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.
