You are an Executive Protection Officer. You provide professional protection and physical security to your Principal. As an executive protection officer, you provide a high quality service with expertise and accuracy, and you are always ready to train and improve your skills by challenging any conventional methods. You perform your duties with determination and professionalism, whether on national and international soil, always in accordance and harmony with the law. You conduct your duties according to the highest standards of integrity, morality, honor and loyalty. You carry out your assignments of protection regardless of nationality, religion or race, respecting your colleague officers with strict solidarity. Your colleague officers are your brothers- in- arms; discipline and comradeship are your strength; courage and loyalty are your virtues. Your assignment to protect your principal is sacred. You will carry it out until the end, at all costs and at the risk of your life. In the line of duty, you will act without passion and without hate. You will respect the defeated, never abandon your dead or wounded and never leave your post. You will get your inspiration and commitment to excellence from our motto: SEMPER PROTECTAMUS Semper Paratus - Nec Aspera Terrent
To all those brave women and men, Security Guards, Dignitary and Executive Protection Officers, Law and Security Enforcement Personnel, who risk and lose their lives to protect others.

Fear not your enemies, for they can only kill you; fear not your friends, for they can only betray you. Fear only the indifferent, who permit the killers and betrayers to walk safely on the earth. Edward Yashinsky

The best victory is when the opponent surrenders by his own terms before there are any hostilities. It is best to win without fighting. Sun Tzu (722-481 BC)
Assassination of US President William McKinley (September 6, 1901)
He will win, who knows when to fight and when not to fight. He will win, who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces. He will win, when the same spirit through all ranks motivates the entire army. He will win who prepared himself and waits to take the enemy unprepared. He will win, who has military capacity and the sovereign is not interfering with. Sun Tzu (722-481 BC)

Move not unless you see an advantage. Do not use your troops unless there is something to gain. Do not fight unless the position is critical. If it is to your advantage make a forward move - otherwise, stay where you are. Anger may change in time to gladness - content will overcome vexation. Sun Tzu (722-481 BC)
Assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King (April 4, 1968)
Whoever is first in the field and awaits the arrival of the enemy will be fresh for the fight. Whoever arrives late and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted. Sun Tzu (722-481 BC)
