FACTORS TO CONSIDER DURING MOVEMENT

whether it be friendly or hostile.

FULL NORMAL MOTORCADE
VEHICLE ESCORTING PROCEDURES
A. The Threat Level
High Threat the Follow Car closely &
aggressively protect the Limo from all
potential threats.
Medium Threat Follow Car will less
aggressively cover the Limo.
Low Threat Follow Car will trail the
Limo providing coverage.
B. Traffic Conditions
Normal Traffic The Follow Car should have
enough room to maneuver to the left or right.
Heavy Traffic There should enough room
between the limo & the follow.
C. Speeds
High Speeds There should be enough
distance between the Limo & Follow Car to
allow the driver of the follow car to see the
near wheels of the limo over his hood.
Moderate or Slow Speeds The driver of the
follow car should be able to see the bumper of
the limo over the hood of the follow car.
D. Road Movement Techniques
Two- Lane Road
a) The Follow Car stays directly behind
the Limo offset to the open lane
b) When approaching intersections or
dangerous location;
1) Limo will move to the opposite
sides of the lane
2) Follow Car will move between the
object & the Limo; and,
3) the Limo and Follow Car will pass
the object intersection & return to the normal
configuration.
To confuse Surveillance Teams, change:
1) Routes;
2) Time of Departure and arrival;
3) Vehicle (stealth or dummy motorcades);
4) Number of people in motorcade;
5) Number of vehicles in motorcades; and
6) Configuration of motorcade.
E. Package Concept
- The motorcade operates as one
package not as 4 or 3 separate vehicles.
a) The Limo & the Follow Car drivers
operate together.
b) Both drivers follow the primary &
alternate routes selected prior to
departure.
c) Both drivers all know the safe havens
locations & emergency exit locations.
d) The Limo driver drives with the follow
car in mind;
1) When turning, the Limo moves
to the inside to allow the follow car to
block;
2) The Limo driver maneuvers for
2 cars ensuring that there is adequate room
to both vehicle to enter or pass before
actually doing so; and,
3) Vehicle movements are
moderate & liberate. Avoid stop & go jerky
movements of the Limo.
e) Conversely, the Follow Car drivers
operates with the Limo in mind;
1) Covers the Limo on departures
& arrivals;
2) Blocks the traffic to allow the
Limo to maneuver as needed; and,
3) Remembers that the Follow Car
is subject to the Limos movement.
f) In an emergency, the Follow Car reacts
with the Limo and follow its LEAD.
F. When stopped in traffic:
a) The Limo should be:
1) Positioned with enough space in
front to maneuver around another vehicle or
escape, if necessary; and
2) Positioned in traffic (offset) so
that vehicles on either side.
b) The Follow Car should be:
1) Positioned behind & offset from
the Limo, blocking traffic as needed; and
2) A sufficient distant from the Limo
to reach to threats on either side.

S U M M A R Y
1) Protection is a buffer set-up in screens
around the Protected to prevent an attack or
absorb its effects.
2) Protection should be an asset not a liability.
3) Protection must be around the VIP wherever
he maybe (Principle of 360 Protection).
4) Absolute protection is rarely impossible.
5) Protection must be surprise proof as
possible & flexible to react rapidly & to any
emergency; and
6) Protection must: ANTICIPATE, RECOGNIZE,
INVESTIGATE & NEUTRALIZE.

The Ten Commandments Of Human Relations
1. Keep skid claims on your tongue; always say
less than what you think. Cultivate a low
persuasive voice. How you say it often
counts more than what you say. Talk in
terms of the other mans interests. Be a
good listener.
2. Make promises sparingly and most keep
them faithfully no matter what it cost
you.
3. Dont ever let an opportunity pass to say a
kind and encouraging word to or about
somebody. Praise good work done
regardless of who did it. If criticism is
merited, criticize helpfully, never
spiteful. Give honest appreciation.
4. Be interested in others, in their pursuits,
their welfare, their homes and families.
Make merry with those who rejoice and
mourn with those who weep. Let
everyone meet you, however humble,
feel that you regard him as a person of
importance.
5. Be cheerful. Keep the corners of your
mouth turned up. Hide your pains,
worries and disappointments under a
pleasant smile. Laugh at good stories
and learn to tell them.
6. Preserve an open mind on all debatable
questions. Discuss but dont argue. It is
a mark of superior minds to disagree
and yet be friendly. Talk about your own
mistakes before criticizing other persons.
7. Let your virtues, if you have any, speak for
themselves and refuse to talk of anothers
vice. Discourage gossip and make it a
rule to say nothing of another unless it is
something good.
8. Be careful of others feelings. Wit and
humor at the others fellow expenses are
rarely worth the effort and may hurt
where least expected. Make the other
person feel important.
9. Dont be anxious about getting things
done.
10.Do your work, be patient, keep your
disposition sweet, forget self and will be
respected and rewarded.
Problems of human relations cannot
properly understood either in lofty
abstractions or when confined to their
extreme manifestation as social conflicts.
It is essential to recognized them in their
common place forms in everyday life and
then to trace their continuity.

success of the PNP (PSPO).
2.Peoples general attitude and opinions
about the PNP (PSPO) is a result of a
successful human relations program and
practice.
3.Good human relations is hard to develop.
4.To be a real success, human relations
should be our concern.
