The Close Protection Specialist
Mantos International Inc. employs only the finest and highly
qualified individuals anywhere. We recruit people from all backgrounds and
experiences. We have male and female specialists. We have people who
can speak a variety of languages, from English to French to Spanish to a
number of dialects.
Our "Platinum Team" is composed of operatives with at least 20 years of
experience in providing protective services.
Our protection operatives are trained, experienced and capable of working
in any setting, be it for the Wall Street Financial VIPs to the Palm Beach
gathering of who's who. They will dress to blend with your setting, whether
for the Black Tie Gala to the Palm Beach Casual affair to the Fortune 500
corporate environment. They are trained to be as low or high profile as the
situation requires.
Our operatives have protected corporate executives, state and federal officials,
foreign dignitaries, royalty, as well as entertainment stars. We have provided
protection for some of the largest financial institutions in the world. We
are high threat level specialists.
Our operatives are physically fit as they must endure 12-20 hour days on
their feet in all climates. They must be mentally fit to focus and continuously
process their observations and respond to any given situation at any moment.
Confidentiality - Discretion -
Unobtrusive
Our operatives understand the need for absolute confidentiality. Our clients
demand nothing less. We know how to be discrete and unobtrusive in any given
situation.
There are two basic qualities, however that we expect in our personnel over
all else. They are instinct and intelligence.
Instinct
Having a background in law enforcement, the military or government services
does not in of itself make for a
good
protection specialist. What exactly was that prior experience? In reality
only a handful in the military or law enforcement are trained in protection
services. Only in large metropolitan areas are special details specifically
trained to protect the mayor or visiting dignitaries.
One must also understand that the instincts that are required to be an effective
protection specialists are not at all the same as those needed in those
experiences.
For example the law enforcement officer is trained to instinctively go after
and catch the bad guy. That is not at all the work of a protection specialist,
in fact it is just the opposite. The protection detail's primary concern
is to keep the principal safe and alive, not fight or apprehend anyone.
Intelligence
It takes intelligence to research, prepare, and plan for all foreseeable
contingencies. This is even more so true for those who come to us with Secret
Service experience, as most private protection details are not afforded near
the unlimited resources of those given to those who once protected the president
of the United States. So we must work smarter.
