Bodyguard in Marokko: So bewerten Sie Personenschutz vor der Unterzeichnung

Morocco is one of the safest Mediterranean destinations, but protecting a VIP, a prominent family on vacation in Marrakech, or a CEO on mission in Casablanca requires more than general country safety. Here is how to properly vet a close protection team.

1. Training: Non-Negotiable Foundation

Private security in Morocco is governed by Law 27-06. Always verify: annual refresher training.

2. Threat Assessment Before Arrival

A credible protection programme starts before the principal arrives, with a structured Threat Assessment covering: client profile and recent controversies, geographic context, route mapping, local alert networks. A serious company delivers this document before the mission, not on-site.

3. Team Composition

Single VIP, standard business trip: 1 agent. Public presence, children, multi-city travel, or extended stay: minimum 3 agents with defined roles, Detail Leader, Advance, Driver Agent. High-risk profiles: 5-7 agents with support vehicles.

4. Legal Framework and Firearms

Individual firearms authorisation from the Ministry of Interior is required for armed private security in Morocco, and almost never granted for standard civilian missions. Beware of companies promising armed teams without clear legal basis: they are either bluffing or operating illegally.
