There are many females who want to work in the field of protection. There is a trend in hiring female close protection officers for the companies and individuals that need them.

Female close protection officers are not common in the industry, but for some reason, that is beginning to change. Female close protection officers are often hired because they are more understanding to the needs of their clients and can understand emotional responses better than men.
