SELECTED ASPECTS OF THE ACTIVITY OF PROTECTIVE FORMATIONS

Summary/Abstract: The article concerns selected aspects of the activity, tasks and functioning of VIP protective formations. Protective services responsible for the security of the state's most important persons play an important role in every national security system. The system for protecting key persons and objects should undergo continuous evolution and successive modification in response to potential threats, including terrorist and other new threats such as cyber threats. Taking into account a historical analysis of successful and unsuccessful assassination attempts on heads of state (or other important persons) and the current conflict-prone international situation (hybrid attacks by the Russian Federation, the war in Ukraine, the Hamas and Hezbollah war with Israel, the situation in Yemen, and other armed conflicts), such protected persons remain constantly exposed to the risk of attacks on their life or health, particularly with respect to the most important representatives of NATO/EU member states. In order to ensure the security of protected persons, appropriate organisation of such formations is indispensable, with particular emphasis on their functioning and an efficient hierarchical decision-making structure.
