In 2022, Intelligent Protection provided Close Protection for a TV commentary team at the European Cup Finals at the Stade de France.
Having covered their security for the later part of the competition across other French cities, the final in Paris had its challenges. The action of the police has since been criticised; the situation outside the stadium during and following the match created a very dynamic situation. Plans were changed quickly as routes out of the stadium were blocked off and roads closed.
Our team kept our clients safe and adapted the plan, briefing the clients on the move for successful task completion.

It is essential for clients to be aware of the Close Protection licensing requirements in France, as it impacts them legally. It is illegal to hire unlicensed individuals or companies for security services in France. Intelligent Protection International was the first UK company to be awarded the CNAPS license by the French government in 2017.
Licensing in France covers the Company, its Directors and Management, and operatives. CNAPS conducts unannounced inspections, and clients as well as security teams may face legal consequences if found working without the proper licenses.
