If peace of mind matters to you, put your trust in the bodyguards at Professional Protection Services International

To the untrained eye, trouble seems to spring up without warning. However, our experienced bodyguards have the vision to detect threats ahead of time, whether they are planned or merely opportunistic.
To further ensure your safety, your bodyguard works directly with you and your team to strategically assess any situation and fully understand potential threats. With today’s world constantly changing day by day.
When it comes to your security, there is no room for mistakes. Leaving anything to chance can lead to unexpected challenges that quickly spiral out of control. To ensure your safety in any environment, our bodyguards develop a comprehensive security strategy fully tailored to your unique situation.
The best bodyguards are always present but seldom seen by the untrained eye. Effective bodyguard cloaking is only possible with comprehensive advanced planning that identifies and mitigates every risk. Security strategies for VIPs must also be flexible because unforeseen events are never an excuse for putting a client at risk.
We almost hate to call our team members “bodyguards” because they offer far more than the word denotes. With extensive military and law enforcement backgrounds, they have the experience required to anticipate and deter any threat. They also have the real-world security experience needed to mitigate the particular issues you face as a VIP.
Most importantly, they will respect your requests and listen to your input. Our bodyguards are hospitable, friendly, and always professional. If you need extra care, they will willingly meet your needs. This is the customer service aspect of bodyguard service that is often overlooked by other members of our industry but it’s something we take very seriously.


Every member of our security team is rigorously trained and must meet stringent requirements that maximize their ability to handle any situation. Threats can materialize at any time, so we provide our bodyguards with every tool they need to anticipate threats, mitigate risks, and confront challenges head-on.
Ongoing training ensures our bodyguards are up-to-date on current law enforcement techniques and technology. Even more important is their understanding of security response protocols that ensure they remain professional in even the most trying circumstances. Making split-second decisions in the field requires in-depth training, advanced planning, and the utmost professionalism. You should never settle for anything less from your bodyguards.
All of our bodyguards have certifications and clearances that include:
- Criminal history clearance (local, state, and federal)
- First Aid, CPR, and AED
- Drug testing
- Aggressive behavior management
- Former Bomb Techs
- Hostage Negotiators
- FEMA Response Teams
- Riot Control/ Large gathering.
- K9 Handlers ( From Bite K9’s to Tracking Hounds)
We can provide you with armed or unarmed bodyguards based on your needs or preference.
Our unarmed & armed security guards are law enforcement officers and highly trained retired military members, including Navy Seals and Army Rangers. All of our unarmed & armed security guards are highly trained and certified to offer the highest levels of protection in any situation.


Unarmed security guards can be highly visible or invisible depending on your particular needs. When dressed to match other people in the environment, unarmed security guards are often referred to as “plainclothes” or “undercover” agents. There are a number of reasons why you may want your security blend in, such as when protecting against shoplifting or theft.
High profile unarmed security guards act as a deterrent. They often wear uniforms and are outfitted with gear that includes flashlights, radios, and formal identification.
Another indispensable tool used by our private investigators is our state-of-the-art computer system, which allows us to keep track of our employees and locations in real-time. From report writing to location scanning capability, we can instantly track all movements. Our software systems effortlessly generate daily reports and weekly reports, including graphic results, photos, and videos. We even have a client portal so that you can access these reports and be informed as your case develops
