THE PURPOSE OF THE BOOK IS TO ENABLE SECURITY MANAGERS TO ASSESS THREATS TO THE EXECUTIVES OF THEIR CORPORATIONS, TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT APPROPRIATE PROTECTION SYSTEMS, TO TRAIN BOTH SECURITY OFFICERS AND EXECUTIVES IN SECURITY MEASURES, AND TO INFLUENCE CORPORATE POLICY REGARDING EXECUTIVE PROTECTION. OPENING CHAPTERS EXAMINE THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF THE TERRORIST THREAT TO BUSINESS EXECUTIVES, INCLUDING THE TECHNIQUES COMMONLY USED BY TERRORISTS. GENERAL FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED IN DESIGNING AN EXECUTIVE PROTECTION PROGRAM ARE REVIEWED. SUBSEQUENT CHAPTERS DEAL SPECIFICALLY WITH (1) ADMINISTRATIVE AND ORGANIZATIONAL POLICY (THE SIZE AND ORGANIZATION OF THE CORPORATE SECURITY DIVISION, DECISIONS REGARDING WHETHER TO PROVIDE PROTECTION AT ALL, WHICH EXECUTIVES TO PROTECT, AND HOW MUCH PROTECTION TO PROVIDE); (2) OPERATIONAL POLICY (USE OF FORCE, RELATIONSHIP WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, INVESTIGATIONS AND INTELLIGENCE, HOSTAGE POLICY, CRISIS PLAN); AND (3) STRATEGIES FOR PROTECTING EXECUTIVES IN THEIR HOMES, AT WORK, AND IN TRANSIT. ALSO INCLUDED ARE GUIDELINES FOR INDOCTRINATING CORPORATE PERSONNEL IN SECURITY PROCEDURES AND FOR CONDUCTING SECURITY SURVEYS. A BIBLIOGRAPHY, TABLES, AND DIAGRAMS ARE PROVIDED. (LKM)
