EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Security personnel must be able to work under high-stress conditions,
including long, irregular hours in unfamiliar places, and they must do
so with the understanding that they cannot, under any circumstances,
become distracted from their first priority: protecting the executive
from harm or injury. In Personnel Protection: Security Personnel, pre-
senters Jerome Miller and Radford Jones discuss the criteria with
which executive security personnel are selected and the requirements
for training.
In this seven-minute proven practices presentation, which is one of
11 modules in the Personnel Protection series, the presenters highlight
the pros and cons of proprietary and contractual personnel and the
benefits and disadvantages of armed and unarmed personnel. General
selection criteria, including personality, physical ability, and experi-
ence, are also included. When training security personnel, the presen-
ters stress the importance of adapting the training program to fit the
unique needs of the executive under protection.
Miller has served as a commander in the Detroit Police Department
and as the senior manager of international and special security opera-
tions at Chrysler Corporation. Jones is the former manager of global
security and fire protection at Ford Motor Company and spent 20
years in the public sector with the US Secret Service.
WHAT ARE PROVEN PRACTICES?
Proven practices are visual PowerPoint presentations with audio narra-
tion that provide proven concepts and practices for security and busi-
ness professionals seeking new and creative ways to understand and
shape security. Proven practices have been created by experienced
practitioners of leading organizations and describe concepts or prac-
tices that have been successfully implemented and are proven to work.
They provide a framework that can be quickly customized and incor-
porated to meet the specific needs of an organization and its culture.
Practitioners use proven practices to learn about applications, provide

staff training, or create organizational awareness. Educators enhance
current curriculums by adding real-world insight and workplace con-
text from relevant practitioners who have held positions similar to
those students are preparing for. Proven practices can be utilized to
enhance course offerings as a “guest lecture” option.
