Sometimes the right protection is a woman.
For some principals, and many families, a female close protection officer is not a preference but a requirement — for cultural reasons, for a lower profile, or simply because she can go where a man in a suit cannot without drawing a second glance.
Where it matters
- Family and children's settings, school runs and daytime routines
- Principals who prefer a female officer for personal or cultural reasons
- Environments where a woman attracts less attention than a man would
- Situations that call for the soft skills that de-escalate rather than confront
The same standard
Our female officers hold the same current SIA Close Protection licence, the same BS 7858 vetting and the same experience threshold as every operative we deploy. The only variable is the right fit for your situation.
Where the need arises
A female officer can cover the whole of a family’s day: school gates in Kensington and Hampstead, the Knightsbridge shops, a clinic appointment in Marylebone, a weekend in Richmond or Wimbledon, family homes in Surrey and Cheshire. Cover is arranged UK-wide from a Lincolnshire base.
