Book Description
An Introduction to Executive Protection provides beginners in the occupation of executive protection with the tools they need to know and appreciate the profession; to enable them to realize what is expected when they are placed in positions of confidence and trust; and to understand the implications of being responsible for the safety and lives of others. This guide emphasizes the basic elements of executive protection which are often neglected or overlooked in practical application, even by professional schools of executive protection instruction which sometimes mistakenly assume all enrollees are practiced journeymen. In addition to practical and technical considerations of the profession, "executive protection" means working with people on a personal level. The author draws on his extensive and varied experience in the field to share events that inform and enlighten students of executive protection and teach them how to best avoid endangering those they protect.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent book on executive protection.......2007-07-16
As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I highly recommend this book from distinguished former agent Dale June. It is well written and very informative. Simply put, you cannot go wrong in purchasing this volume. I was a little disappointed with the 11/22/63 "whitewash", but that was to be expected, quite frankly (what is Mr. June going to say : "My colleagues screwed up in Dallas?"). Get this!
A must read for protection specialists.......2006-10-20
This book is the quintessential guide for the executive and personal protection professional. Newcomers to the field as well as veterans will find the book very readable and thorough in its coverage of all aspects of executive and personal protection. While providing a solid overview of the basics of the profession, the book also covers some advanced topics such as motorcade tactics, advances, and working the principal in different scenarios. The only drawback to this text is that it is over-priced. Nevertheless, I highly recommend it for anyone considering entering the field of personal protection or already working in it.
Excellent Reading.......2005-11-08
To Those Interested:
Having had the opportunity to read Introduction to Executive Protection by Dale June, I can state the following.
This book is well thought out and well written. The author does an exemplary job of combining the basics of executive protection along with personal insight. And though not technical in nature, which is not its intended purpose according to its title, it provides a clear and uncluttered look at the responsibilities of an executive protection agent.
It's an excellent starting point for anyone interested in exploring a career in executive protection, especially those who do not have any formal government training.
I believe this book accomplishes its intended purpose with distinction.

Strong Introduction to Loss Prevention.......2001-08-05
The book is well organized, and covers a wide breadth. I recommend this for anyone wanting a thorough overview. It is a textbook, so it is more academic than hands-on. It is also a great source of references for a wide variety of organizations and standards.
The best information source for newcomers in Loss Prevention.......2000-05-24
Because of this book I was able to jump into Loss Prevention after Leaving my job as a Deputy Sheriff and I Doubled my yearly income. I just followed the the outline layed out in every chapter on conducting Security assesments and evaluations and then made recomendations. The customers keep referring other customers. I have plenty of work.
Good Resource of all Supervisors Contract/Private.......1999-04-11
Here is a book that is a must for all security supervisors in the contract and private sector in security. We all have to start with the basics when training new security supervisors and officers. Here is a book that can aid greatly to the end result that we in the industry are striving for well trained and knowledgable Security Supervisors and officers. All chapters of this book can be set to lesson plan for classroom study or chapters can be assigned to all and have them answer the questions at the end of each chapters. Teaching how and when a security survey should be conducted and explaining to the client the findings and the recommendations that were found during the survey. If you have the book keep it if you do not get a copy ASAP it will only make that much prepared for the changes in the industry that will taking place today into the next century and beyond. Good Luck. Dennis Medick

Excellent Introductory guide.......1997-06-02
Mr. Siljander's well written primer on loss control
and business security combines just the right mix
of insurance and non-insurance methods of dealing
with risk for today's businesses.
The concepts presented are done so in a manner which
enables non-insurance professionals to easily grasp
the concepts of loss control and insurance.
You will be hard pressed to find another book in this field which combines
the author's police and insurance/loss control experience.
