SGI - High-Risk Dignitary Protection - HRDP

(4-Days / 40-hours)

Designed to prepare operators for placement on a Protective Service Detail

The Solutions Group International (SGI) High-Risk Dignitary Protection - HRDP course is a very ambitious and comprehensive program delivered in our new and extended format.

The SGI training staff is comprised of operators from both the military and law enforcement Special Operations Communities. The SGI HRDP course is taught by instructors currently performing on U.S. Department of State Dignitary and Diplomatic security service contracts domestically and abroad. SGI instructors developed the curriculum for this course, which was later approved by the U.S. Department of State for the training of personnel performing on a domestic government contract providing armed protective services to a foreign diplomat and his family.

The SGI High-Risk Dignitary Protection Course focuses on Diplomatic Security and Executive Protection domestically and abroad and is designed to prepare operators for placement on a Protective Service Detail. Our primary objective is to teach students the requisite skills they will need to provide armed protective services in high-threat environments. Training at this level enables the operator to ramp up or scale down their overall security profile based on evolving threats.

Tactics and techniques taught during this course are combined with realistic training scenarios to test the operator as an individual, a team-member, and as a team-leader of a protective service detail. This course was created using the U.S. Department of State Diplomatic Security Services model in conjunction with the vast real-world experiences of our instructors.

*PLEASE NOTE: Some High-Risk Dignitary Protection course dates are restricted to active law enforcement and military personnel only.
