Executive Protection
Personal protection for principals who require more than a visible security presence. Discreet, capable, and built around your life.
Executive protection is the core of what Praetorian delivers. This is not a guard standing at a door. It is a coordinated security operation built around you: your schedule, your risk profile, your environment, and your need for privacy. Our operators are trained to move with you, not stand out. The most effective protection is the kind no one notices.
How Praetorian Approaches Executive Protection
Every engagement starts with intelligence. Before an operator is ever deployed, we conduct a full threat assessment, review your patterns of life, evaluate your exposure profile, and identify vulnerabilities. Advance work is completed before every movement. Routes are planned, venues are surveyed, contingencies are in place. The principal moves freely because the work has already been done.
Low-Profile, High-Capability Operators
Our protection specialists come from military and law enforcement backgrounds with real operational experience. They know how to read environments, de-escalate situations, and respond decisively when required. They also know how to blend into high-end social and corporate settings without drawing attention. That balance of capability and discretion is what separates executive protection from basic security.
What an Executive Protection Detail Includes
Protection details are tailored to the engagement. A typical detail may include advance work and route surveys, close protection during movements and events, secure transportation coordination, liaison with venue security and local law enforcement, and real-time communication with the operations team. The scope scales to the risk level and the principal's preferences.
Built on 25+ Years of Real Experience
Praetorian's founder, Chris Smith, has led executive protection operations at the highest levels, including a personal security detachment for Jeff Bezos and the Amazon Board of Directors at Kennedy Space Center. That experience informs every detail of how we plan, execute, and manage protection for our clients. This is not theoretical. Every protocol we follow was developed in real operational environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is executive protection?
Executive protection is a specialized security discipline focused on safeguarding individuals who face elevated risk due to their status, wealth, profession, or public profile. It goes beyond basic bodyguard services to include advance work, threat assessment, route planning, and protective intelligence.
How is executive protection different from a bodyguard?
A bodyguard provides reactive physical security. Executive protection is proactive and intelligence-driven, encompassing threat assessments, advance work, route surveys, and coordinated security planning. The goal is to prevent incidents before they occur, not just respond to them.
Who needs executive protection in Florida?
Corporate executives, high-net-worth individuals, public figures, celebrities, visiting dignitaries, and families who face elevated security risks. Florida's tourism, corporate presence, and high-profile events make executive protection a critical service for principals operating in the state.
