Solutions Group International (SGI) is proud to team with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department to deliver our High-Risk Dignitary Protection Course in San Bernardino, California at their state-of-the-art training facility.

This is a very ambitious and comprehensive course delivered in our new and extended 5-day (50) hour format. SGI instructors developed the curriculum for this course which was later approved by the U.S. Department of State for the training of personnel performing on a domestic government contract providing armed protective services.

Our course focuses on Diplomatic Security and Executive Protection in-country and abroad and is designed to prepare operators for placement on a Protective Service Detail.

Our primary objective is to teach students the requisite skills they will need to provide armed protective services in high-threat environments. Training at this level enables the operator to ramp up or scale down their overall security profile based on evolving threats.

Tactics and techniques taught during this course are combined with realistic training scenarios to test the operator as an individual, a team-member, and as a team-leader of a protective detail.

This course was created using the U.S. Department of State Diplomatic Security Services model in conjunction with the vast real-world experiences of our instructors.

  • Organization of a Protective Detail
