Quality Faculty
Dr. Kobetz and his associates are the leaders in the development and presentation of the concept of PERSONAL PROTECTION SPECIALISTS as an emerging new career field. All faculty members are acknowledged authorities in their subject specialties and continue to be practitioners with vast personal experience in providing protective services. They have collectively written the major contributions to the literature currently available in personal protection and are regarded as the most respected trainers in the field.
GOVERNMENT/MILITARY TRAINING
Over the decades we have trained thousands of men and women who have protected world leaders, celebrities, executives, royalty, religious leaders and politicians. For several years we had reserved seats in every class for army and marine protective personnel and in the first Gulf War we trained military personnel who protected the top military commanders. Dozens of our graduates are currently protecting civilians, officials and military commanders in Afghanistan, Iraq and other international “hot spots.”
Recently we were honored to provide training for U. S. Marines to be deployed to Iraq for top protective missions. We conducted our personal protection program combined with high-risk threat-level training involving shooting while on foot and in proper motor movements; motorcade and ambush drills; convoy and evasive driving scenarios; counter-surveillance and team protective formations. They received the very best training available from experienced top-level instructors to prepare them for defending themselves and their protectees.
