if your background demonstrates the right soft skills. Military or LE operators who have worked in community-facing or diplomatic roles often transition well into family protection.
What does compensation look like for residential roles?
Day rate for assignment-based work, transitioning to retainer compensation for long-term postings. Residential retainers are among the most stable compensation structures in EP.
Where are residential assignments located?
Primarily across Florida: Brevard County, Orlando, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Naples, and Jacksonville. HNW residential communities across the state generate consistent demand.
