5-Day Conference on Close Protection

Service Description

Private security is expanding rapidly across West Africa, with Nigeria at the centre of the region’s corporate, energy, and diplomatic activity. Clients increasingly expect services aligned to international (especially British) benchmarks while remaining compliant with Nigerian law, realities, and risk profiles. This 5-day conference launches a comprehensive guide to the core principles of Close Protection (CP)—mapping UK best practice (e.g., SIA-aligned competencies and relevant British Standards such as the BS 8507 code of practice for close protection services and BS 7858 for screening and vetting) to local operating conditions in Nigeria. The event blends plenary talks, technical workshops, tabletop exercises, and live demonstrations. It is designed for corporate security leaders, CP team leaders, government liaison officers, training managers, insurers, and practitioners transitioning to, or upskilling within, the private security industry.
