Living Armor was created to provide the best specialists available and perpetually evolve to the needs of our clients. Similar to the Secret Service, we utilize intelligence gathering, planning and effective risk management combined with superior operational capacity to help prevent issues before they begin.
Our agents are all specifically trained by trusted institutes and affiliates. Most have military background, some with experience in Special Operations. In addition, our team continues training frequently and many earn valuable certifications in related fields. Some of these include EMT, First Aid/CPR (required), AED (required), Firearms Instructor and Disaster Management. We have training and experience operating in business, residential, maritime, industrial and military environments around the world.
We will not fill shifts with untrained personnel or unlicensed contractors. We do not exaggerate threat levels in order to prolong contracts, or beat out competition by underbidding. These practices are dishonest to clients and potentially dangerous. If an experience with such a company has left you dissatisfied with protective or investigative services in any way, we ask that you give us a try. Living Armor works tirelessly to raise the bar and ensure we deserve the trust of our clients, and the respect of our industry.
We know some circumstances can be difficult and our agents operate with absolute discretion on your behalf.

Your safety is our mission.

Professionalism
The right license for the job; Protection agents should be licensed as private investigators. An investigator license permits a more extensive array of activities than a security license does. A security license does not authorize plainclothes work or intelligence gathering activities.
Some companies operate with few or no employees and will use subcontractors who may not be licensed or insured at all. You may request to see the license of any agent at any time and can also verify agencies and license holders on the DOL website.
Most state licensing requirements are minimal, leaving it up to the employer to fully train and verify competence. Unfortunately most don't. The "OJT method" saves time, money and speeds up the rate at which experience is gained. However, incidents can often be caused or aggravated by the presence of poorly trained personnel, making their "learning experience" mistakes on your time and property. This lack of professionalism negatively impacts the safety and image of your business. Higher trained people may bill for a few dollars extra, but could ultimately save you much more.
Executive protection agents, investigators and security personnel should be trained to a high degree of professionalism. This includes dress, demeanor, etiquette and discretion. A professional takes advantage of training whenever possible and always seeks to continue improving and evolving. This is for the benefit of all. A professional demeanor generally receives respect, rather than aggression or mockery, and contributes to the safety of the environment. Living Armor requires such training and our agents exceed these standards.

"The excuse that people will become more fearful if they see armed security or police in places like shopping malls, amusement parks and museums is not giving them enough credit for knowing that these measures are for their own protection. In fact, people are so aware of what proper security measures are that they tend to mock or laugh at security methods that do not go far enough, such as using unarmed, uniformed security personnel who try to look like the police and carry around radios and big flashlights, or employing young college students at public events to search purses of people entering a facility, but not checking backpacks or people wearing large coats.
When the topic of arming security personnel is discussed, the cries of liability are almost always heard, when in fact what this can be translated to is complaints about the costs of managing, training and equipping a professional, private security force. So security often remains at a status-quo stand-still: putting up cameras and hiring under-trained, under-equipped and under-paid guards - none of which will deter or stop a violent attack.
However, lawsuits for security negligence, failure to protect, and failure to provide adequate security are now filed and won all the time, with awards in the millions of dollars. The standard of due diligence is being changed because our society is changing. Businesses cannot hide behind excuses or blame law enforcement anymore. The courts are sending a message to take measures that are reasonable and prudent in today's world."
