· Close Protection – witness protection
We have provided various clients in both the professional sports and show business sectors with personal security in situations where there safety may have become an issue. Our staff are smart, discreet, professional and reliable and able to contain situations before they become un-manageable.
Our operatives are fully trained, usually former military or law enforcement, and licenced under the Security Industry Act. We have male and female operatives.
One area we are now being requested to cover is witness protection.
Certain high profile cases involving the evidence supplied by a company employee – commonly known as a whistleblower’, can be very sensitive, and sometimes dangerous situations. The suspects can stand to lose their whole lifestyles, which they may have enjoyed for several years, and therefore the stakes can be very high.
An intimidated or frightened witness can ruin the whole case and be very expensive in legal costs.
Our expertise in the law enforcement arena particularly, dealing with the protection of high profile informants, usually described as ‘supergrasses’, whose lives were constantly under threat, has provided the skills needed to protect the witness, and just as importantly, create wherever possible a stress free environment where the witness can continue a reasonably normal life whilst waiting to give their evidence. This is not just about protection –it is also the consideration of the witnesses everyday welfare and social issues, and identifying when that witness may be under extreme stress and possibly threatening the credibility of the witness.
