Executive protection

"For the film, see Executive Protection (film)."

Executive protection refers to measures taken to ensure the safety of VIPs.

Protective measures may include home security systems, bodyguards, armored vehicles and vehicle scramble plans, mail screening, private jet travel, background checks for other employees, and other precautions.

For example, controversy erupted over the amount and nature of protective measures provided to former Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto, who was assassinated in late 2007.
