Contrary to popular belief, big and brawny does not make someone a good bodyguard candidate. Well-trained, efficient bodyguards will act to prevent the protected person from encountering dangerous situations or circumstances in the first place. It is this basic "prevention" philosophy that defines our protection personnel. Butler & Associates protection agents are unique in that our personnel are trained to prevent exposure to dangerous situations while being trained to U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Military use of force standards. Anytime your personal, business, or family safety is compromised or threatened, a Butler & Associates bodyguard or protection team is a wise decision.
