Every major sporting event comes with their unique security challenges. At the Sochi Winter Olympics we blogged about threats of terrorism and political unrest.
In Brazil we see a myriad of challenges. While terrorism is a concern, more consideration is being given to protesting crowds and the crime in Brazil.
Soccer’s FIFA World Cup should be looking for protection against both foreign and domestic threats. Brazil has American bomb-busting robots, German anti-aircraft tanks and Israeli surveillance drones at their disposal.
Unlike the terrorism concerns at Sochi’s Winter Olympics, authorities are focused on unruly fans, political unrest, drug trafficking and citizens that are protesting against the cost of the games. These concerns address both the players and fans, but there are extra steps to take in terms to securing someone who requires high-level security – executive protection.
At the CMP Group we have a division that provides executive protection to clients world-wide.
Each individual and organization has unique security requirements.
-Risk and Threat Assessment
-Advance Logistical Evaluations
Secure the area, wherever you are.
– Executive Travel Coordination
– Have access to armor plated cars and explosive detection devices.
Here are some things that are considered when planning for executive protection detail.

While security guards are mostly using brawn, executive protection details combine brains and brawn.
Brawn
Former law enforcement and military professionals are trained in hand to hand combat and weaponry.
Brains
Able to identify threats based on intelligence regarding the protectee and pinpointing threats.
