Britannia Security's Close protection officers (CPOs), are highly dedicated individuals who are trained to protect clients (known as principals) from deliberate attack, accidents or unwanted attention. Their duties include:

• Protecting the principal from threats of physical violence

• Checking our premises before the pricipal arrives

• Installing surveillance equipment

• Accompanying the priincipal on business and social trips

• Driving the principal to and from venues.

Britannia Security's CPOs work for people in the public eye, including royalty, foreign dignitaries, politicians, high-profile business people, legal professionals and celebrities. Specialist duties may include residential security, making sure the principal's premises are secure. All of our CPOs  are trained in defensive and evasive driving.

Offering 24-hour protection means that this is rarely a weekday nine-to-five job. It can involve early starts, potentially lots of traveling, maybe abroad, and late nights. Some of our CPOs work in hostile countries.

All of our CPOs  are ex-police or armed forces who have completed the relevant Security Industry Authority (SIA) close protection courses.
