Executive Protection for Dads | Secret Service & Private Security Tips 

The doomsday stuff is cool, but really enjoy more grounded and realistic approaches to security and preparedness. Thanks guys

From 34 years as Leo in major city. 1. Never go out after 9 pm, if you can help it. 2 never go to gas station/ convenience store at night. 3. Don't get involved when you have your family with you. They come first. 4. Disengage if at all possible. 5. Dont let your ego drag you into conflicts. 6. Lock your doors. The over wellming majority of violent crime happens at night. Family first. Now a days you will probably have multiple assailants.

"I'm not raising victims I'm raising protectors." I like that

Finally a video other than CQB, EDC, gadgets, gear and room clearing. As a Former LEO and now working EP this is a great video for the common man with no LEO and EP experience, as well as a refresher for guys with experience. Knowledge is power. Appreciate this video guys. Clear concise and simple explanation. Job well done.

Crazy coincidence this video gets published mere moments after my wife FaceTimes me at Drill sergeant academy. Telling me she’s pregnant with our first kid. 😅

My daughter is 7 weeks old, thank you good sir for your timing

This. This is the kind of Dirty Civilian content I want more of.

No wonder my dad used to always go into the restaurant first to "check the wait time" before we got out the car..... Genius

Adding blind-spot mirrors onto your side mirrors is a must both for general safety and situational awareness.

It’s absolutely wild that across all videos like this, almost EVERY professional’s, or experienced person’s, advice is basically “pay attention.” Really shows how many people truly have zero SA.

Both the dads we need and want in the community!!!!

I just want a gf

As a father of 2 young kids, I thank you for making this video.

I needed this video more than you know! Father of 3 and in the military! Thank you for all you do!

I park where there are no other vehicles around. If you park surrounded by other vehicles it gives the opportunity for someone to pull behind you and block you in. It also gives you more time, it’s more obvious if someone is following you to the back of the parking lot where there are no other vehicles. This had bought me time before against beggars and homeless.

Woke up before the wife and kids to organize my shop… proceeded to enjoy the most majestic morning of education with my coffee. Can’t thank you guys enough. Jammed packed with pearls.

25+ years in USG dignitary protection & ultra high net worth protection. You live and die by the quality, throughness, and detail of your advance! The advance encompasses EVERYTHING (as well as a multitude of potentials) that will be encountered from residence/office/school/hotel departure to the return or arrival at an alternative final destination. Good read for the lay person... "Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker

This kinda content is priceless to me. The place where I live is quite chill and full of good people, but this grounded and algorithmic approach to family protection is always a plus. Thanks a lot.

I CCW'd everyday for 12 years while I was stationed at Fort Sill, only ever had one close call when they were doing random vehicle checks at the gate, but otherwise no one was the wiser. If the 2009 incident on Fort Hood taught us anything, it's that we should never allow ourselves to be lulled into a false sense of safety just because of the environment we're in. Risk might be low, but never zero, so regulations be damned. You just have to be smart about it.

The saying I use with my family is "Prepared not Paranoid" like carrying or wearing a seatbelt, I'd rather have it and never need it than need it and not have it lol.

I’m pretty much always doing all of this but very rarely do I ever communicate it with my wife and kids ( I want them to be able to live normal lives lol). The only thing my wife notices is she says “it takes you so long to park” because I always circle once before selecting… Keep up the great work gentleman. God bless The United States Of America 🇺🇸

Thanks for hosting these guys.....better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.....great stuff.

