The election of Barack Obama in America has thrown into the spotlight the importance of security and why the security company industry, London and beyond, is in such high demand.

Security has never been so crucial in America. Alongside the terrorist attack of 9/11 and the wars in the Middle East, there are domestic threats highlighted by the election of Obama. Security services have already claimed to foil two assassination attempts on Obama's life - his presidency has turned him into one of the most guarded men in the world. In the UK, you can find a security company, London especially, that provides bodyguards or security guards. The rise of the celebrity and high value of fame has seen to that. With high profile celebrities such as Madonna who live in London, alongside the vast number of VIPs that pass through the city on a daily basis, it's no wonder the average security company in London is in such demand.

Security Company – London to America

But it's an unenviable position for a security company, London or Chicago, that has been given the task of safeguarding Obama. Attacks on American presidents is, it seems, part and parcel of the job, from the assassination of John F Kennedy to the shooting and injuring of Ronald Reagan. But Obama is a particularly vulnerable target. Obama won't just have a security company but the secret service tracking his every move – a crack team of agents will be charged with safeguarding him from what's expected to be an unprecedented number of threats on his life. His victory speech was delivered behind bullet-proof glass.

Security Services and American Presidents

Receiving 24-hour, round the clock protection from a security company can be stifling, but there are a handful of VIPs and celebrities that employ a security company, in London especially, to do just that.
Having a security company, London VIPs know, is invaluable, offering peace of mind and protection. But for American presidents, the suffocating secret service has impacted heavily on their life. Clinton had to give up his daily jog for fear of assassination attempts; Jimmy Carter felt fed up with security officials hovering everywhere he went, and Obama has said he dreams about driving – he's not been able to get behind the wheel of a car for a year.
