The images of bodyguards have changed significantly through time. Huge intimidating men in black attire or suits were the best description or representation of a bodyguard until ladies came on the scene. Now If a beautiful lady is spotted with a celebrity or VIP it may not be a PA or secretary, but could be a close protection officer.
The stereotypical role of a female e.g picking up children from school, cooking etc has adapted to roles of men in every field, even to high profile protection which was once deemed only for the strong built elite man.
Demand of female bodyguards is increased because they don’t look more threatening and are comfortable to be with.
Australian Prime Minister David Cameron and Kate Middleton are among the latest to be spotted with female Close Protection Officers. Many other celebrities are in the list who have female protection officers.
At close Unit protection, we recognize the need and demand for female CPO. We have an Elite team of female CPO’s that are trained to the highest standard and are available upon request. Please email for mail@closeunitprotection.com for more info.
