Former military and police close protection officers — drawn from HM Forces and RAF Police counter-terrorism backgrounds. Discreet, intelligence-led executive protection across the West Midlands and UK.
Risk Secured's close protection capability is built on real operational experience. Our senior team brings HM Forces and RAF Police counter-terrorism backgrounds to every assignment — not a training course background, but years of working in genuinely high-threat environments.
Close protection is not just about presence. It is about understanding the threat before it materialises. We begin every assignment with a thorough threat assessment, advance work, and route planning — so our officers aren't reacting, they are ahead of the situation at all times.
Whether you require a single CPO for a short engagement or a full protection team for an extended period, Risk Secured provides a discreet, professional service that does not draw attention to itself or its principal.
Senior executives facing credible threats, travelling to higher-risk locations, or requiring protection during sensitive business events. Full threat assessment and advance work as standard.
Personal protection for individuals and families who require discreet, professional coverage — at home, travelling, or during public appearances. No unnecessary profile, no unnecessary risk.
Individuals in the public eye who face elevated risk from unwanted attention, stalking, or organised threat. Discreet coverage that does not amplify the profile of the principal.
Close protection for keynote speakers, VIP guests, or organisers at high-profile events across the West Midlands and UK. From advance planning through to post-event stand-down.
Solicitors, barristers, and other professionals who have received threats arising from their work. Threat assessment, safety planning, and physical protection where required.
Close protection that extends beyond the office — residential security planning, safe route identification, and travel protection for domestic and international assignments.
David has provided me with support for 10+ years on sites I have managed. His knowledge and expertise is exceptional. When presented with a problem he goes above and beyond to resolve it. I can highly recommend him.
