A bodyguard is a professional who is hired to protect an individual, often a celebrity, politician, or business executive, from potential threats or harm. Their primary responsibilities include assessing risks, providing physical security, and ensuring the safety of their client in various situations, such as public appearances or travel. Bodyguards may work alone or as part of a security team, and they often undergo specialized training in self-defense, first aid, and emergency response. They may also use various tools and techniques to enhance security, including surveillance equipment and secure transportation methods, to safeguard their clients effectively.
