CPO HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT HPK

As Close Protection Officers, we tend to move about a lot, many of us work all across the world.

Most of the time, we are not so lucky to be called upon in the Seychelles or the Bahamas, and a lot of the time the principal won't want protection in these beautiful places.

We are mostly needed in some of the world's worse places, sh**holes would be a good word to describe them.

Traveling alone in preparation for the principal's arrival also makes the CPO a potential target to local criminals or terrorists groups.

Hotels need to be chosen carefully but sometimes there just isn't the right hotel and you end up in a hotel where security is lacking.

Here is an example of what could happen:

I have designed a CP Hostile Environment Hotel Protection Kit which will delay an attack and give you time to escape should someone want to enter your hotel room.


1/ Master Lock Dual Function Security Bar

This bar fits nicely in your luggage, it is cheap and easy to carry.
It is very easy to fit behind the door and this bar would delay criminals and terrorists wanting to bring your hotel door down

2/Lifelock
It is light, can be carried everywhere in your luggage, easy to fit onto the door.

If you want something noisy that attract attention you can go for a door wedge alarm:

Or a door knob alarm

If your room is the end one, nobody will need to pass beyond a certain point.
Putting a simple device such as a wireless motion sensor will let you know someone is approaching your room before they even touch the door.
