Motorcade Escort Security Services

Motorcade Escort Services

When senior government officials, dignitaries, foreign leaders, or other high-profile VIP’s visit a country, diplomatic protocol is required. This usually entails assigning them a motorcade with an executive security driver.

A private security convoy is more than just a swarm of black, heavily tinted vehicles driving in unison. It is a complex and well-choreographed dance that protects the celebrity and their entourage. What is a security convoy, and how does it operate? What are the responsibilities of the drivers? Everything you need to know is right here.

What Exactly Is a Motorcade?

A motorcade is a group of vehicles that transports and protects a high-profile VIP. They travel quickly and do not stop at any point along the way. While a presidential motorcade may consist of 40 to 50 vehicles, a non-presidential procession that is not part of a military convoy should consist of four to eight vehicles.

Its unique structure reflects the nature of the escort as well as its specific needs. Any vehicle that isn’t absolutely necessary should be excluded. All vehicles should, whenever possible, meet the same performance standards. Depending on where they are going and the nature of the potential threats, all aspects of the vehicles, including the doors, door panels, windows, and undercarriage, should be ballistically protected.

Once dropped off, all motorcade vehicles’ engines should be kept running until the VIP is safely inside the venue. They must also be started well in advance of the VIP’s return to allow the engines to reach their optimal operating temperature.
