A typical deployment day at the CSD demo for personal protection
We have already been deployed several times at the Christopher Street Day Parade in Cologne. E.g., our client booked a bodyguard for the day of the CSD demo to accompany him through the hustle and bustle of the event around Cologne’s city center.
Unfortunately, major events such as these nowadays offer a target for offenders with different motivations. The motivations, as different as they may be, all have one and the same goal: to cause the greatest possible public damage.
Accordingly, the security guard’s focus was not only on directly escorting the protected person within the parade, but also on using the least frequented routes possible when moving through Cologne’s city center. Alternative routes were planned and an evacuation point was determined. The bodyguard also carried medical equipment for emergency care.
So far, all operations have gone smoothly and everyone involved has had an eventful day at this event.
