Close protection
An officer or a team sized around your profile and your programme. Close protection.
Executive protection in Miami, prepared around your stay: the winter season, Art Basel, a private villa or a week of meetings in Brickell. Close protection, chauffeurs, audits and technical sweeps, sized after a first conversation.
Discuss your requirements ↗What most clients need is a stay that has been thought through.
A bodyguard in Miami is often requested for a season, an event or a short business trip. The request is simple; the preparation behind it is what makes the difference. Praetorian looks at who is travelling, where you will stay, how you will move and which moments carry more exposure.
Every assignment rests on four principles: anticipation, discretion, availability and adaptability. In a city where public life happens outdoors, on terraces, beaches and rooftops, discretion is not a style choice. It is what allows a family to enjoy its stay without feeling watched.
The approach is proportionate. Praetorian may advise fewer officers or vehicles than first imagined, because a lighter arrangement often fits Miami better and attracts less attention.
Miami changes with the calendar more than most cities. Preparation follows those rhythms.
Commercial flights land at Miami International Airport or at Fort Lauderdale's international airport in Broward County, north of the city. Private flights use business aviation airports across Miami Dade and Broward counties, such as Miami Executive Airport or Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. The choice affects the route, the timing and the meeting point, so it is part of the plan from the first exchange.
Brickell, Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, Coral Gables and Key Biscayne each have their own pace and access. Moving between the mainland and the beach depends on a small number of causeways, which makes timing and alternative routes worth planning, especially in the evening.
| Moment | What changes | What we prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Winter season, roughly December to April | Busier hotels, restaurants and roads | Bookings, arrival windows, chauffeur timing |
| Art Basel Miami Beach, early December | Dense programme of fairs, dinners and private views | Transfers between venues, discreet arrivals |
| Miami Music Week, March | Crowds and late evenings in Miami Beach and downtown | Evening routes and realistic margins |
| Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, spring | Traffic toward Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens | Transport plan and access timing |
| Atlantic hurricane season, June to November | Weather can change travel plans quickly | Flexible schedules and fallback options |
There is no long form to fill in. Your email, your destination and a few lines are enough to start.
Many clients combine services in the same request: protection and a chauffeur, or an audit of a rented residence followed by a technical sweep. One message can cover all of them.
Each one can be requested on its own or as part of a single assignment.

Praetorian Risk Management LLC is registered in Florida. Its European partner operates from France.
In Florida, private security licensing is administered by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Each arrangement is prepared within the rules that apply where it takes place, with appropriately licensed resources where the law requires them.
Most of Praetorian's clients are based outside France. For them, the value is continuity: the same counterpart can prepare a winter in Miami, a week in Paris and a stay in London, while each assignment follows local requirements.
Discretion covers information as well as presence. Itineraries and addresses are shared only with those who need them, and client names are never published.
Answers to the questions most often asked before a first request.
There is no fixed rate card. The price depends on the number of people, the hours covered, the duration, the locations, the vehicles and any technical sweep. Praetorian prepares a proposal after a first exchange on your stay, and it may recommend fewer resources than you expected.
Praetorian Risk Management LLC is registered in Florida and works in partnership with Praetorian Close Protection & Support Service in Europe. Assignments are prepared with you and coordinated with the resources your request requires.
Requests linked to major events are welcome, and they are best sent early. Hotels, transport and schedules tighten during these weeks. The arrangement is defined after studying your programme, your venues and the people attending with you.
Yes. Chauffeur service is a service in its own right and can be arranged alone or with close protection. The vehicle, timing and itinerary are agreed for your request, without a promise of a particular model.
Arrivals are part of the plan, whether you land at Miami International, Fort Lauderdale's international airport or a business aviation airport in the area. The meeting point, the vehicle and the route are agreed and confirmed for your assignment.
Yes. A security audit reviews access, surroundings and practical weaknesses of a residence, and a technical sweep searches for hidden microphones and cameras with Praetorian's own equipment. Both are scoped before the visit.
