The SGI High-Risk Dignitary Protection Course in July 2008 is being hosted by the Laurens, SC Police Department.

This is a very ambitious and comprehensive 4-day/ forty hour training program. This course is designed to prepare operators for placement on a dignitary protection detail. Our course focuses on Diplomatic Security and Executive Protection in-country and abroad.
