Blue Hackle

Diplomatic missions demand professionals who understand personnel protection services and asset protection in ever changing, high risk environments.  Blue Hackle minimizes security vulnerabilities that may affect diplomatic personnel, assets and operations.  We provide services discreetly, professionally and globally.

UNDERSTANDING CHALLENGES

Blue Hackle understands the challenges.  Diplomatic missions can take people to high threat areas where the local political climate can be unpredictable and challenging.  Poor or contentious security can lead to political consequences that will negatively impact the embassy’s mission critical goals.  To ensure the safety of staff, visitors, high-ranking diplomatic officials and VIPs, expedient, on-site response from a locally trusted team familiar with high-risk areas is critical.  The security challenges of diplomatic missions may include:

• Challenging Environments.  Foreign environments, especially in war-related areas and isolated locations, are difficult to protect with open perimeters and complex physical security requirements.
• Protection of People.  Resources could be unavailable for the necessary movement of officials, foreign dignitaries, personnel, and visitors to safe areas.
• Protection of Compounds and Assets.  Threats to embassy facilities and assets could endanger personnel and lead to rapid deterioration of diplomatic relations within the host country.
• Cultural Challenges.  Misunderstanding the cultural nuances of a region could result in poor relationships with the local populace and governance.
• Logistics.  Securing the movements and communications of the workforce between government or life support facility sites are difficult without the proper situational awareness of security threats en route.
• Political & Economic Instability.  Destabilized regions present uncertain conditions that demand immediate response from a local response team.
• Mob Violence.  Demonstrations can lead to varying levels of risk that result in fluctuating degrees of security required.
• Emergency Situations.  Destruction of sensitive assets and emergency evacuations to secure locations outside or inside embassy compounds may be necessary in times of crisis or natural disasters.

PERSONNEL TO MEET CHALLENGES

Blue Hackle has personnel to meet the challenges.   Complex security requirements demand highly trained and knowledgeable personnel who can meet challenges from Day One.  We will provide mature professionals who are culturally acclimated and comfortable in the region and environment.  Since 2004 Blue Hackle employees helped successfully execute diplomatic security contracts in remote, austere, and high-risk security environments like Afghanistan, Iraq, and Africa.  Blue Hackle personnel will:
