Close Protection - Paris, France
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.
