Interview with private female bodyguards (Part 1)

When I say, "would you like another cup of coffee?" that means, "we need to go out," said Elizabeth Watson, looking at me while drinking espresso in a cafe in London. We just sat down and a novice who had not experienced the task of bodyguard sat in front of me. "What if I haven't finished yet?" I asked. Elizabeth did not answer my question. "When we run, you follow me," she said simply, her eyes tilted to one side to see if there was a threat in the room. I knew what she said was serious. I never doubted what the slim female bodyguard said. She could easily drag me out of the house in black tight jeans and black boots; In addition, she has taken care of many of the richest and most powerful people in the world, and has not had an injured client. Afterwards, she explained that the coffee problem was a secret sign, "when I asked her if she wanted to drink coffee, I sent a message to the driver and asked the driver to wait at the appointed place, so that I could escort the employer to get on the bus smoothly and leave safely. If I told the customer this, they knew that this meant that the area had been threatened and we needed to leave immediately." "I was with a famous actress in France recently. The paparazzi attracted the attention of the crowd. In this case, when the same face appears in front of you again and again, but they just look a little cunning, the bodyguard's intuition tells you that there is something wrong with this situation, which needs to be vigilant. This situation is prone to kidnapping." Elizabeth said. Kidnapping is one of the main fears of celebrities, royals and high net worth people. According to a report of anti kidnapping action, 1141 cases of child abduction occurred in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2014-15, including 618 non parental kidnapping attempts. Last year, 10200 tracking cases were reported - a decade ago Twice. Since tracking often leads to attacks or kidnappings, the bodyguard is very vigilant to see the same face in the crowd many times. Elizabeth experienced the kidnapping personally. She said: "I was kidnapped while doing some undercover police work by the gangsters we tried to ban. They interrogated me in the farmhouse for 20 hours, and their men went out to check my background story. I told myself it didn't really happen, I was making a movie. Fortunately, they didn't find anything, so they let me go. It was terrible. Back home , I threw up when I closed the door, but this ability to keep calm in major situations makes you a good bodyguard. "Elizabeth, 50, a former detective who has been a bodyguard for the past 12 years and lives in tynwell county with her husband, said: "We care about the reputation and safety of our customers. We will also agree with the employer that when we perceive the danger, we need the employer to show their intention to leave the site, and then we will escort the employer to leave the site as soon as possible to avoid the danger. In the service process of our bodyguards, we often act as false bad people of the employer. For example, I recently hired a Businessman, he held a press conference in a hotel. We agreed with him that when he had had enough, he asked me for a mobile phone charger, and then I drove him out of the building and took him into the car. He showed an expression that he didn't want to leave. Such a situation is a common phenomenon for our private bodyguards. We should not only protect the safety of the employer, but also when the employer needs us We also need to actively cooperate with employers when playing fake bad guys. Now more and more employers realize that female bodyguards are playing the "bad guys" needed by employers The role has a huge advantage over male private bodyguards. Although employers have an increasing demand for female private bodyguards, less than 1000 of the 14130 people holding close protection licenses in the UK are women, according to the security industry authority. "Of this number, only 30 may be true." Alex bonberg, Group CEO of intelligent protection international, said that the company's customers include model Miranda Kerr. "But I have noticed that in the past four or five years, the demand for female private bodyguards has surged, and these data can no longer keep up with the increase in the number of female private bodyguards.
