Executive Protection

AAES coordinates personal and event protection by engaging licensed Florida security agencies on a member's behalf. Florida's private security industry is regulated under Chapter 493 of the Florida Statutes, and offering security services directly requires a Class "B" security agency license held by the business providing them. AAES's own licensing position is under review; until that review is complete, this page describes coordination with licensed third-party agencies rather than services AAES provides directly, and makes no claim about armed services, off-duty law-enforcement availability, or any specific license number until one can be confirmed and displayed.

In practice, a request for protection is placed with a security agency that holds its own Class "B" license and, where the assignment calls for it, the individual officer credentials Florida law requires — a Class "D" for a security officer, a Class "G" for anyone carrying a firearm in that role. AAES manages the request, the briefing, and the point of contact on the member's side; the licensed agency is responsible for the personnel and the service itself, under its own authority.

Requests in this category also include secure ground transport and advance work — reviewing a venue or itinerary ahead of a member's arrival. As with protection staffing, these are coordinated through licensed providers on a member's behalf rather than delivered by AAES directly, for the same reason: the underlying licensing question applies to the category as a whole, not only to uniformed protection.

This is a deliberately narrow description, and it stays narrow until the underlying licensing question is resolved. AAES does not advertise armed services, off-duty police availability, or any capability it can't stand behind with a license number on this page. If that changes, this page changes with it, and any license number will be displayed here and in the site footer, as required of a licensed agency's advertising under §493.6111(6), F.S.

Coverage requests span all three markets and range from a single evening's protection around an event to a standing engagement for an extended stay. Regardless of scope, the process starts the same way: we identify what the assignment requires, confirm a licensed agency that can meet it, and stay the point of contact once the engagement begins. A member asking about this division should expect the same candor reflected on this page — we say plainly what AAES coordinates today and what remains pending, rather than describe a capability we can't yet stand behind.
