Question 3

What is the difference between a bodyguard and executive protection?

Accepted Answer

A bodyguard typically provides reactive physical security, while executive protection is a proactive, intelligence-driven discipline. Executive protection agents conduct advance work, threat assessments, route planning, and coordinate with local law enforcement. They are trained to prevent incidents before they occur, rather than simply responding to threats. Roman Sanford agents come from elite backgrounds including CIA, Army Special Forces, SWAT, and federal law enforcement.
