Why Should Potential clients hire me?
Potential clients should hire me because I have a wide range of skills  and experience that can be used to protect them. For example I have controlled access to various types of facilities over the last twelve years and during that time I have diffused a large number of potentially violent situations while performing my duties. I am skilled in basic first aid and the use of an automatic emergency defibrillator, I also spent two years operating a naval hospital ambulance on a major United States Marine Corps base. I have been trained to use various types of firearms and I understand when to use  firearms in my protection duties and when not to use them.
I am very comfortable with technology ( email, ms office etc) and I have worked with various computer network technologies and have installed various types of computer hardware. I have very good observation skills and I understand that protecting my client's privacy is big part of providing protection for my client. I am a disciplined, loyal, detailed security professional who always delivers more than expected.
