Close Protection in New York: A Specialist Discipline
New York City presents unique security challenges for high-profile individuals. The density of population, the unpredictability of public spaces and the concentration of media activity make close protection in New York a specialist discipline — not a commodity. FFGR deploys CPO-certified (Close Protection Officer) personnel with backgrounds in US Secret Service, Special Forces and Interpol-affiliated agencies, exclusively for UHNWI principals, corporate executives, celebrities and foreign government officials.
Our Close Protection Methodology
Every FFGR engagement begins with a Threat & Vulnerability Assessment (TVA). Our intelligence team maps the principal's profile against current threat matrices — including online exposure, travel patterns and event schedules. From this assessment, we build a Principal Protection Plan (PPP) that governs every movement during the engagement.
Advance Work in New York
Before your arrival, FFGR advance officers sweep all venues, hotel accommodations and transit routes. We coordinate with hotel security management, private event organizers and local law enforcement liaisons to ensure a sterile environment upon your entry. In New York, where media presence is pervasive, advance work is not optional — it is the foundation of your security.
Armored Vehicle Fleet
Our close protection operations in New York are supported by a fleet of B6-rated armored vehicles — capable of withstanding high-caliber ballistic threats and explosive devices. Our armored options include the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Guard, the BMW 7 Series High Security and the Cadillac Escalade (custom B6). All vehicles are operated by CPO-qualified driver-protection officers, and motorcade configurations are available for principals requiring convoy-level security.
Residential & Hotel Security
Beyond transportation, FFGR provides residential security details for principals staying at Manhattan hotels, private residences or leased apartments. Our officers coordinate directly with the building security team, establish access control protocols and maintain a 24/7 operations center communication link throughout the engagement.
Confidentiality as Standard
Every FFGR officer signs an NDA before deployment. Our client list is never disclosed. Operational details, schedules and movement plans are held in an encrypted system accessible only to the account manager and the detail leader. We do not employ social media-active officers. Discretion is not a policy — it is a cultural standard.
