I am a special tactics, firearms instructor and operator for Risks Inc. My experience in international close protection / bodyguard and specialist security business started in 1988 when I enlisted in the British army and volunteered for a 22-month operational tour in Northern Ireland in an infantry unit. This gave me amongst other things an excellent grounding in anti-terrorist operations. I then joined my unit's Reconnaissance Platoon where I undertook intensive training in small-unit warfare. I have also undertook training with specialist units such as the RM Mountain and Artic Warfare Cadre and US Army's Special Forces. Since leaving the British army in 1993 I have provided an extensive range of specialist cloese protection, investigation and tactical training services to international corporate, private and government clients. My experience has included providing close protection / bodyguard services for Middle Eastern Royal families and varied corporate clients, specialist security and asset protection, embassy security, kidnap and ransom / crisis management, corporate investigations and intelligence, asset recovery and specialist tactical, bodyguard and para-military training for private individuals, specialist tactical police units and government agencies. Over the years, I have become accustomed to the types of complications that can occur, when dealing with international law enforcement agencies and the problem of organized crime.