Amazing how being a father awakens the beast within 😊

Prepping for some vague end of the world situation in a way that revolves around buying gear and firearms training is something I dont particularly like about about the "tactical prepper community." I dont take an isssue with either of those things and honestly those things are fun and cool. But stuff like this is such valuable info to share. It helps build a more holistic knowledge base. And hey, a lot of this is stuff I was already practicing either subconciously or actively (got the opportunity to do some driving in Afghanistan). That being said, you can always learn something new and this video is jam packed with good info. Honestly, this channel has been crushing it. Massive thank you for bringing us such a wide variety of useful grade A content for free. PS: This may or not be a "good" piece of advice. When you park your car try to make it next to some sort of land mark (light poles work well). Even in the best of times finding your car in a massive parking lot can be a little hit and miss sometimes. Wandering around and making your car go "beep" so you can find it is just a bad look.

Literally sitting in the hospital with my newborn watching this

Something I didn’t see mentioned is changing your cars settings to where your vehicle doesn’t unlock when you shift into park. If you park and shift into park and the doors unlock immediately, it could leave you vulnerable. I manually unlock my doors when I’m ready to exit the vehicle.

Up until watching this video, I thought I was just a paranoid dad. I do all of this stuff the whole time & the fam doesn’t even know 🤣

As a Ccw divorced dad of 3 amazing daughters that are my life in a very dangerous world for young girls I sincerely appreciate this!

I appreciate you guys realizing there are other sources out there that you allow an opportunity to teach on this platform! Yall are awesome!

This video finally convinced me to subscribe. Excellent content with nuance and context taken into account. Professional presentation once again.

Great video coming from you guys! As a young man (23) starting out in the world with the mindset of protecting his future family, this knowledge is critical! Would love to see securing your home on the next one!

This might be my favorite video so far. A great topic, super relevant, and super informative. Thank you! Keep up the great content!

I thoroughly enjoyed this, and hope to see more like this from you guys in the future. This is a great way to show civilians like us what they can practically do on a regular basis to protect our families.

My son was born last Tuesday, something I needed to see

As a young first time father to be this topic has been on my mind since i first heard the news , great video! forsure looking forward to more family oriented content.

This was PHENOMENAL. No drama, nothing unrealistic. Real world advice. Thank you!

Me and my wife have a high awareness of our surroundings and we both carry, but this has given thought to a lot of other points we needed and have not thought of before. Great video with lots of great info.

One of the best videos you guys have put out to date. Great advice and these two guests were top notch. Would love to see some follow up videos with them expanding on additional aspects of Safety for the family!

Thank yall putting out all the content you do!

*EXCELLENT ADVICE!!! In addition to the great points shared, the following suggestions come from my 30 years of experience living in high-risk areas and sadly, a few criminal interactions.* 15:53 *How does this guy Not know that feature can be turned off in all modern vehicles. NEVER allow all your doors to unlock when the vehicle is placed in Park.* *Additionally, I have taken YEARS to train my wife to look outside and around the vehicle before exiting, and to automatically lock the doors when everyone is in or immediately after someone exits the vehicle. It's a habit for us now.* 16:48 *NEVER go to the back of your car during your fill-up. True, no matter where you stand your line of sight for any approaching threats may be limited. But it is optimum to stand between the hose, your vehicle, the pumps and your driver's door (true, some cars suck by having the gasoline tank on the opposite side of the driver's door, get rid of that car, or train a passenger to deal with it properly) because this position provides you with the most obstacles between you and any would-be attacker and allows you the best opportunity to escape into your vehicle. Standing at the back off your car can get you cut off from re-entry to your vehicle, if your passengers are untrained then they may feel compelled to exit the safety of the vehicle to help you and inadvertently expose everyone else inside to threat.* 20:00 *EXCELLENT ADVICE! Here's how you can leave the perfect amount of space every time while simultaneously discouraging other cars cutting in from of you. As long as when you're sitting back with your head against your headrest you can see the bottom of the back tires of the vehicle in front of you touching the ground, then you're good. This distance will vary depending on the size of vehicle in front of you and the size of your vehicle, but as you practice this you'll notice the distance always works out.* 31:07 *Head on a swivel, eyes bounce back and forth from on the horizon to potential blind spots as you move. After everyone in the vehicle looks around outside, I keep all the other doors locked and I get out of the driver's door, re-lock everyone inside and then come around the back of my vehicle toward the passenger side which gives me an opportunity to get a better look of everything in the area. ONLY THEN do all my passengers get out ONLY on that side. And yes, if they have to side over from the left side to get out that's what they do. (To enforce this policy I keep the child safety lock on the left door behind the driver/me. Obviously I remove that feature when I have a trusted adult male behind me).* 38:40 *As I approach any glasses windows or doors, I am trained to use the reflection to look behind before I even get to the door, to see if I'm being followed or for threats (I use reflections a LOT inside and outside because they're free force multipliers everywhere). I still look back once I open the door.* 49:04 *Immediately after reconning a new location I will always show my wife or friends what I believe is the optimum exit in the event of an emergency by using my entire hand angled sideways with my palm open to point in that direction, and I expect eye contact with a quick head nod to confirm we're in agreement.* *BEWARE of FREEZERS!!! Because if the crime turns into a stand-off hostage situation over the next few hours or day then hypothermia can kill.* 53:11 / 54:40 *Look outside briefly BEFORE going outside and secure personal items for hands free except your car keys/fob should be in your hand if you need it to open the doors.* 58:30 *The greatest ideas are worthless without practice and habituation.* *Liberty = Peace & I pray we always enjoy both!*

