General Synopsis:

VIP Protection is a market filled with professionals, average individuals with too little training, and far too many weekend warriors.

GSC Centre and Milites Dei Academy aim to provide training to those teams and individuals who recognize that VIP Protection is not simply an offshoot of location based security, or even from team based operations. VIP Protection is a dedicated, complex, and dynamic security discipline that has its own unique requirements. True protection professionals understand these requirements, and thrive in the dynamic environment of personnel based protection.

VIP Close Protection plays a critical role in the daily operation of government, corporate, military, and civilian organizations. As such, its impact on the ability of these organizations to perform their mandates cannot be left to chance. Global Security Centre not only recognizes this fact, it excels in being one of the leaders in training, assessing, and implementing VIP Protection for some of the world most prominent figures. Global Security Centre has been recognized as a leader in its VIP Protection skill, knowledge and professionalism.
