The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
The purpose of the diploma thesis is to present the physical protection of a person at a public event and to determine the readiness of security personnel for challenges in carrying out physical protection. For the successful performance of physical protection tasks, timely recognition of potential dangers is crucial, which stems from appropriate professional training of security personnel, and this will be analysed in the present diploma thesis. The findings show that the path to becoming a bodyguard is full of challenges, acquiring and exchanging experience, and continuous progress in the security field. A bodyguard is ultimately only human, who must face the challenges of their work and the consequences of their decisions after the protection assignment is completed.
Problem
The purpose of the diploma thesis is to present the physical protection of a person at a public event and to determine the readiness of security personnel for challenges in carrying out physical protection.
Solution and Method
For the successful performance of physical protection tasks, timely recognition of potential dangers is crucial, which stems from appropriate professional training of security personnel, and this will be analysed in the present diploma thesis. Through the preparation and implementation of a person protection plan at a public event, it is described how training for carrying out physical protection tasks of persons takes place. In doing so, Slovenian legislation in the field of acquiring national vocational qualifications – bodyguard – is used.
At the same time, possible solutions are provided for upgrading training and even better professional competence of security personnel. For the successful implementation of person protection, a great many factors are important, including matters that one does not immediately think of, such as information about the manager and responsible persons in the protected area, where the lifts in the building are, emergency exits, and where we can switch off the main electrical wiring or the shut-off valve for the gas pipeline. In person protection, the personal characteristics of the protected person, habits, health condition, also allergies and personal fears are important.
Today, for acquiring this information, we can rely on advanced technology, namely hardware and software, and on artificial intelligence. In the present diploma thesis, information is therefore obtained about how or whether modern technology is included at all in security personnel training programmes.
Results
The findings show that the path to becoming a bodyguard is full of challenges, acquiring and exchanging experience, and continuous progress in the security field. A bodyguard is ultimately only human, who must face the challenges of their work and the consequences of their decisions after the protection assignment is completed.
