Nowadays, close protection companies are becoming increasingly popular as factory of saviour of life and health of another individual.
In everyday conversation, especially in action writing, the term “muscle” is sometimes used to describe security personnel. However, at Brits Protection Security Ltd, we recognize that this label is both inaccurate and reductive. Just as calling a police officer a “cop” can be seen as disrespectful, referring to trained security professionals as “muscle” fails to acknowledge the expertise and strategic thinking required in this profession.
At Brits Protection Security Ltd, we believe that true security is not about brute strength — it’s about intelligence, foresight, and preparation. While physical intervention may be necessary in a small percentage of situations (approximately 20%), the vast majority of a bodyguard’s responsibilities — around 80% — involve prevention, risk assessment, and strategic planning.
Female bodyguards offer unique advantages in close protection. Their ability to access female-only spaces (like restrooms or changing rooms) makes them ideal for certain assignments. While they may be underestimated by adversaries due to their appearance, this often works to their tactical advantage.
Women are often highly detail-oriented and possess strong intuition, making them effective in detecting threats others might miss. Their discreet presence allows them to act with the element of surprise when needed.
A security guard involved in protection-oriented tasks must be properly equipped and dressed. Exceptional skills and capabilities alone may not be enough while encountering an excellently fitted offender.
Dark-colored, loose-fitting, and free of bright details. Must conceal equipment and a bulletproof vest without hindering weapon access.
Light-colored (but not white) and slightly oversized to accommodate protective gear underneath while remaining professional in appearance.
Subtle and color-coordinated with the shirt. Should be secured with a breakaway rubber loop to prevent choking during attacks.
Straight-cut, loose, and without cuffs. Designed to support a utility belt comfortably and allow free movement.
