It isn't. It's advance work nobody sees, a plan already three versions deep before the principal arrives, and hundreds of hours of nothing happening on purpose. Jim Wenzel joins The Deductionist Podcast with Behavioural Intelligence to break down what close protection actually is: proactive prevention, not reactive tactics. We cover the POLAR framework (positioning, observable behaviour, location, access, risk), why \"boring is best\" is the real measure of success, why training for decisions beats training for drills, and why the principal should never pay for the protector's ego. If you've ever wondered what separates someone who can read a room from someone who can act on what they've read, this is the episode.
