The Law Enforcement → Executive Protection Transition Guide

A practical playbook for police officers and federal agents moving into private-sector executive protection — the three ways in, the training and licensing you actually need, the legal realities, realistic pay, and a step-by-step runway.

What's inside

• The three ways in — contractor, your own firm, or in-house (Fortune 500 & family office)
• The mindset shift: from enforcement to influence
• Training by background + the new Board Certified Executive Protection Professional (BEPP) and ASIS International industry standards
• The legal reality: no qualified immunity + the LEOSA / HR-218 myth
• Licensing to work, and the extra rules for federal officers (§ 207)
• The money: realistic pay by path
• A 1–5 year exit runway and a first-90-days plan
