Brief introduction of bodyguard occupation

Maybe many people have seen a classic bodyguard action movie-Zhongnanhai bodyguard. In the film, Xu Zhengyang, the secret service security guard played by Kung Fu superstar Jet Li, is stunted, resolute and meticulous, leaving a deep impression on people. Especially in the action drama of fierce fighting with opponents, Xu Zhengyang's graceful, precise and intense movements make the audience pleasing to the eye and amazing.

So what special security personnel are there in reality? Are they really as brave as Xu Zhengyang in the film? Are their "risk factors" greater than those of other high-risk occupations? When opponents shoot at protected objects, can they really stand up like Xu Zhengyang to block deadly bullets for employers? At this time, how to ensure your own life safety?

First, the source of "special protection"

After the rigid economic system was broken, China began the great transformation of "building socialism with China characteristics". In the process of liberating and developing the productive forces, some people get rich first, and then there is class division in the society. A few high-end figures with wealth, social fame and popularity, such as industrial tycoons, business tycoons, movie stars and other public figures, have become the targets of criminals coveting wealth and infringing on life safety. These high-end people have a higher level of security needs than ordinary people, so there is a special security personnel who need to provide special security services for the relevant people-special security companies.

It is understood that in developed countries, it is not only politicians who are worried about being assassinated or kidnapped, but even the richest people, scholars and popular art stars are obsessed with their own safety. Hiring bodyguards has become a routine.

Experts' survey results show that the stage of social development to the per capita GDP of 2600 US dollars is a period when the wealth distribution gap is gradually increasing and social unrest factors are increasing, and China is in such a period. With the economic growth and the prosperity of literature, art and sports, a large number of wealthy classes and celebrities have grown in business, art and sports. In recent years, cases against these people have occurred from time to time, and the safety of this group itself and its families has become more and more prominent. According to the statistics of the public security department, financial infringement cases account for 89% of criminal cases, and the frequency of violent incidents such as kidnapping, extortion, extortion and robbery against the rich and celebrities is increasing. Then, the mission of special insurance companies is to provide reliable protection for the safety of these special people.

Second, the "special" of special protection

What is the work content of special protection? What advantages do they have compared with ordinary national defense personnel? Is the special safeguard image on the screen consistent with the real special safeguard image? In order to get these answers, the reporter interviewed Mr. Chen Yongqing, the chairman of Beijing Tianjiao Special Safety Consultant Co., Ltd., who enjoys a high reputation in the industry. Layer by layer unveiled the mystery of "special protection", a career full of danger and charm in the eyes of ordinary people.

In his early years, Mr. Chen Yongqing was transferred from the Army Special Forces and graduated from the Institute of International Relations of the People's Liberation Army of China with a bachelor's degree in law. Later, he was assigned to perform the training task of the Central Security Bureau for a long time and served as a guard for the leaders of the party, the state and the army during their visits. After leaving the army, he successfully founded Tianjiao Tewei Consultant Co., Ltd. with his legal expertise and years of experience in special health care.

Mr. Chen told reporters that the most important job of specialized insurance companies is recruitment and training. Well-known companies like Tianjiao Tebao interview about 1000 people every year, most of whom are retired personnel from special forces. After the first screening of this 1000 people by the HR manager, 50 to 60 people will eventually enter the second round of interview and assessment. This round of interviews will be personally checked by the chairman, and finally five or six people will stay. "In this case, our employment ratio may be the lowest among all industries, with five or six thousandths." Mr Chen said with a smile.

According to the reporter's common sense, special forces and special police officers are already special talents who are one in a hundred and one in a thousand. If they are "one in a thousand", what kind of "elite soldiers and strong generals" will they leave behind?

Mr. Chen told reporters that the special security personnel of companies that provide security services for high-end people and important activities, such as Tianjiao Special Security, are outstanding personnel retired from special forces and graduated from the Special Police Academy and the Wushu Academy. They have good political and ideological qualities. Party member, I and my family have no criminal record, and have won the third-class merit in the army at least once, and achieved excellent results in school. The age is 22-28 years old, the height of male special protection is1.78m, and the height of female special protection is1.66m.. Due to the needs of work, the face is generally an ordinary face with no obvious characteristics. The above are the basic requirements for those who join Tianjiao Special Security Team.

Third, prevention and crackdown.

After Mr. Chen's introduction, the image of Tebao is getting closer and closer to the image of Xu Zhengyang, the "Zhongnanhai bodyguard" in the eyes of reporters. So I couldn't help but blurt out: "It seems that the special security personnel are completely the prototype of Xu Zhengyang in real life!" Mr. Chen put away his casual conversation and asked the reporter seriously, "Do you think I have Jet Li's handsome face? If you can clearly remember my appearance tomorrow, it means that my special guarantee is unqualified, and I am not allowed to carry a gun at any time, let alone use a gun. "

It turns out that due to the particularity of the work content, special security personnel are generally required to be public faces with no obvious characteristics. In addition, the "guarantee" of special protection is essentially only an act of self-defense. As the saying goes, "medical prevention of diseases", the duty of special security personnel is to find and resolve threats, not to destroy each other. There are similarities and differences between Xu Zhengyang in the film and the intensive care in reality. The same place is that the professionalism of intensive care is indeed as shown in the film. The difference is that Xu Zhengyang in the film is a policeman who personally guards the parties, so he is allowed to hold a gun. But in reality, secret service personnel are absolutely not allowed to carry any offensive weapons, and it is illegal to carry firearms.

