AMG’s Bodyguards / Close Protection Officers in Australia
AMG close protection officers work within reach of their clients. Protection starts with a thorough lifestyle risk assessment. Daily patterns are changed to avoid the client getting targeted within a set pattern. Officers are trained to detect unwanted surveillance and extractions by unknown people and have immediate training to respond. They plan every move and assess the significance of every location. They are not just guards watching over your facility. They specialise in proactive protection, ensuring a situational threat is removed even before the client has the chance to deal with it.

What OurBodyguard Security Officers Do
AMG Security provides close protection officers who offer the highest level of security protection. Close Protection Officers remain physically close to the person they are protecting at all times. Protection Officers prioritise the safety of the principal in all decision-making processes. Officers of close protection have the skills and knowledge of defensive tactics, first aid, and threat management. AMG Security chooses the calmest and most skilled individuals for this job.
Close Protection
Close Protection Officers will always remain in direct contact with the person who needs security. We maintain the quickest response to any potential physical threats.
Organised Travel
Close Protection Officers will carefully brief and organise each leg of a journey with primary and alternative routes. The timing of travel will also be adjusted regularly to avoid predictability.
Prepared Residences
Close Protection Officers will first enter the person’s residence and clear all access points and rooms before they allow the principal to enter.
Surveillance Countermeasures
Our Bodyguard Officers are trained to detect if there is hostile surveillance being conducted on the principal. If hostile surveillance is detected, counter-surveillance is quickly conducted.
Managing Medical Emergencies
All Close Protection Officers are trained in first aid and emergency trauma response. In the event of a medical incident, they act immediately while getting professional help.
Managing a Crowded Environment
Close Protection Officers expertly manage the approach of any member of the public who wishes to engage with the principal. Our guards will manage contact for any public member who approaches.

Psychological Screening Before the First Assignment
For assignment as a close protection officer, the bare minimum requirements include physical fitness and sufficient technical training. AMG Security takes it further. Due to the nature of close protection being a high-stakes and high-control environment, psychological assessments become important to the selection process. Level of endurance, emotional stability, and the ability to maintain high-performance levels over long periods of time are necessary for the selection process. Officers losing control and composure, reacting emotionally, and making irrational and irresponsible decisions during high-stakes moments is personally and organisationally damaging to the service, regardless of the officer’s physical credentials. AMG assesses temperament, emotional control, and sound judgment during the selection process. The principal’s safety is as important as the officer’s physical capability.
Understanding Behaviour To Prevent Risk
The work of a close protection officer is noticeable. It entails a lot of planning and strategy to reduce a threat that is not yet visible. AMG close protection officers incorporate behavioral analysis, including reading body language, crowd behavior, and even identifying micro-level movements of behavior that imply increased risk. An individual focused on your principal’s movements or overly agitated at the entrance to a venue is a threat that is easy for others to ignore.
Family Members May Also Be Targets
At higher threat levels, the risk doesn’t usually remain with the key person. Spouses, children, or family members may also be secondary targets and be used as a means to reach that person indirectly. When assessing and managing lifestyle threats, more exclusive and coordinated protection measures are recommended. Family members will be covered by protection measures, but will remain unaware, and the family’s daily routine will be uninterrupted. AMG’s use of Close Security is a means to control and protect private family areas from unwanted intrusion. It is also a means of protection against the threats that may be sustained beyond the principal’s occupation or vocation. Closing protection means covering all things and all people linked with the client.
Finding the Right Officer for the Right Principal
An officer protecting an executive doesn’t have the same profile as an officer protecting a public celebrity at a high-exposure event or protecting a family from elevated personal risk. AMG considers the officer’s match with the person. They consider the threat environment, the person’s lifestyle, the level of exposure, and the context of the situation. An experienced close protection officer has the training to work in a corporate setting, private residences, and public events. AMG takes the matching of the officer to the client very seriously. The best close protection is achieved not just because of the officer’s training, but also because of the careful selection of the officer for the client.
