Bodyguard

A Bodyguard, also known as a Personal Protection Officer (PPO), is a security professional responsible for ensuring the physical safety of clients such as executives, celebrities, politicians, and high-net-worth individuals. They assess threats, plan secure routes, and respond swiftly to emergencies. Bodyguards must maintain peak physical fitness, situational awareness, and discretion at all times. Many hold certifications in first aid, defensive driving, and firearms. The role demands adaptability, professionalism, and the ability to operate in high-pressure environments.
