THE RONIN OPERATOR STATUS

We believe that a truly capable Close Protection Operator must have both tactical and medical skills to fully meet their client’s expectations. This perspective stems from the straightforward reality that a client expects their safety to be assured in all situations under your protection. Whether it’s responding to an attack, managing an accidental injury, or addressing a sudden medical emergency, the ability to act decisively in any scenario is essential.

By combining tactical proficiency with medical expertise, operators can provide well-rounded protection that not only neutralizes threats but also ensures a client’s well-being in the face of unforeseen circumstances. This holistic approach is at the heart of delivering reliable, professional Close Protection services that clients can trust.
