Manage episode 505144779 series 3606989
Host Bryndis Whitson welcomes Barry Davidson to Zebras to Apples for a discussion about the logistics involved in security, from hotel security to dignitaries and policing. Barry has experience in security risk management and executive protection, as well as being a POC firefighter. Early in his career, he recognized that having a knowledge of logistics was key to providing security teams for world leaders because it meant involvement in transportation, accommodations, and everything else. Barry tells how he became proficient in the logistics of safety, so he could offer a complete security goal for clients.
From getting an advanced understanding of the site where security will be provided to what demographics the hotel serves and how close the nearest medical services are, logistics proved vital to Barry’s security past. He shares stories from providing security for General Powell, the Dalai Lama, and even Leonard Nimoy. When he transitioned into providing security for pharmaceutical companies, Bryndis learns that he was surprised to discover how much more intense security is for a location with a cannabis license than a regular pharmaceutical facility. Barry’s insights into the security and safety aspects of logistics offer a peek behind the events we attend and give us a lot to think about in terms of how security functions in the places we visit.
