  FAQ – Bodyguard and Executive Protection Services in Montreal

  Can I hire an armed bodyguard in Canada?

  In Canada, it is illegal for private bodyguards to carry firearms unless they hold a rare, special government-issued permit. In Quebec, bodyguards operate unarmed, focusing on preventive strategies, close protection, and risk mitigation. Non-compliance with firearm laws can result in heavy criminal penalties and professional sanctions under the Quebec Private Security Act.

  What’s the difference between a bodyguard and an executive protection agent?

  A bodyguard typically focuses on immediate physical protection, while an executive protection agent manages a broader security plan including advance work, surveillance detection, secure transportation, and event risk management. All our agents are trained in both roles depending on the client profile.

  Are your agents certified and licensed?

  Yes. All our protection agents hold valid BSP licenses issued by the Bureau de la Sécurité privée in Quebec, and are fully compliant with the Private Security Act (R.S.Q., chapter S-3.5).

  Are your agents trained in CPR and emergency response?

  Yes. All agents are certified in CPR/First Aid and undergo regular emergency response and tactical scenario training to maintain peak readiness.

  Do your security drivers receive special training?

  Yes. Our drivers are trained in defensive and evasive driving, secure transport planning, and high-risk maneuver protocols to protect clients during ground transportation.

  What is OSINT and HUMINT in protection?

  OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) refers to gathering publicly available information to detect threats early. HUMINT (Human Intelligence) involves discreet information collection through personal observation, interactions, or networks. Both methods strengthen proactive VIP protection strategies.

  What is covert protection?

  Covert protection involves discreet security coverage where the agent blends into the environment without revealing their presence, providing immediate intervention if a threat arises while maintaining the client’s freedom of movement.

  Do agents really wear sunglasses and earpieces like in movies?

  In real executive protection, agents may use discreet earpieces for communication, but wearing sunglasses constantly is not standard practice. Our agents prioritize professional appearance and situational adaptability based on the environment and client image requirements.

  What type of people do you recruit?

  We recruit disciplined, discreet professionals with backgrounds in law enforcement, military, security academies, and specialized protection training programs. All recruits must pass strict vetting, licensing, and operational competency tests.

  What are the most important skills for VIP protection in Canada?

  The key skills include advance reconnaissance, threat detection, defensive driving, emergency medical response, communication with PR teams, and the ability to maintain client privacy and discretion under pressure.

  Which cities do you serve in Canada?

  We provide executive protection and VIP security services in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary, Quebec City, and all major cities across Canada.

  Do you offer executive protection training?

  Yes. We offer professional executive protection training programs based on international standards through our academy. Courses include close protection, secure transport, threat assessment, and medical response.

  Can you train our in-house protection team?

  Yes. We develop custom training programs for corporate security teams, tailored to their operational environment, corporate risk profile, and public exposure needs.
