Thirty percent of executive protection agents only last 1 to 2 years in the industry. *
Thus, you have roughly a 1 in 3 chance to be paired with an operative who either has one foot out the door or is lacking the essential experience to provide you adequate security, or worse – both.
Private security is a $48.13B industry – and growing. While growth is often viewed as good, it poses a problem for the uneducated consumer.
Most security companies are so eager to keep up with demand, that they often send out agents who are un-vetted and/or under qualified in an effort to “save the contract” and not lose business. An irresponible, but all too common, practice among small and medium size companies is the use of back channels and message boards on Facebook or Telegram to post single occurance opportunities, sometimes only days before the start date of the contract. They will recruit anyone they can to fill the position(s) they need. These independent contractors are improperly vetted, untrained, and a potential danger to you.
Going with a larger company doesn’t ensure you are getting quality agents either. A common practice among larger companies is the abuse of volume. They use their weight in contract and revenue volume as a decoy for integrity. These companies recruit all comers with the promise of job placement and paying for their state license. These recruits, most with absolutely no experience at all, are presented to you as seasoned and vetted security agents. The company takes your money in exchange for a novice “agent” who has never worked in security or used a firearm outside of their shooting qualification during their license exam.
