Toronto, ON

Male, 21

I have worked in Toronto's private security industry for the past three years. From babysitting an outdoor art supplies tent on a chilly night to escorting celebs at the Junos, I have undertaken (just about) every imaginable role in the civilian security business. Currently, I am an event security team supervisor and close protection officer (bodyguard).
I can't guarantee that I know the answer, but I will certainly try my best. Ask away!

Is there actually an expectation that you'd throw yourself in front of a bullet that's meant for someone you're guarding?

Asked by pistol pete almost 12 years ago

Absolutely not. You won't find me abandoning the principal to save my own ass if bullets did start flying, but that stems from a personal sense of duty rather than any contractual obligation. The bright side is that your average celebrity, no matter how famous, is a relatively low risk for assassination. Nightclub doormen and armored car guys are much more likely to be shot at.

What's the strangest request that a client's made?

Asked by Tyalor almost 12 years ago

"Could you walk me to my car? I've got about 80Gs in my backpack." Out of curiosity, I asked to hold the bag. It was surprisingly light. And there was at least two times that amount already in the trunk. I distinctly remember thinking that people rob banks for far less.
