Tips, Techniques & Considerations While Working a Solo Detail

Tips, Techniques & Considerations While Working a Solo Detail

Last week, I polled several online groups for their requests on what type of post they would like to see. Based on the responses, the most frequent was ‘working details in a solo capacity.’ Below are some important considerations that will dramatically increase your ability in providing smooth, unobtrusive and effective protective services while working alone.

The Characteristics of Stab Wounds

The weapons of choice in the majority of assaults – both domestic and ‘on-the-street’ include lock knives, sheaf knives and kitchen knives.

Stab wounds are incised wounds where the length of injury on the surface is less than the depth of penetration into the body, and are the result of a thrusting action, where the force is delivered along the long axis of a narrow, pointed object. The force of impact is concentrated at the tip of the implement, and the sharper the tip, the easier it will penetrate the skin.

By the numbers, men prefer to shoot, women prefer to poison, however the close #2 for both is knives.

Protective Intelligence: Open Source Intelligence Resources

Protective Intelligence: Open Source Intelligence Resources

Protective intelligence is the process of gathering and assessing information about persons who may have the interest, motive, intention, and capability of mounting attacks against public officials and figures.” – USSS Protective Intelligence & Threat Assessment Investigations: A Guide for State and Local Law Enforcement Officials

“Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is intelligence collected from publicly available sources. In the intelligence community (IC), the term “open” refers to overt, publicly available sources (as opposed to covert or clandestine sources); drawn from publicly available material, including: the Internet, the media, photos and geospatial information.” – CIA DNI Open Source Center

Below, we have put together a list of highly effective resources we use while conducting OSINT investigations for protective intelligence; and remember, information is the data obtained through research and the resultant actionable conclusions we formulate from that data is the intelligence.

Training Barrels – A Highly Valuable Training Aid

IMO, one of the best forms of training is what we do off of the range – weapons manipulation drills and especially dry fire drills. However, I am always hesitant to perform these drills due to the inherent risk of a safety issue or worse, a negligent discharge. I am confident in my safety procedures and capabilities when handling a firearm, however there is always the possibility.
