Hiring a personal bodyguard: protection for individuals & families
What a personal bodyguard does for private individuals and families, when ordinary people need close protection, and how discreet residential and travel security works.
November 4, 2025
You do not have to be famous to need a personal bodyguard. Private individuals and families engage close protection for many reasons — and done well, it is discreet enough that no one around you would know.
When individuals hire close protection
Common situations include:\n\n- Harassment, stalking or a specific personal threat\n- A contentious legal matter, separation or dispute\n- Carrying valuables, cash or sensitive items\n- Returning to a home or area where you feel unsafe\n- Peace of mind during a high-stress period
Protection for the family
Family details are built around routine and discretion — school runs, activities and travel — with vetted officers who understand how to protect children and partners without disrupting daily life.
Discreet and proportionate
For individuals, the right footprint is usually small: one or two officers, secure transport when needed, and a plan that fits your life. Protection should reduce stress, not add to it.
