Personal Protection & Executive Protection Services in Richmond, VA

HP Investigations provides licensed Personal Protection Specialist (PPS) services in Richmond and Central Virginia. When personal safety is a concern, a dedicated protection professional can provide a level of focused attention that general law enforcement is not structured to deliver on an individual basis.

We operate under Virginia DCJS regulations (License #11-15923) and approach protection work with professionalism, discretion, and careful planning.

When Clients Seek Private Protection

Common situations include:

Court appearances or legal proceedings
Elevated personal or family risk
Corporate meetings, terminations, or sensitive events
Travel or temporary high-visibility periods
Public or private events requiring discreet security
Situations where a known or potential threat exists

Protection can be arranged as a short-term detail or for longer needs depending on the circumstances.

Our Protection Approach

Effective personal protection begins with understanding the specific risks and environment. We conduct appropriate assessments and develop a plan tailored to the client’s situation and comfort level.

Services may include:

Armed or unarmed protection as licensed and appropriate
Low-profile / plainclothes protection when discretion is preferred
Advance work and site awareness
Coordination with local law enforcement when warranted
Clear communication with the client throughout the engagement

Because we are also licensed private investigators, we can integrate limited pre-event intelligence and observational support when it adds value to the protection plan.

Professional Standards

Virginia has specific requirements for Personal Protection Specialists. We maintain the required licensing and operate within those standards. Our focus is on prevention, situational awareness, and professional presence rather than confrontation.

Past assignments have included a range of personal, corporate, and event-related protection work. We treat every detail with the same level of seriousness and confidentiality.
