The availability of portable alarm and CCTV systems, personal “panic button” transmitters and GPS based tracking systems provide the modern bodyguard with some very effective means of increasing protection levels while minimizing the impact such an increase has on the principal and his or her lifestyle. The affordability and availability of personal computers, along with the advent of the internet, provide their benefit in the form of easier and faster access to the latest information regarding existing or evolving threats, routes, locales, etc. Those security professionals that provide one-on-one protection often realize the most significant benefit from applied technology. In situations where manpower and other resources are limited, the value of technology as a force multiplier cannot be overstated.
How Can You Prevent Something You Can’t See Coming?
The obvious answer is that you can’t.

Another First for Tony Scotti’s Vehicle Dynamics Institute!
In keeping with a tradition of continuous improvement – and first’s among private sector driver training provider’s – that dates back to 1974 and the origins of our predecessor, the Scotti School, VDI has entered Phase I of our Training Fleet Modernization project, which will see us replacing the venerable Crown Vic sedans that are commonplace in the training arena with Dodge Charger police package sedans.
The Science of…Route Planning?!
A closer look at an age-old secure transportation/protection route planning function was inspired by United Parcel Service – commonly referred to as UPS.
The Truth About Behind the Wheel Emergencies
When VDI coined the phrase, “Behind the Wheel Emergencies” to describe the focus of our training nearly 14 years ago, it was in recognition of the fact that the most common risk the vast majority of Security Drivers face on an everyday basis is a potential crash. Today, with accident related fatalities on the rise, training to the broadest possible spectrum of risks drivers face – from potential accidents to security incidents – is as important as it was more than forty years ago when Tony Scotti first introduced the concept of training to an objective standard and the methodology that made it possible.
