Upon receiving notification from the client, supervisor, or designated company representative, the security officer must be able to deploy and arrive at the designated meeting location within ninety (90) minutes of the initial call or message. Officers are expected to remain reasonably available during their assigned on-call periods and must ensure they have reliable communication methods, transportation, and necessary equipment readily accessible in order to meet this response requirement.

Upon arrival, the officer will meet with the client or authorized representative to assess the situation and determine the appropriate level of executive protection support required. Duties may include conducting a preliminary risk assessment, coordinating protective coverage, providing personal escort services, assisting with secure transportation arrangements, and implementing immediate protective measures to ensure the safety and security of the client. Officers must maintain a professional appearance, follow established company procedures, and adhere to all applicable laws, regulations, and operational protocols while performing these duties.

Failure to maintain the required response capability or to meet the established 90-minute response time without a valid and documented reason may be subject to review and corrective action in accordance with company policy. This requirement ensures that qualified personnel can be mobilized quickly to address time-sensitive security needs and provide effective executive protection services when requested.
