Bodyguards or bodyguarding is no longer the privilege and domain of governments and the wealthy. Bodyguards are also known as close protection, executive protection, VIP protection or personal security details (PSD). The need for professional bodyguarding and security services are becoming common at every level of the social and business strata.

Crime, terrorism and business continue to expand on global level. Business executives, tourists, travelers, journalists, diplomats, engineers, geologists, court witnesses, government officials, celebrities, sports personalities and high-net-worth individuals are all increasingly becoming the target of physical and financial threats and risks. Its hard to identify anywhere in the world that can be truly classified as "safe". Terrorism and violent crime are on the increase, with political and religious unrest now commonplace.

DeltaOne International is headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa - a country renowned for its high levels of violent crime. South Africa has an annual murder rate close to that of a country at war - Iraq.

• South Africa (Homicide 2006) - 18 793

• Iraq (body count 2006) - 20 734

A typical day in South Africa will contain 51 murders, 152 rapes, 7 kidnaps, 40 carjackings and 431 aggravated assaults.

DeltaOne International is leading the way in the provision of discreet executive protection and security consulting. Our bespoke services are designed to safeguard you, your family and your assets at home, on vacation or whilst travelling overseas on business.

With cost effective personal protection and itinerary and logistical facilitation in place, DeltaOne International will establish and maintain a safe environment in which you, the principal, can live and work free from the fear of crime and other threats. We promote client confidence by managing and minimizing the risk and threat exposure. Whilst under the protection of DeltaOne's highly trained professionals (bodyguards), we have shown that terrorist and criminal elements are greatly discouraged from hostile intent towards an individual or their family and potential assailants will search for a much "softer target".

We hesitate to mention and would like to distance ourselves from the word commonly used to describe this industry - bodyguard or BG, because of the associations it carries. Hollywood films depict bodyguards as slick haired, wheel-spinning, gun-blasting hot dogs. DeltaOne is one of the few companies that do not carry this label. Our memberships to the following professional security, law enforcement (police) and intelligence bodies are indicative of our professionalism by association.

• ASIS International

• HPCSA - Health Professions Council of South Africa

• ASLET - American Society of Law Enforcement Trainers

• IACSP - International Association of Counterterrorism and Security Professionals

• PSIRA - Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority

• IALEFI - International Association of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors

DeltaOne International operatives are medically trained as close protection medical assistants; with the option of having a specialist paramedic attached to the protection team. Medical skills have a particular relevance in South Africa and other high-risk remote environments, where formal pre-hospital assistance and/or medical facilities are limited or non-existent. For this reason, we oftentimes include Advanced Life Support (ALS) close protection paramedics and doctors on our teams. 

DeltaOne Paramedics:

• Registered as Advanced Life Support (ALS) Paramedics with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA).

• Accumulated hundreds of hours of practical pre-hospital medical and trauma care.

• Certified as Flight Paramedics

• Fulfill the dual function of close protection operative as well as paramedic.

DeltaOne International has offered our close protection training program to governments, corporations and individuals from around the globe. South Africa is the ideal training environment for a number of reasons:

• Worlds highest violent crime statistics – provides for realistic training

• Combination of 1st and 3rd World environments providing exposure to both environments

• High rate of trauma (gunshot, knife) – provides realistic medical training

• Conduct training in high risk environment

• Combat and operationally experienced instructors
