Ensuring Business Traveler Security
International corporations face extra risk when their employees travel to Latin America and the Caribbean.
From the airport to the hotel, and from your facility to an after-hours meeting in a restaurant, even a 15-minute journey can be unsafe. The choice of route and method of transportation truly matters, and that choice often depends on local conditions that can change from month to month.
Additionally, the uncertainty of travelling to an unfamiliar location can weigh heavily on your firm’s most valuable assets – your coworkers.
Local Awareness, Regional Scale, and International Standards
Secure Pointe offers an integrated suite of Security Services to mitigate that risk.
It begins with our local drivers, who make the in-person contact with each of your colleagues. They are chosen for their local experience and situational awareness. We measure them on their ability to deliver the service according to a high standard, and they tell us what they observe on the roads.
These drivers and executive protection experts report to our local Country Directors. Information is regularly shared between these two groups and coordinated through our Global Security Operations Center. This 24x7 facility, the first of its kind in Guyana, coordinates travel and best practices at a regional level. Secure Pointe focuses exclusively on Latin America and hires accordingly.
Your company will receive security services that meet an international standard of safety, security, reliability, and predictability. Secure Pointe has an extensive background supporting international oil companies, manufacturing firms, and other world-class firms with human and physical assets that need protection.
Secure Transportation and Executive Protection
Our security escort drivers provide safe and secure transportation for corporate personnel, private families, and even parcels. This service is structured to enhance the security and efficiency of busy executives moving around in any high-risk Latin American environment.
We draw from a network of highly qualified drivers and security personnel that includes former-military and law enforcement specialists in providing expert driving skills and close security to clients in moving throughout all risk environments.
Families living in these environments get the advantage of having a driver who is trained and certified as a transportation security specialist who can identify threats. Our drivers also possess the requisite driving skills to mitigate these threats.
We currently offer Secure Transportation and Executive Protection in Guyana, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.
Global Security Operations Center
The hub that integrates Secure Pointe’s suite of security services is our Global Security Operations Center located in Georgetown, Guyana. It is designed to support the expanding local security demands of that oil-rich country, and operated to meet the journey management expectations of international companies.
Our GSOC operators monitor the day-to-day movements of drivers and travelers. Local feedback on travel conditions is aggregated and shapes the operational decisions that lead to effective journey management. The GSOC is staffed 24x7.
This facility will scale up to accommodate alarm monitoring, API access to cameras and other site-specific systems, and tenants for other entities. We coordinate emergency rapid response through the GSOC.
Defensive Driver Training
Raising the skill level of your drivers leads to fewer accidents. With greater control of the vehicles, your drivers will also become much better prepared to address security threats, whenever they may arise.
Our Defensive Driving Training curricula are designed to provide three levels of training for drivers operating in High Threat and/or High Crime Environments. Each level of our ten-hour Certified training curriculums is designed to enhance the driver’s ability to maintain advance vehicle control and carry out recognized security procedures, identify hazards and threats, and take appropriate actions when necessary. SPI’s Certified instructors will present the driver with the principles for advanced vehicular operation to react properly in a threat situation and significantly reduce the risk to the occupants of the vehicle. The concepts presented during the Level I, II, & III two-hour classroom curriculums will serve as the foundation for the follow-on eight hours of practical driving exercises, which take place on the track for Level I & II, and on-road for Level III during the afternoon portion of the training curriculums.
Defensive Driving Training is intended for local and international business professionals, high net worth individuals, law enforcement, military, and executive protection professionals.
We hold these courses throughout Latin America and will schedule them at your request. We will bring as much of the training to your own facilities as practical, to maximize the time your drivers are available to perform their fundamental responsibilities.
Security Driver Training
This Protective Driving course is taught in a hands-on fashion specifically designed to meet the needs of professional security drivers. Our expert trainers supply the participants with the information, skills, techniques and defensive methods necessary for safe and secure executive transportation. These skills are reached using our building-block approach to training, which incorporates classroom lectures with carefully designed but very active hands-on driving exercises.
Courses are taught in a relaxed, friendly environment, and class sizes kept small to ensure individualized attention and ample time behind the wheel. Courses can be modified to meet the client’s specific needs.
Students must reach clearly defined goals and objectives in order to successfully complete the 3-day Security Driver course.
