Usually, an important figure’s family is as much at risk as the individual themselves. It does not matter that their family members have no connection to their role or business – kidnappers looking to score a ransom or access to company information are not deterred by this.

The NDP for your country is automatically included as evidence in your refugee claim. You do not need to send documents included in the NDP to the IRB-RPD. The Member will use the NDP to help decide your claim.

You can submit evidence that shows the conditions in your country and how they relate to your claim. This includes reliable reports about political, social, cultural, economic, and human rights conditions in your country.

If you have a witness, give the following information in writing to the IRB-RPD, at least ten days before your hearing date:

And it’s not only about preventing physical harm to the client. Disgruntled employees could disagree with the CEO’s policies, or the competition could try and steal company secrets – both scenarios carry risks for the CEO, other relevant executives and their families.

This is precisely why an ever-increasing number of companies is becoming interested in executive protection programs. EP professionals help them plan for various risk scenarios, anticipate and plan for danger, whether involving the day-to-da operations in their headquarters, during the CEO’s business trips, or even in their personal homes.

You must send all evidence to the IRB-RPD at least ten days before your refugee hearing. If you have a legal representative, they can send your evidence for you.

The IRB-RPD keeps public documents about conditions in countries around the world in National Documentation Packages (NDPs).

Alternatively, due to internal political turmoil, the security situation in a country can change overnight. A place thought of as safe one day, can become extremely dangerous the next.

It is important to gather and send evidence about your refugee claim to the IRB-RPD. Evidence includes any information that shows you are telling the truth about who you are, what already happened to you, and what you are afraid would happen to you if you return to your country. It can be documents, letters, newspaper articles, medical or psychological reports, photographs, audio recordings, or even videos.

We learned that executive protection is a special type of security service – it can be either overt, covert, or something in between, depending on the circumstances. Its objective is to prevent harm or loss to the client from threats in the physical or online environment.

For instance, certain CEOs or other high-ranking executives achieve notoriety – or even fame due to their coverage in the media. However, their roles within their organizations usually make them essential to their company’s well-being. If something bad happens to them, it would negatively affect the whole company and all its employees.

Almost any time that a celebrity of foreign dignitary appears in public, there is a certain potential of threat. Imagine a movie star making a speech during a press conference or a foreign diplomat attending a cultural event or an executive at a conference. There are ideal scenarios for people looking to do them harm.

This includes a wide array of techniques and practices – such as advance work, operational intelligence, in-depth observation, threat information, etc. The ultimate goal of executive protection companies is to prevent any type of incident from happening. Risk assessments and planning significantly lower the risk of danger, with minimal intrusions and interruptions to the daily goings-on of the client.

Teams of highly trained professionals take all of these factors into account – they plan and cover every possible scenario that could jeopardize their clients.

Evidence helps the Member believe what happened to you, and understand the situation in your country and why you cannot return.

All evidence, including sound recordings, must be in English or French. Do not use Google Translate or translate documents yourself. A professional translator is best. If you have a legal aid lawyer, the cost of translation may be partly or fully covered by legal aid. If you cannot pay for one, you can have someone you trust who is fluent in your language and either English or French translate your documents.

Your translator must sign a declaration that you have to send to the IRB-RPD along with the document that has been translated. The declaration must have:

Security is always a concern while travelling, and this is even truer when a CEO is visiting an emerging market. With the support of executive protection risk is lower, allowing for more and safer trips. And, whether at home or travelling, clients who benefit from executive protection also enjoy increased productivity.

You can have witnesses at your hearing to speak about your claim. A witness is a person who has important information about you and your claim. During your hearing, witnesses will answer questions from both your lawyer and from the Member. Witnesses cannot listen to what you say at the hearing and you cannot talk to them during breaks. Sometimes the Member may not need to ask your witnesses to speak.

[…] The real art of executive protection is not to react but prevent. Of course, every executive protection team needs to be able to react if something happens, but the goal is to assess the risks correctly and do the right preplanning in order to avoid conflicts. […]

EP professionals go to great lengths to ensure that a client is safe. They provide protection services, but they also conduct all the advance work, surveillance, logistics, and driver duties if needed. Because of the specific and complex skills that you need to be an executive protection agent, most professionals have prior military – typically elite, or law enforcement training, as well as real-world experience in combating physical and other kinds of threats.

This makes the protection of the client’s family a very high priority. Teams of experts are specially trained to make sure that they do their job as discretely as possible, without interrupting their every-day rhythm, while providing protection from every possible threat.

We can try to generalize and say that executive protection is needed by high-profile individuals. This includes people from the entertainment business, but also industry leaders or other individuals with access to trade secrets, as well as government officials.

Getting evidence takes time, especially if you are trying to get it from another country. Start gathering evidence as soon as you can. If you have a legal representative, ask them what evidence may help, tell them what you have, and ask them to look at it. Act quickly.

Simply put, executive protection focusses on maximizing security while minimizing inconvenience to individuals and businesses.

With that in mind, the protection of computers, data and other important equipment is a vital aspect of executive protection services. These usually include the provision of physical monitoring of the client’s devices – computers, mobile phones or tablets.

Finally, EP means that the client can finally have some peace of mind. Individuals in positions of power can especially appreciate being at ease, knowing that someone has their back in every sense.

As we said, EP goes beyond securing one just individual. Even though, individual protection is its main intention and purpose behind executive protection, the process extends to the protection of information and the client’s family as well.

You may not be able to get all the evidence you want from your home country because it is not safe to do so, or because it is too difficult to obtain. Try your best to get evidence, and if you can’t get a piece of evidence, explain in writing to the IRB why you couldn’t get it. Include copies of emails, letters, or courier slips that show how you tried to get the evidence.

Certainly not all situations necessitate executive protection. Not every celebrity of or CEO needs EP professionals around them 24/7.

A crazy fan, an angry protester or a mad ex-employee – or even a potential kidnapper, could be lurking among the crowd. This makes public appearances situations where protection is always needed.

Often called the best and the worst job in the world, executive protection encompasses a wide variety of security measures and techniques aimed at ensuring the safety of very important persons – VIPs. It is its own specialized field within the private security industry.

While the bodyguard’s role is to generally provide protection from physical harm – hence the name, executive protection firms aim at a more holistic approach. They aim to provide a full and complete security service.

Because of their role, CEOs especially attractive targets. Their expertise and function place them at the very top of their organizations. And the CEO’s access to privileged information is the basis of their attraction to competitors who would not think twice about using nefarious methods to obtain that information.

Traveling abroad could be quite risky for a company CEO or some other executive, especially when travelling to countries with elevated levels of danger. In these situations, the threat of kidnapping or corporate information theft is very realistic.

For most people unfamiliar with the security sector, the protection of VIPs simply means bodyguards for rich people. Movies like Taken or The Hitman’s Bodyguard – awesome though they are, have shaped popular opinion, so we instantly associate executive protection with celebrities needing protection from overly zealous fans.

Be aware! Some of the documents in the NDP may be old. Conditions in your country may have changed or what you experienced may not be in the NDP. Talk to your legal representative to see what new information might help your claim.
