What is a 'bodyguard for hire' through MPS?

MPS Security & Protection bodyguards are licensed close-protection professionals available for short-term and long-term assignments. Bodyguards are vetted, trained in defensive tactics, threat recognition, and de-escalation, and dispatched with full operational and reporting support.

When should I hire a bodyguard from MPS?

Common reasons clients hire MPS bodyguards include receiving threats, going through a contentious legal matter or termination, attending a high-profile event, traveling with cash or valuables, public appearances, executive functions, and personal safety in unfamiliar cities.

Are MPS bodyguards armed?

MPS bodyguards can be deployed armed or unarmed based on the assignment, venue rules, and your preference. All armed bodyguards hold current state firearms permits and complete recurring use-of-force, defensive tactics, and de-escalation training.

How quickly can MPS provide a bodyguard?

Most MPS bodyguard engagements can be staffed within 24-48 hours, and emergency requests can often be filled the same day. Pricing depends on hours, number of agents, vehicles, travel, and whether armed coverage is required.

How do I request a bodyguard from MPS?

Call MPS Security & Protection or submit a contact form with the dates, locations, and a brief summary of the threat or purpose. A senior protection specialist will respond, scope the assignment, and assign the right agent or team.

6 Reasons To Hire A Personal Bodyguard

Protection

A personal bodyguard provides paramount, active protection. Their vigilance deters threats and allows for immediate intervention if necessary.

Bodyguard duties include:

Physical security measures: Barricades, access control, and barriers to safeguard clients.
Surveillance: Round-the-clock monitoring and risk assessment.
Evacuation planning: Strategic development and rehearsal of escape protocols.
Close protection: Maintaining close proximity, ready to act on threats instantly.
Emergency response: Swift, highly-trained action under pressure.

Security

Perform detailed background investigations on those inside and outside your circle-scrutinizing legal, financial, and behavioral risks to reinforce your safety posture.

Professionalism

With cross-disciplinary training, professional bodyguards offer reliability, calm under fire, and trustworthy discretion at all times.

Confidence

Competence breeds confidence in high-risk environments-a disciplined bodyguard brings control and empowers your own peace of mind.

Discretion

Preserving your privacy, reputation, and day-to-day normalcy with a low-profile yet vigilant approach is a core value of professional security service.

Personal assistance
