October 5th, 2011 by Capitol Risk
Personal Security Awareness is something that is often over looked.
In today’s world of mp3’s, iphones, tablets and gadgets, it’s easy to be engrossed in emails, games or movies while on the train, sitting in the pub or waiting at the bus stop. Did you have a quick look around before you got your ipad out?

Jerry Springer – Media Personality Recommends UK Security Alliance
January 17th, 2011 by Capitol Risk
People who use professional security services don’t realise that holding an SIA (Security Industry Authority) close protection licence only means a person has passed a 14 day course, has a clean criminal history and has paid £245 to the Government to be allowed to work in the security industry. The shocking reality is that you could be entrusting your safety to someone who has never worked in the security industry before.

Close Protection – Two Common Misconceptions
May 10th, 2010 by Capitol Risk
“The guys have to be big” or “everyone has to be ex-military” are probably the two most common misconceptions about close protection.
I have seen people who use close protection services surround themselves with the biggest guys they can find, but big doesn’t necessarily equal safe. If you choose to have this style of security, be aware that wherever you go, everyone will know where you are and how many security officers you have.
