Never in my wildest dreams did I believe that I would have to employ Executive Protection Officers (EPO) for writing a video game. Like any industry, when the value of a product exceeds the fines and penalties for criminal action to obtain that product, kidnapping and ransom or entrapment and other fraud crimes become a real risk for principal agents of a company.
The public perceives them as bodyguards, but they also represent observers and legal witnesses, escorts with security and paralegal training, and expert technical witnesses.
An EPO ensures that a person, seeking contact with an executive, does not attempt to deal falsely with the executive or allege claims that did not occur to compromise the integrity and good name of the exeuctive upon the very allegation.
In my field, EPO have become neccessary to deflect claims of sexual misconduct or communication after talent under negotiation for positions attempted to use sex or the threat of sexual claims to influence their hiring. Even though fabricated or the product of entrapment activity, these claims underline why I do not do interviews anymore and refer hiring to a vote of a qualified Board or personal assistant and require the presence of a member of the opposite sex of management grade during any interview. Direct contact is not permitted otherwise with untrusted parties, citing multiple threats and two distinct attempts in the last five years to perpetrate this fraud.
It is very disturbing when you must call a witness when an attractive woman approaches you, but given the pattern of criminal racketeering and threats following many applications in the area, it only makes sense. Up to and including the need to bring a professional associate to all public functions and events for my protection due to repetitious claims by persons engaged in a rich fantasy life or suffering from unrealistic perception of my purpose and commercial reason for being at concerts, performances, and events with friends.
Due to the abuse, the Board of Directors for Raccoon Technologies Incorporated declines to be publicly identified - citing physical stalking including two instances last year of confrontations at the home of one Director, resulting in calls to police each time and one arrest. As our former Director has also just had an assailant break into his home this December 2011, privacy measures for all our officers are extremely high right now.
The firm elected in January to employ licensed conceal and carry security staff and pay for the conceal and carry classes of all officers who will serve on the Board as a direct response to the criminal activity in the State of Oklahoma and Texas.
This does not send a good message in my opinion, but appears to be simply a sign of increasing lack of solutions by law enforcement to deal with organized white-collar crime.