The job of special protection is to "protect", not "attack", but to protect the parties and resolve the threat in the bud. Therefore, in the training, it is necessary to carry out skills transformation training for secret service support personnel from special police and special forces. It is necessary to transform the offensive skills of offense into the capture skills of defense. Therefore, in the actual execution of the task, there are actually few fierce fighting scenes like those in the movie. Secret service security personnel often use the control of "four or two" to virtually resolve threats from the outside world. If there is a scene of fighting in the execution of the task, it is already a major dereliction of duty.

At a dinner for entrepreneurs in the financial sector, Tianjiao Special Protection Consulting Company was entrusted by the organizer to carry out the protection task. At that time, there were not only famous entrepreneurs from all over the world, but also some media personnel. When the dinner was about to begin, some media people came forward to ask for autographs. At that time, every entrepreneur was next to the company's special security personnel, but because of the nature of the banquet, they could not get too close. At this time, as the chief monitor, Mr. Chen saw from the monitoring screen that a man was approaching two wealthy Korean businessmen nearby. Years of professional sensitivity have made Mr. Chen more vigilant. Judging from the other person's eyes and expression, Mr. Chen initially judged that this is not a real autograph. He immediately informed the secret service security personnel next to the two wealthy businessmen with headsets, asking him to "take it down" immediately when the other side had abnormal behavior. Sure enough, the suspect quickly exposed his bad intentions. At the moment when the other party suddenly stepped forward, the nearby secret service personnel jumped in front of him almost at the same time. I saw that the special security personnel stretched out their right arm, gently turned around, pushed each other away for a few meters, and then were controlled by the peripheral police. The whole process takes less than two minutes, and many people present may not know what happened. This matter is over.

It is worth mentioning that the special security personnel turned around, and this "turn around" quickly and forcefully controlled the other's shoulders, elbows and other important joints, thus making them lose their aggression. The whole movement seems unremarkable, but it is actually the accumulation of years of deep grasp of skills. Ordinary national defense personnel simply can't do it.

Then, if there is an opponent with great lethality, one side violently attacks and the other side passively defends, even if it is possible to "guarantee" the life safety of the protected object, what can be used to ensure his own life safety?

Chairman Chen Yongqing told reporters: "First of all, super professional sensitivity, accurate judgment and excellent grasping ability are the most important self-security guarantees. As mentioned above, we set up such key industry standards not only to protect the safety of the parties, but also to protect the safety of special security personnel. In fact, the safety of intensive care workers and employers is one. If a special security worker can't even protect his own life, how can he protect the safety of his employer? Secondly, as far as equipment is concerned, our special care workers are equipped with the most advanced protective equipment in the world, which is directly imported from the United States, mainly bulletproof vests. A pair of 80 to100000 yuan can effectively resist the attack of deadly weapons and protect the personal safety of special care workers to the greatest extent. Third, starting from the company's humanistic care for special insurance personnel, we require each special insurance personnel to take out nearly one-tenth of their annual salary to buy insurance. Our special insurance personnel earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, which means that the annual insurance coverage is tens of thousands. We belong to a special industry and the insurance premium is relatively high. "

In the film, the close-up of Xu Zhengyang's glorious injury to the client is impressive. How will the real special security personnel react when they encounter such a critical situation?

On this issue, Mr. Chen told reporters seriously that no matter when and where, no matter what direction and form of threats, special security personnel should stand up for the protected objects. This is not noble but an obligation. As Xu Zhengyang said in the movie, for ordinary people, avoiding threats is a life instinct reaction, but for secret service security personnel, after professional psychological quality training, they must have the "instinct" to stand up and take bullets for the parties in an emergency. Of course, it's still an old saying, "heal the sick and save lives." When the bullet has been fired from the opponent's gun, in a sense, the work of special protection has failed. The most important thing is to resolve the threat in the multi-level three-dimensional protection network of internal protection, external protection, explicit protection and implicit protection. What makes Tianjiao Special Care proud is that there has never been such a situation in the special care tasks of many high-end figures and important meetings. "This is our pride. For some industries, the focus is on high safety rate. For our high-end protection industry, the heavy responsibility is on the shoulder, emphasizing the "zero" threat rate. Because just like a car accident, there is no chance to have a second time, and there is no chance for us to sum up the lessons. " Mr Chen Yongqing said.

If there is evil, there must be right, and if there is black, there must be white. In the contest between good and evil, the wise will win and the benevolent will be invincible. This may be an eternal truth and a true portrayal of the special protection industry.
