How an assignment works
Frequently asked questions
Do you really operate in Dubai?
Yes, by escorting our clients from the French Riviera. Our officers travel with you to Dubai as your single point of contact; locally, services that require a local licence are delivered by a partner licensed by Dubai’s SIRA (Security Industry Regulatory Agency), which we select and coordinate. We do not carry weapons and do not sell armed services.
Why a Cannes company rather than an international agency?
Because your stays on the Riviera are handled by the company that lives and works there every day since 2014, with its own CNAPS licence, its own officers and its working relationship with the Cannes police — not by officers flown in for a few days.
Do your officers speak Arabic?
All our protection officers speak English. Arabic-speaking officers and female officers are arranged on request when you book.
How far in advance should I book?
We reply within 24 hours. For a stay on the Riviera, an officer can be at your side in Cannes within two hours and a team with driver within 24 hours; during the Festival and in summer, book two to four weeks ahead. For an escort to Dubai, allow at least seven days to set up the local partner.
How much does a bodyguard cost between Dubai and the French Riviera?
The fee depends on duration, number of officers, transfers and level of exposure. We provide a confidential quote after a free, no-obligation conversation. Every officer signs a confidentiality agreement.
Are you licensed for close protection?
In France, yes: PRIVATE CLOSE PROTECTION (SIRET 810 761 064 00015) holds CNAPS licence AUT-006-2114-05-15-20150479261 for the physical protection of persons, and every officer holds the corresponding professional card. This licence is not valid abroad, which is why we work with a locally licensed partner.
