Executive Protection
Training
We specialize in executive protection training for the corporate, government, and private sectors. Increasing numbers of corporate executives and their security directors have begun to weigh the cost and risk of doing business as usual. Their conclusions are evidenced by the Fortune 500 corporations, U.S. Government Agencies, and private families that have entrusted us with the training of their personnel at our Executive Protection Training Programs since 1994.
Executive Protection Services
Our approach to personal protection is grounded in the belief that the best protective assistance is an effective blend of facilitation and security. We have consistently demonstrated that personal protection can be a comfortable and seamless element of the private or corporate environment. We currently provide personnel support, investigative assistance, and security advice to a number of domestic and international clients.
Risk & Vulnerability Assessments
R.L. Oatman & Associates, Inc. provides in depth and detailed threat assessment and risk management services for personal and corporate clients. These assessments consist of a comprehensive report documenting the risk profile across all dimensions of the client's working and personal environments including
corporate and residential security, foreign and domestic travel, work and non-work related activities, and other areas of vulnerability.

ASIS 5 Day Program in Anaheim - A huge success!
| “The event was well attended and I enjoyed meeting many of our alumni from previous E.P. programs along with new security professionals at the 4 day convention. My class on Extracting the Principal from a Hostile Environment had over 150 attendee’s and the class was translated in Spanish for our friends from Latin and South America. It was followed by a book signing for my newest endeavor Executive Protection – Rising to the Challenge, at the ASIS book store. I want to thank IJet Intelligence for making 100 copies of my new book available to those who visited their booth on Wednesday morning where I had the pleasure of signing the new text. We look forward to next year’s ASIS Convention in Dallas Texas October 2010 |