Another very important thing to consider is how to teach others in your company, especially your children, without creating unnecessary fear. Starting simple like having them aware of the bathroom, exits, kitchen... then talking about earthquake, fire, fights. And slowly increasing their ability to observe their surroundings as they become comfortable all without filling their brain with dread. Thanks for the video. By watching this I realized that I have slowly been getting lax in my own awareness over the years. Bad time in the world to get lazy.

yo dont be the guy takin the only diesel pump on the end when you drivin your gasser

My son is 6 months old, thank you for providing this information to my wife and I. Really appreciate you guys.

Thank you!! It still surprises me how much of what you talk about in videos like this I do already!! Coming from a military family it’s like breathing!! And I almost never let my gas get below half a tank!! Learned the hard way many years ago to always have at least half a tank of gas in my car at all times!! Another good tip my daughter came up with a game when she was about three. I always told her anything and everything can be used as a weapon. So she started asking how this or that can be used and we discussed how to use it as a weapon. And that’s how the game of how can we use this as a weapon started lol!!

This is the most informative and educational gun channel there is out there. I love what yall do.

Top shelf information, fellas. Much appreciated!

GREAT ideas here. I think this is one of the most helpful vids y'all have produced. Everyday family security considerations.

Good insights on this when im currently working 2 security jobs, one for a company and the other a nightclub and Pt Army NG. The knowledge never stops

One thing I do ( my family travels to sketchy places) is separate myself from my kids and (competent) wife. I get a second perspective of who’s watching who. It’s come in handy more than once.

Phenomenal video! Thanks for sharing. Had lots of insight, especially the notes on disclosing unnecessary information by promoting your company on your car or the not-so-cute-anymore stick figure family symbols.

Great show, and a lot of great advise, I appreciate this and will watch this episode a few times!

What I want to see is a vid on perimeter defense and security of a home. Scaling from suburban to rural farm.

This is a great video with a lot of helpful information. Thank you.

After working as a professional line cook for many years, making a bee line and Out through the restaurant kitchen has always been my number 1 game plan. It’s almost ALWAYS opposite the front door (assuming the threat comes in through the front) and I have not yet seen an industrial restaurant kitchen that doesn’t have a back door for deliveries.

18:56.... truer words have never been said. Great video

This is great content I dont see very much. One of your best videos.

Just had a baby girl a week to the day and should be bringing her home soon. This is a great drop to be able to watch. Keep it up guys.

I’m the oldest son in my family and I think this is great for people like me who are naturally very protective of their loved ones!

