The Protective Detail
From State Department Missions to the Corporate C-Suite
by Warren Pulley
The seat beside the principal is the hardest seat on any protective detail. This book shows you how to sit in it.
Not a war memoir: a plain-spoken field guide to how executive protection actually works, from the perimeter to the curb to the boardroom. It covers:
- Full, limited, and remote advance work, and finding choke points before an attacker does
- Routes, vehicles, motorcades, arrivals, and departures, and getting off the X
- Recognizing pre-attack behavior and cover-and-evacuate in the first three seconds
- Protective intelligence grounded in published Secret Service research
- Insider threats from staff, drivers, and vendors
- Deciding whether an executive needs protection, and hiring it well
Appendices include an advance survey, movement plan, threat intake form, emergency action plan, hotel security checklist, vendor vetting checklist, and glossary.
