Prof. Dr. Stefan Goertz and Oliver Graf on the topic “Sports stars in the focus of crime”
Athletes are in the public eye. Social media multiplies their presence many times over. Does this increase the risk of them becoming victims of serious crime?
Those affected should be prepared for such a development. The authors of the German Police monthly magazine argue on the pages 29 to 32 that personal protection should be established as a relevant, independent sports security discipline.
Practice is good – Best Practice is better
Security guidance represents only a small, visible part of the facets and possibilities in personal protection. But even for the expert, it is not sufficient to know proven preventive and reactive measures.
From scientific risk analysis through conceptual development to successful implementation, strategic and operational consulting skills are also required.
Transparency Builds Trust
The demands and expectations for professional personal protection are constantly increasing. We have not only engaged with relevant developments and trends but have also implemented insights from a forward-looking and visionary perspective.
Our approach is based on the idea that genuine security enhancements only occur where scientific analysis, consulting expertise, and practical experiences from various security domains intersect.
The first step is a trusting conversation
Personal protection inherently requires a client-provider relationship built on trust and openness. Some information asymmetries can be harmful. It is advisable to engage with each other professionally and have a detailed initial conversation.
So, do not hesitate to ask us questions and inquire thoroughly. If time allows, compare and also listen to your inner voice. In the end, it may save a life.
