Bodyguards work either alone or as part of a security team, and are trained to jump to action and defend their clients in any situation where there is a threat of harassment or attack. They protect public officials, wealthy people, and celebrities from kidnapping, assassination, harassment, theft, assault, loss of confidential information, threats, and other criminal offences. Bodyguards are trained to react quickly in emergency situations and are able to make immediate decisions and changes on the fly. They stay close to their clients at all times, keep an eye on their surroundings, and keep strangers at a safe distance.
