MOTORCADES AND CONVOYS Motorcades A vehicle or moving group of vehicles along speeded road in controlled manner. Pilot Wheels ahead 2-3 Vehicle from the convoy not a part of a motorcade. Motorcycle Escort Follow Car Tactical Wheels Police Marked Car Security Lead Car VIP Guests Police Tail Car Ambulance FULL NORMAL MOTORCADE VEHICLE ESCORTING PROCEDURES A. The Threat Level High Threat the Follow Car closely & aggressively protect the Limo from all potential threats. Medium Threat Follow Car will less aggressively cover the Limo. Low Threat Follow Car will trail the Limo providing coverage. B. Traffic Conditions Normal Traffic The Follow Car should have enough room to maneuver to the left or right. Heavy Traffic There should enough room between the limo & the follow. C. Speeds High Speeds There should be enough distance between the Limo & Follow Car to allow the driver of the follow car to see the near wheels of the limo over his hood. Moderate or Slow Speeds The driver of the follow car should be able to see the bumper of the limo over the hood of the follow car. D. Road Movement Techniques Two- Lane Road a) The Follow Car stays directly behind the Limo offset to the open lane b) When approaching intersections or dangerous location; 1) Limo will move to the opposite sides of the lane 2) Follow Car will move between the object & the Limo; and, 3) the Limo and Follow Car will pass the object intersection & return to the normal configuration. To confuse Surveillance Teams, change: 1) Routes; 2) Time of Departure and arrival; 3) Vehicle (stealth or dummy motorcades); 4) Number of people in motorcade; 5) Number of vehicles in motorcades; and 6) Configuration of motorcade. E. Package Concept - The motorcade operates as one package not as 4 or 3 separate vehicles. a) The Limo & the Follow Car drivers operate together. b) Both drivers follow the primary & alternate routes selected prior to departure. c) Both drivers all know the safe havens locations & emergency exit locations. d) The Limo driver drives with the follow car in mind; 1) When turning, the Limo moves to the inside to allow the follow car to block; 2) The Limo driver maneuvers for 2 cars ensuring that there is adequate room to both vehicle to enter or pass before actually doing so; and, 3) Vehicle movements are moderate & liberate. Avoid stop & go jerky movements of the Limo. e) Conversely, the Follow Car drivers operates with the Limo in mind; 1) Covers the Limo on departures & arrivals; 2) Blocks the traffic to allow the Limo to maneuver as needed; and, 3) Remembers that the Follow Car is subject to the Limos movement. f) In an emergency, the Follow Car reacts with the Limo and follow its LEAD. F. When stopped in traffic: a) The Limo should be: 1) Positioned with enough space in front to maneuver around another vehicle or escape, if necessary; and 2) Positioned in traffic (offset) so that vehicles on either side. b) The Follow Car should be: 1) Positioned behind & offset from the Limo, blocking traffic as needed; and 2) A sufficient distant from the Limo to reach to threats on either side.

No radio unless requested Following procedures/distances Know all destinations and routes Inertia the tendency of a body to stay in motion in a straight line unless disturbed by an external force. Friction the result of two objects in contact with each other which create: Heat Resistance Forces which affect Vehicle Operation Four (4) Way Test of the Things We Think, Say or Do OIs it the truth? O Is it fair to all concerned? OWill it build goodwill & better friendship? O Will it be beneficial to all concerned? S U M M A R Y 1) Protection is a buffer set-up in screens around the Protected to prevent an attack or absorb its effects. 2) Protection should be an asset not a liability. 3) Protection must be around the VIP wherever he maybe (Principle of 360 Protection). 4) Absolute protection is rarely impossible. 5) Protection must be surprise proof as possible & flexible to react rapidly & to any emergency; and 6) Protection must: ANTICIPATE, RECOGNIZE, INVESTIGATE & NEUTRALIZE. Primary Action of Security Personnel e Investigate e Locate e Diagnose e Mark e Assist e Protect e Report BOMB SEARCHING TECHNIQUES PROTECTIVE WORKS e Venting Opening doors & windows to minimize blast effects. e Buttressing Sandbagging adjacent walls to prevent blast and shock damage to adjoining rooms. e Baffling Placing sandbags around the bomb to minimize blast fragments damage.

FACTS ON USE OF FIREARMS On the average, most armed confrontations using firearms takes only 3 to 6 seconds with a distance from 0 to 5 meters and speeds 2 to 4 rounds only. It would be either because of the following: a. One of them has been hit, neutralized & dying b. Both have been hit, incapacitated.

Talk in terms of the other mans interests. Be a good listener. 2. Make promises sparingly and most keep them faithfully no matter what it cost you. 3. Dont ever let an opportunity pass to say a kind and encouraging word to or about somebody. Praise good work done regardless of who did it. If criticism is merited, criticize helpfully, never spiteful. Give honest appreciation. 4. Be interested in others, in their pursuits, their welfare, their homes and families. Make merry with those who rejoice and mourn with those who weep. Let everyone meet you, however humble, feel that you regard him as a person of importance. 5. Be cheerful. Keep the corners of your mouth turned up. Hide your pains, worries and disappointments under a pleasant smile. Laugh at good stories and learn to tell them. 6. Preserve an open mind on all debatable questions. Discuss but dont argue. It is a mark of superior minds to disagree and yet be friendly. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing other persons. 7. Let your virtues, if you have any, speak for themselves and refuse to talk of anothers vice. Discourage gossip and make it a rule to say nothing of another unless it is something good. 8. Be careful of others feelings. Wit and humor at the others fellow expenses are rarely worth the effort and may hurt where least expected. Make the other person feel important. 9. Dont be anxious about getting things done. 10.Do your work, be patient, keep your disposition sweet, forget self and will be respected and rewarded.
