Day in the Life – Close Protection Officer

Imran Leroy: Close Protection Officer

‘I’m a Close Protection Officer with over 10 years of experience in the company. I’ve operated in diverse, and often high-risk environments, to ensure the safety and security of individuals under my protection.

Over the years, I have honed my ability to remain focused under pressure by prioritising tasks ahead of time and preparing for potential challenges. One of my most demanding assignments was in the Central African Republic, where working in a complex and unpredictable environment demanded resilience, situational awareness and adaptability.

I take pride in adapting to different cultures and respecting the values of the people I work within each country.

I travel often, professionally and for leisure, and attend training and events at the head office, a great addition was earning my FREC 3 medical certification.’

How does Imran balance the stress of the role?

‘My role requires both physical and mental endurance, so I make it a priority to stay in peak condition. To help unwind after demanding projects I hit the gym, using training to relieve stress and maintain the discipline necessary for my profession.’
