 My close protection agency uses this book in training December 16, 2008
Reno Raines (Seattle, WA)
I own Kidon International a close protection agency in WA state, we use this book to train all of our new CP Officers. I have read most books in the field and this is one of the best. You won't be dissappointed.
Excellent book on executive protection July 16, 2007

3 out of 3 found this review helpful
As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I highly recommend this book from distinguished former agent Dale June. It is well written and very informative. Simply put, you cannot go wrong in purchasing this volume. I was a little disappointed with the 11/22/63 "whitewash", but that was to be expected, quite frankly (what is Mr. June going to say : "My colleagues screwed up in Dallas?"). Get this!
A must read for protection specialists October 20, 2006
R. S. Binder (Los Angeles, California)
This book is the quintessential guide for the executive and personal protection professional. Newcomers to the field as well as veterans will find the book very readable and thorough in its coverage of all aspects of executive and personal protection. While providing a solid overview of the basics of the profession, the book also covers some advanced topics such as motorcade tactics, advances, and working the principal in different scenarios. The only drawback to this text is that it is over-priced. Nevertheless, I highly recommend it for anyone considering entering the field of personal protection or already working in it.
Excellent Reading November 8, 2005

To Those Interested:
Having had the opportunity to read Introduction to Executive Protection by Dale June, I can state the following.
This book is well thought out and well written. The author does an exemplary job of combining the basics of executive protection along with personal insight. And though not technical in nature, which is not its intended purpose according to its title, it provides a clear and uncluttered look at the responsibilities of an executive protection agent.
It's an excellent starting point for anyone interested in exploring a career in executive protection, especially those who do not have any formal government training.
I believe this book accomplishes its intended purpose with distinction.
