“If you’re looking to protect someone or something that is valuable, you need to research who will be providing the protection,” says Abiona of Credible Security Solutions. When requesting a quote, ask about these requirements:
Training in your areas of need: Ask whether the bodyguards have weapons training, surveillance experience, evasive driving skills, or other abilities that fit your situation. More rigorous training may mean a higher cost.
Complete background checks, drug tests, and psychological profiles: Find out what screening your security service does, and ask about specific areas of concern.
Licensure within your state: Make sure your bodyguard meets any applicable state requirements.
