Personal protection agents go through much more extensive and specific training that security guards don’t normally do. The personal protection agent’s mindset and discipline is at a far higher standard as well. With security, lives are rarely at stake. With protection services, lives are ALWAYS at stake. Also, there is not a huge market for their specific skillsets, and often the jobs are temporary. Many have to find other sources of income for when they are not providing protection services. They have to find that rare employer than can allow them the flexibility of working for them as well as doing protection.
