There are few cases involving the negligent planning or actions of personal protection agents, such as bodyguards and executive protection teams.  Most of the litigation that falls into this loose category relates to security personnel or bouncers employed in lounges and is covered under the Lounge and Hotel Security section of this Web site.

Mr. Schmedlen is extensively experienced in personal protection matters having designed many executive protection programs for medium-risk and high-risk executives in both domestic and foreign venues.

Please scroll down to view Mr. Schmedlen's basic experience and history in the field of personal protection.

EXPERIENCE WITH PERSONAL PROTECTION AND BODYGUARD OPERATIONS

Immediately following the terrorist takeover of the Achille Lauro, Mr. Schmedlen was employed to evaluate the risk for 200 Canadians scheduled for an incentive cruise in the Mediterranean.  Additionally, while on site in Greece, he developed and managed a security program to ensure the safety of the group at the Athens airport, aboard the cruise ship and ashore in the Greek Islands, Turkey and elsewhere in Europe.

Mr. Schmedlen was the Protection Program Coordinator for Dr. Charles Kramer of the American Committee to Bring Nazi War Criminals to Justice during the deportation proceedings of Archbishop Valerian Trifa; the first Nazi (Romanian Iron Guard) in history to be deported from the United States.

Mr. Schmedlen has also created many executive protection programs per se, both domestic and foreign. However, due to contractual agreements, increased risk potential and insurance considerations, neither specific clients nor client companies may be identified. Subjects of these programs have ranged from medium risk U. S. executives, to high risk politically-involved foreign nationals and motion picture and television personalities.

In most cases, these programs were developed with input from specialists in this field.

On many occasions over the years, Mr. Schmedlen has acted as a personal protection agent per se for executives, celebrities and other high risk targets.

Additionally, he has thousands of hours experience providing personal protection during violent strike and riot situations.  Also click here to see Strike Security case title.
