Executive Security Services International is a Canadian Personal Protection & Training Firm based just outside of Toronto. We generally use female agents when protecting female clients. Sometimes this is at the client's request.
Even when we have male individuals on the protection detail, our female agent is assigned as the team leader. This requires direct contact with the client. Often times the agent will introduce herself as an assistant to the client. This allows the agent to be physically close to the client without alerting the attacker(s). You can't get any better then that!
Female agents are also able to do a walk through the "ladies Room" before the client enters without anyone taking notice. Women in general have that "sixth sense" that a lot of men don't have. They can also defuse a lot of potential problemetic situations ** Police Women are often times utilized in these situations***
We have also seem an increase of women in our bodyguard training course.
