Generally, for national dignitaries, they will have close bodyguards around them. These dignitaries' personal bodyguards are no better than ordinary private bodyguards. For example, US President trump, whom we are familiar with, is always accompanied by close bodyguards, who are expressionless, wearing headphones and sunglasses and staring at every move around. You know, these bodyguards are actually agents from the US secret service. The U.S. secret service, founded in 1865, was originally a federal law enforcement agency subordinate to the Department of finance. It is mainly responsible for investigating and dealing with economic and financial crimes such as making and selling fake dollars and bonds. After the assassination of William McKinley, then president of the United States in 1901, the secret service began to be responsible for protecting the president, vice president and their families, as well as specific political figures and important security sites. Before entering the U.S. secret service, these presidential bodyguards must first be American citizens, and their grades are between 21 and 37 years old. They must have a valid driver's license, meet the visual requirements and be physically and mentally healthy. Education level is also required. Generally, you must have a bachelor's degree or above. If not, you need at least 3 years of law enforcement experience. In addition to the basic conditions and education, there are also strict background examination and testing (including drugs, lie detection, physical examination, etc.). Then they will have the most rigorous training for about half a year. In the first three months, the newcomers will be sent to the federal law enforcement training center in greenko, Georgia or atsia, New Mexico. The intensity here is not very strong, mainly business training, including investigation technology, gun training, arrest law and police procedures. Upon completion, the newcomers will be sent to the James Raleigh secret service training center in laurel, Maryland for special training. This is the real devil training. In addition to the training of psychological quality, you also need to be familiar with the use of a variety of weapons and equipment, including heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun, Remington 870 shot gun and SIG Sauer p229 pistol. No matter whether they have mastered it before or not, they must learn and train the use of firearms for a total of 104 class hours, which is also a multi scene. In addition to weapons, we also need to master police dog technology, be able to skillfully guide and operate police dogs, and perform various tasks, including explosive disposal, investigation, arrest, etc. In addition, we also need to master special driving technology, first aid and other technologies to prevent special situations. Behind the bright and high salary, there are all kinds of training with high standards, high intensity and high requirements. Just like every excellent private bodyguard, behind any success is not achieved overnight, because the responsibility of private bodyguards is safety!