Thank you for your efforts and I appreciate all of the great information you shared

Excellent down to earth practical video for the average Joe....Good work gentlemen

Great video. It reiterated a lot of things for me as well as gave some very good ideas. Thank ya.

This is awesome. So much good advice. Thank you!

This video came out at the perfect time for me, thank you 👍

Love videos ❤keep them coming

This channel is great, thanks for all the info

The real MVP is the videographer on the gimbal cam 🔥💪 great video as always guys!

I'm not a dad yet, and I would love to. But I'm thinking about all those things already. Thank you for that truly useful video! Great content. Keep it up boys.

Incredibly good video y’all. Tons of good info

This is coming in handy as I’m already aggressive with moving my wife and baby in “high risk” transitions and with twins on the way I need her on board more than ever

Shoutout to the dads who provide and protect

Extremely educational video for anyone and everyone, thank you

Really good advices in this video. When you entered the restaurant, there was a fire terminal in the background. I don't know if US fire code has this, but in my country, there usually is a building schematics that shows room (sometimes with functions), fire fighting equiptment, first aid placements, and emergency exits. That is free information. And sometimes that information will be visually outdated. And that is also free information about the venue. Also to you who run venues that has rooms/areas that you want too shield, don't write the function of that room/area on the fire schematics that is publicly available.

A few days ago had an incident where i had the right of way but a car behind tried to overtake me and we almost collided and he yelled out threats at me while i had my daughter in the car and I let my ego get the best of me.. Thankfully he drove off. Afterwards i felt guilty because I should have ignored the threats and allowed him to continue. FAMILY FIRST! Thank you for this video.

Excellent video! Well thought out discussions on family OpSec.

Your content is amazing. Thank you guys!

This was awesome. Very informative. Great work fellas.

Ty for this fellow dad's and anything beyond 10 pm is not good

We use half a tank around refill level instead of a quarter tank. Also, we make a point of refilling gas during daytime, and are very careful about the gas station location.

Practical, sensible, actionable, great video gentlemen. Subscribed, liked, and shared :)

Thank you for this great content!

Awesome video. Perfect logical content for us Protective Dads.

great vid, in my 2nd era of dadhood as kids are growing up,crazy times we're living in,its up to us to not be victims but victors!

This was great! I appreciate the expert daily approach to safety.

That's so true, stop giving out information... It only serves to expose you and your loved ones to danger.

Thank you for this video !

Another great video!

dang just drove past this place today...so glad people like this are in my town.

Wow...great video. Looking forward to meeting you guys

The security backstreet boys are in sync with those shirts. Looking good!

I bring up the rear because I want to keep and eye on the kids and that's behind me. Just my sop. Thanks for the video!

Learned something new today. Appreciate that.

This is exactly what I want and need. I only care about protecting my family. I don't want it become Rambo or run off into the battle. I want to protect and lead. Thanks for the video.

Thank you, this was a very informative and comprehensive. In addition, to what was covered I would suggest immediately manually locking the doors. Do not wait for them to automatically lock when you put the car in gear. This secures you in the vehicle during what is still part of the transitional period or any waiting period while in the vehicle. Otherwise, someone could walk up and simply open a door. I have done this for years and was one of the practical tips I gave my daughter and son even before they started driving. An AllBoro Security Agency Simple Safety Tip.

This is awesome. Thanks for this one...

Happy Holidays! 🤙🏼

I always have gone to places before taking the family’s going there. And when I’m at a new place, I’m evaluating it for future family possibilities.

Oh and btw great staggering while walking!! Lmao and it was kinda funny watching all of you while in the car driving and talking with everyone constantly head on a swivel lol. Could totally see your training!!

Valuable content... I'd probably change your title and not limit audience interest to men alone. Most fathers who will find this video are hopefully doing these things already. Great information for Mom's/women. This will be mandatory viewing for my wife.

Loving this stuff! Would make a great video for food and water storage for people without land (in small homes or apartments)
