Discreet. Decisive. Protection Without Compromise.

Executive protection is a specialized security service designed to safeguard individuals who face elevated risks due to their profession, public profile, wealth, or personal circumstances. Unlike standard security guard services, executive protection involves advance planning, threat assessment, secure transportation, close protection agents, and intelligence-driven strategies — all tailored to the client’s daily life and specific risk factors.

Executive protection is appropriate for corporate executives, high-net-worth individuals, celebrities, attorneys involved in high-profile cases, individuals facing stalking or domestic threats, and anyone whose personal safety requires professional management. You do not need to be famous to need protection — specific, credible threats or high-risk circumstances are often enough to warrant these services.

We offer both armed and unarmed protection options. All armed agents are properly licensed under California law, carry their firearms in compliance with all state and local regulations, and undergo regular training and qualification. The decision to deploy armed versus unarmed agents is made in collaboration with you based on the threat assessment, your preferences, and the environments in which protection will be provided.

The term “bodyguard” implies reactive, physical-only security. Professional executive protection is far more comprehensive. It includes proactive threat assessment, advance reconnaissance of locations and routes, secure logistics planning, intelligence gathering, coordination with law enforcement when necessary, and trained agents who can de-escalate situations before they become physical. Executive protection is a system — not just a person standing beside you.

Our agents are recruited from law enforcement and military backgrounds. They are trained in situational awareness, defensive tactics, emergency medical response, evasive and tactical driving, conflict de-escalation, and client communication. Every agent is licensed through the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) and undergoes continuous professional development.

Yes. While Peterson Security is based in Orange County, California, we have the network and operational capability to coordinate executive protection services across the United States. For out-of-state or international engagements, we work with vetted partner agencies and licensed professionals who meet our standards, ensuring seamless protection wherever you travel.

Every protection engagement is unique, and pricing reflects the scope of services required — including the number of agents, hours of coverage, travel logistics, threat level, and duration of the assignment. We provide transparent, detailed proposals after the initial consultation and threat assessment. Contact us directly for a confidential discussion about your needs and budget.

Not at all. Our agents are trained to integrate into your routine with minimal disruption. We customize the level of visibility — from plainclothes agents who blend into your environment to uniformed details when a visible deterrent is preferred. The goal is always to enhance your safety and peace of mind without interfering with your personal or professional life.
