Introduction to Executive Protection

By Dale L. June

Book Overview

An Introduction to Executive Protection provides beginners in the occupation of executive protection with the tools they need to know and appreciate the profession; to enable them to realize what is expected when they are placed in positions of confidence and trust; and to understand the implications of being responsible for the safety and lives of others. This guide emphasizes the basic elements of executive protection which are often neglected or overlooked in practical application, even by professional schools of executive protection instruction which sometimes mistakenly assume all enrollees are practiced journeymen. In addition to practical and technical considerations of the profession, "executive protection" means working with people on a personal level. The author draws on his extensive and varied experience in the field to share events that inform and enlighten students of executive protection and teach them how to best avoid endangering those they protect.

Excellent book on executive protection

As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I highly recommend this book from distinguished former agent Dale June. It is well written and very informative. Simply put, you cannot go wrong in purchasing this volume. I was a little disappointed with the 11/22/63 "whitewash", but that was to be expected, quite frankly (what is Mr. June going to say : "My colleagues screwed up in Dallas?"). Get this!

Magnificent! Deserves 10 out of 10 !

As a professional who has been in the industry for a long time I have read numerous publications on the subject of Executive Protection but have not come accross material such as this. I must say that Mr. June goes a step further with this book than most authors so far. He tells it as it is. The book not only covers the basics but also offers very useful information on many points to both begginers and seasonal professionals like myself. Although the book is aimed at the protection specialists in the USA some of the principles still apply world wide. I have thouroghly enjoyed it and I would definately recommend the book to anyone either interested or involved in the industry!

The consumate text for Executive Protection

Dale June really hits the nail on the head with this comprehensive text on EP(Executive Protection). As one of the few women in the profession, I have seen that little is often addressed in 'so called EP books' as to the unique situations that we encounter. June includes material that is essential to the neophyte and experienced professional alike. His text is fast becoming a required reading, and is endorsed by the Director of Training and Professional Certification of the IAPPS (International Association for Professional Protection Specialists) as a core text for those entering the profession.Whether you are looking at the profession from the perspective of just starting, or revisiting the basics to stay on top of your game. This book is a MUST read.

Outstanding

very easy to understand, quick references as you need them you will know if your cut out for this type of work highly recomend it i hate reading but read this cover to cover always going back to chapters of interest.

"The serious practitioner's reference tool and benchmark".

Dale June's expertise and accurate insight into the field of executive and vip protection offers both the novice and experienced professional a "true standard of excellence" to be measured against. Mr.June's extensive career in law enforcement and the private security industry has afforded others a rare glimpse of the dedication,commitment,and professionalism one needs to undertake in the protective services arena. I have had the privilege and good fortune to work with Dale June on numerous assignments in the private sector from 1995 to the present.Most important,was his willingness to answer questions in a very thorough manner and discuss the application of protective principles in the field to enhance our overall effectiveness.I truly believe this speaks to the pertinent aspects of the book since Mr.June has been able to draw on personal anecdotes to further highlight protective protocol and application. I clearly believe anyone who is in the business of protecting principals or clients,domestically or internationally,can derive substantial benefit from this text{this applies to clients as well}. In net,"An Introduction To Executive Protection" by Dale June is an extremely well-written,thought- ful book which should be considered a primary source of information for all interested parties.
