Dallas Executive Protection Course
We're Bringing our Executive Protection Training to Dallas
For the first time ever, MVP Protective Services is bringing our high-stakes Executive Protection Course to Dallas, Texas. While Washington, D.C and New York City are the ultimate proving grounds for new agents—with its crowded streets, corporate powerhouses, and high-profile clients—we know Dallas is where the next generation of elite protectors will rise.
Why? Because Dallas is a booming hub of Fortune 500 companies, celebrities, political figures, and global business leaders. From the fast-paced energy of Downtown to the high-stakes environments of Uptown and the Arts District, Dallas demands real-world readiness. Agents here must navigate complex urban landscapes, rapid threat assessment, and high-pressure security details—just like in NYC and D.C., but with a distinctly Texas edge.
Our training doesn’t just teach theory—we prepare you for the real deal. If you can protect a principal in Dallas, you can protect them anywhere. Ready to prove yourself? Enroll now and launch your executive protection career where it matters most—right here in DFW.
All New Hybrid Classes
In our previous classes we learned that classroom lectures simply eat away at valuable practice time for our students. So in 2025, we implemented hybrid executive protection classes. Students spend three days online studying with elite executive protection instructors. The curriculum covers the history of Executive Protection, Security Advances, Risk and Threat Assessments, Surveillance and Counter-Surveillance, and Contracts and Legal Issues.
Then on day one of our in-person class we will do a brief review to reinforce what was learned in our online executive protection module. Followed by a classroom lecture on executive protection formations, attacks on principal drills and assassination reviews. The next three days will be dedicated to hands on instruction where you get to practice writing security operations plans, advance reports and risk assessments, route planning, hands on medical emergency training, close quarter combat, principal movements, protective service detail formations and attack on principal drills.
An Executive Protection career can take you places you never imagined, and we want to get you started off in the right direction.
Executive Protection jobs are rewarding and can have many perks including:
- Opportunities to protect major corporations, high-profile executives and VIPS
- Meet very important people
- Travel all over the world
However, job success depends on the investment that you make in your executive protection training program. The knowledge and skills that you learn in close protection training translate into value when security companies and employers look to hire professional security agents. Your skills and knowledge in VIP protection will also allow you to perform at a high-level to keep your clients safe.
If you are absolutely new to the executive protection business, have some experience but have never been to an Executive Protection School, it is time to get serious. If you would like to protect corporate executives, politicians, A-List celebrities, and other high profile individuals you are going to need some security credentials behind you. Clients and close protection companies demand it.
