Close Protection Driver Brief.
The overall rule during all vehicle mounted close protection details is that
the CP agent is the vehicle
commander, not the client and it is the CP agent who will issue orders in
order for him/her to be
effective in his/her duties.
The following points are some dos and donts for the driver:
Report with a clean vehicle and a full gas tank.
Ensure that he/she has thoroughly checked the vehicle for suspicious
activity or objects and
that the vehicle is fully serviceable before beginning any programmes.
Speak only when spoken to. Unnecessary chatter cannot only be
unwanted, but can pose a
problem if the agent is concentrating on traffic, route, hazards etc
Do not leap out of the vehicle to open the door for the client, the agent will
open and close
the clients door.
Once the client and the agent are inside the vehicle ensure the central
locking is applied and
the doors remain locked until the vehicle has arrived at the designated
location. The
windows must remain closed. If the client wishes a window to be open,
ensure it is only
open by a maximum of 2.5 inches to prevent opportunist attacks and
objects being thrown
into the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended. Stay with the vehicle at all times
unless you are
relieved. Provisions will be made for the meals, restroom breaks, etc. If you
must leave the
vehicle, you are to notify the agent, the command post, or other drivers as
to where you can
be reached, how long you will be gone, and the reason for leaving the
vehicle. The agent
should carry a spare set of keys for the vehicle and another set kept at the
command post.
The advance agent should ensure that all drivers know how to and are able
to contact the
agent and command post.
When the vehicle arrives at its destination, the vehicle doors should be
unlocked by the
driver, the engine is kept running and in drive, and the driver remains
behind the wheel
helping the agent with observation of possible threats. Do not open and
close doors for the
client or the agent. The agent riding in the passenger seat of the vehicle will
open his door
only when he is satisfied that it is safe to do so and then he will open the
clients door whilst
observing the area for potential threats.
If the trunk needs to be opened then it should be released by the driver
using the release
catch from within the vehicle. Do not remove the keys from the ignition in
the event that it
is necessary to leave immediately.
Alcoholic beverages must not be drunk within twelve hours prior to
reporting for work or
during work. Do not drink any beverage whilst driving.
Food should not be eaten in the car, nor should the vehicle be used to
drive to an eating
establishment. The agent will arrange for meals. If it should become
necessary to eat in the
car, the vehicle must be completely cleaned and aired before the protectee
returns.
Do not smoke in the vehicle at any time even if you are alone within the
vehicle.
Drive smoothly, safely, and conservatively, obeying traffic laws and wear
your seat belt.
Stop, start, and turn gradually and smoothly, signalling turns well in
advance. Pace your
225

..........driving so that you do not run yellow lights. This is especially

important if there is a
followup
vehicle. Do not sound the horn except in an emergency.
When approaching red lights slow down and cruise slowly up to the traffic
lights keeping the
vehicle moving, a moving vehicle is safer than a stationary vehicle.
When bringing the vehicle to a halt at a stop sign or traffic lights ensure
there is enough
space between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead for you to drive around
and escape if
necessary to do so.
Do not turn the radio on unless requested to do so by the protectee or
agent. Establish if the
protectee has any favourite stations and pre-program the radio stations. If
not then preprogram
the stations to classical, easy listening and a good news station.
In a high profile motorcade, keep the headlights on.
In a motorcade or convoy, drivers should remain at least one vehicle
length from the vehicle
ahead of them. The distance should be such that the vehicles do not run
into each other, and
at the same time do not allow other vehicles to get in-between. If a problem
develops with a
vehicle then that vehicle should drop out rather than hold up the motorcade
unless it is the
VIP vehicle at which point a soft vehicle change should be carried out. A
hard vehicle
change is carried out only when under attack and the VIP vehicle has been
immobilised.
If the destination is reached during darkness the vehicle lights should be
on full beam and
should be pointed away from location in an attempt to blind any potential
attacker.
The driver must ensure he is furnished with maps and route cards to
locations and
acknowledge that he/she has a full understanding of all routes and
locations. If he/she does
not, then inform the agent immediately.
Your professionalism and co-operation is appreciated.
