Who Needs Personal Protection Services?
While many people are quick to think of celebrities and high-profile business people as those who may well require personal protective services, there are many people who could benefit from the added safety and security provided by professionally trained protection specialists. Those going through a contentious divorce, for example, could benefit from the peace of mind and personal safety provided by personal protection security. Individuals who are dealing with a disgruntled former employee or co-worker may also need assistance from personal protection companies. If someone has threatened you or assaulted you in the past, you need personal protection, as well as possibly personal protection training provided by professionals and a personal protection assessment of your daily security risks at home and at work. If you are not able to protect yourself, you need the peace of mind that comes from professionally trained protection officers safeguarding you when you are vulnerable.
Why Aren't Court Orders or Law Enforcement Sufficient?
It is far too common, in cases of interpersonal tension for a person being threatened, harassed, or stalked, to obtain a personal protection order (PPO) from the courts in the hope that this will improve one’s safety. That piece of paper simply makes it easier for the prosecution of an aggressive individual; in the event of an altercation, the exact PPO requirements will matter less than the aid of highly trained and licensed officers provided by a personal protection company such as Professional Protection & Investigations (PPI). While having a PPO in place makes it easier to have someone arrested and detained for threatening or stalking you, it won't actually prevent that individual from approaching or assaulting you. Similarly, while laws like the Personal Data Protection Act theoretically prevent people from releasing your personal data online, without careful steps to protect your personal data, there is no guarantee against that information being shared.How Can Personal Protection Companies Help?
In addition to providing at-risk individuals with high-quality on-location professionally trained protection, a personal protection officer can help by working with you to minimize your exposure to threats, assault, and stalking. PPI can help you obtain personal protection insurance. They can also perform a personal protection assessment to help you minimize environmental and routine risks. Additionally, they can help you decide what personal protection products make the best sense for your situation. If you want, PPI's security officers can even help you complete training in self-defense and personal protection provided by respected companies, such as the Center for Personal Protection and Safety.Nothing deters an unstable would-be assailant like professional security officers. While they may be cost-prohibitive in the long term, they can provide security while an at-risk individual is having one’s home and work spaces assessed for risk and is being trained in personal protection. Don't gamble with the safety of yourself, your loved ones, or your employees.
