Operational Success on Your Next Nordics Mission | Claus Pichner

After famous examples of EP professionals being arrested in the
Nordics whilst on a detail with a music tour you might ask what
to look out for whilst operating in Sweden, Denmark and Norway -
which make up most of 'the Nordics'.


We are delighted to interview longstanding BBA and NABA friend of
the industry Claus Pichner on his long career, lessons for
current operators and specific advice about working in the region
including:


How to select a local partner in the Nordics and where to
look at who is and who is not licensed?

What role do armed private security play in some parts of the
Nordics and what will that mean for your operations?

What growth areas are being seen in the Nordics and what
should new operators to the region look for?

What drew you to being such an active participant in the BBA
and NABA?



About Claus:


A heavy experienced grey wolf in the industry. Director of
operations for Alfa-Protector Executive Security in Denmark.
Claus has 36 years extensive career experience within protection
of assets and people, armed forces and law enforcement. He
started up in the industry as MP K9 Handler and from that point
in his early 20s until now he has worked and educated himself in
almost every aspect of the Security Industry and has teamed up
with Industry legends as Christian West, Thomas Hald, Jan Thomsen
among others. Claus has worked on 3 continents and joined
protective detail deployments in Europe, the Nordics and 7 years
in Asia mainly in the Philippines.


Claus has had a short but well earned step back from the EP/CP
Industry for a couple of years- but in his words “it is a virus
in your blood, that you Can not get cured from” so Claus has
returned to work in the EP field.


He sometimes puts all his effort and knowledge into consulting,
CP/EP Work, individual tailored Close Protection courses, being a
tactical shooting Instructor, team evaluator and everywhere in
between.
