On the latest episode of the Wheels Up podcast Ben and Troy welcome on Patrick Kane to chat about Travel Risk Management. Patrick is an Ex-US Marine Corps Infantry Officer with over 2 decades of experience in the private security sector. He is also the President of the Corporate Executive Protection Leadership Council (CEPLC) and the Chair of the ASIS International Santa Barbara Ventura Chapter #21. He recently led ASIS International’s establishment of a Travel Risk Working Group. Additionally, Patrick served as the OSAC Aviation Security Working Group’s Chair Emeritus and Past Chair. With a focus on risk mitigation methods, hotel security surveys, airport security assessments, international security challenges, threat assessments, and security program development, Kane works closely with local national security providers.
The guys talk about how operators can effectively manage a principal, how crucial it is to comprehend the politics and activities in a neighbourhood rather than just the nation at large, how to set up multiple channels of communication with your team, and how to build a network of reliable people in various places. Patrick emphasises the need of understanding appropriate attitude and attire in specific regions and communicating any potential hazards to the principal and their staff. He has visited more than 70 nations and amassed a vast amount of knowledge that has enabled him to comprehend the norms, patterns, and irregularities of criminal activity in each given area.
Patrick authored the book Practical Security Training, which Butterworth-Heinemann published.
