>= =  OK, lets get re-oriented here.
>
>To summarize:
>
>1. LEO cooperation for private sector PSA's will be limited at <best>.
>2. Best sources for local information are:
>    1.  Newspaper "morgues" or on-line information brokers.
>     2. Intelligence Units at local Police or Sheriff's Departments.
>    3. For Gang Info- Local Gang unit or the Midwest Gang Investigators
>        Association- contact info will be in resources section to follow -
>    4. Local Licensed Private Investigators.
>    5. Contact local PD to hire off-duty LEO's for "pay jobs".
>3. Deviation from your route plan in an area otherwise not at risk, does 
>    NOT increase your statistical risk factor.
>4. Armed CPA is NOT always necessary or even legal in some areas.
>5. Hire local talent to provide you with backup and weapons access in
>    areas you would otherwise NOT have these. Armed backup is essential.
>6. You CANNOT stop a determined attacker through RE-ACTION, only
>    through ADVANCE ( Planning ) and ACTION ( Common Sense ).
>7. Advance work and intelligence gathering is ESSENTIAL and
>    will encompass 90% of Protective Service Activity.
>
> =   Lets discuss these next:

>>>2.  Maximize un-predictability:
>     Never take the same route twice if at all possible.  Avoid routine in 
>     travel and personal habits-- ie: don't walk down to the end of the
>    driveway at the same time in the morning and pick up the paper.
>    Switch cars often- in the case of using rental cars away from your
>    primary area of operation, switch them several times.  For example
>    I have been known to switch cars up to 3-4 times a day when 
>   conducting a surveillance-- Remember, the opposition will know these
>   things too, so look out for surveillance.
>
> +++  Awareness Homework assignment will be posted in the next message
>from me ++++... to be conducted over the rest of the week and weekend.
>
>>>3.  Ensure safety at all times for your protectee
>
>= =   From physical injury, political harm, or embarassment.  
>        Contrary to common courtesy, YOU will eat first, enter rooms ( 
especially
>hotel rooms where political opposition people have been known to hire
>hookers to wait in the room, and make sure the press conveniently follow
>right behind the protectee into the room for a good "photo opportunity")
first,
>and otherwise check out everything PRIOR to your protectee having any
>exposure. ++ At the same time, you will have to practice how NOT to fall
>victim to the "following doberman syndrome".  More on this later in the
>footwork module.
>
>>>4.  Minimize liability exposure or embarassment for your
protectee/employer
>
>= =   From falls, mouth drool, "groupies",  "set-ups", etc.  
>  A recent example of a "set-up" occured at a retirement ceremony for a
local
>retiring board of supervisors member.  Since there was absolutely NO 
>security present, a woman in a trench coat managed to get on stage with
>an envelope, and then proceeded to strip in front of news cameras.  The
>Sup member was moving on to a Washington political appointment, so
>you can BET someone will make an issue of this event when and if the
>victim seeks higher office.
>
>= =  You will learn that in PSA work you will be extremely "clumsy", to 
>avoid liability issues.  There have been many times when working a
>crowd that I have "accidentally" bumped into someone and detained them
>with profuse apologies so as to provide a crowd break for my fellow PSA's.
This
>is especially useful when there are many people present and especially
>the media.  Media LOVES to show the "300 Lb. Brute" mishandling
>and abusing fans and the crowd.  Better for you and your protectee for
>them to believe you are just clumsy.  I am 6'5" and 300 Lbs. so I am
>at a Distinct < DISADVANTAGE>  when it comes to crowd issues and
>use of force issues ( I'm always perceived as the aggressor )..
>
>Like I said early-on, my most effective agent is a women, 5' 2" tall.
