Who do we Recruit:

Irrespective of the many niche areas of security, close protection operatives (CPO’s), or bodyguards, can commonly be defined by the single most important requirement for individual or asset protection in a dangerous environment. It is expected of them in their professional capacity; to provide physical protection to a principal, shielding them from any potential harm and to quickly get them to safety. 

Norsk Tactical always choose the best possible contractors to deploy no matter where. We therefore select some of the best personnel in the industry from; former and present operatives and instructors including members of The 22nd Special Air Service Regiment (22 SAS), UKSF such as The Royal Marine Commandos, British Military Firearms Instructors and (CBRN) Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Instructors. Civilians with expert knowledge of VIP and celebrity protection, MI5 former surveillance experts.

Information: 

If the Close Protection assignment is within a hostile environment such as Iraq, Afghanistan, or Syria, then the Close protection operatives deployed in hostile regions in a PSD (Personal Security Detail) role, should have a military or armed police background with extensive relevant training and hostile military deployment experience. 

Despite previous backgrounds all operatives must have undertaken and passed the Home Office – Security Industry Authorities (SIA) basic course in close protection, followed by continued CPD both Medical and job related.
