🚘 **Would you trust Full Self-Driving with your principal in the vehicle?**

It’s a question executive protection professionals may have to answer sooner than we think.

In the latest episode of **What Would You Do?**, Joe LaSorsa and Christian West discuss what happens when a client asks their protection team to use Full Self-Driving (FSD) while transporting them.

Do you trust the technology? Avoid it altogether? Or should EP drivers become experts at using it—while always being prepared to take control?

As vehicle technology evolves, protective professionals need to understand the systems they’re operating, their limitations, and how to override them when necessary.

**The technology may change. The responsibility for the principal doesn’t.**

🚨 WHAT WOULD YOU DO? 🚨

Who should ride with the VIP?

It might seem like a simple decision, but in Executive Protection, where people sit during transportation can affect communication, security, logistics, and the overall success of the mission.

Should the seat go to:

✔️ The lead agent?
✔️ The executive assistant?
✔️ A family member?
✔️ Someone else?

Or does every situation require a different approach?

In our latest episode of **What Would You Do?**,
Christian West and Joe LaSorsa discuss the real-world factors that influence this often-overlooked Executive Protection decision.

💬 Who do you think should ride with the VIP—and why?

📸 You've identified a person of interest.

You know documentation could be important.

But they've already noticed you.

Do you take the picture?

Or could that one decision escalate the situation and create an even bigger problem?

In this episode of What Would You Do?, Joe LaSorsa presents Christian West with a real-world Executive Protection scenario that every protection professional should think through.

They discuss when documenting a person of interest is the right move, when it isn't, and how Executive Protection professionals balance threat assessment, situational awareness, and evidence collection without becoming part of the problem.

In protective operations, being right isn't enough. You also have to make the right decision at the right time.

You're transporting your client.

Traffic comes to a stop.

It's easy to answer from behind a keyboard. It's much harder when you have only seconds to assess the threat, protect your principal, and make the right decision.

In this week's episode of What Would You Do?,
Christian West and Joe LaSorsa discuss the options executive protection professionals face in situations like this, breaking down the thought process behind vehicle positioning, threat assessment, communication, and protective decision-making.

There may not be one perfect answer—but there are better ways to think through the problem.

👇 We'd love to hear your thoughts.

What would your next move be, and why?

Most people think Executive Protection begins when the principal arrives at the hotel.

Experienced professionals know it begins long before that.

A successful hotel arrival isn't an accident—it's the result of planning, coordination, and advance work. From working with hotel management to securing room access and minimizing time spent at the front desk, every detail contributes to a safer, smoother arrival.

The best Executive Protection operations are often the ones no one notices.

In our latest **"What Would You Do?"** episode, we discuss why hotel advance procedures are one of the most important responsibilities of an Executive Protection agent and how they help reduce exposure while enhancing the client's overall experience.

Would you sign an NDA without reading every clause?

In executive protection, confidentiality is expected—but not every non-disclosure agreement is the same. Some contain hidden non-compete clauses, one-sided terms, or conditions that could affect your career long after the assignment is over.

In our latest episode of What Would You Do?, Joe LaSorsa and Christian West discuss what executive protection professionals should be looking for before signing an NDA and why understanding your contract is just as important as protecting your client.

Whether you're an executive protection agent, security professional, business owner, or contractor, this conversation offers practical insights that could save you from costly mistakes.

Have you ever been asked to sign an NDA that made you stop and think?

🚨 WHAT WOULD YOU DO? 🚨

You're working a solo Executive Protection detail when your vehicle is involved in a traffic accident.

The other driver insists on waiting for law enforcement and completing a police report.

The problem?

Your principal still needs to get to their next destination.

Do you keep them with you at the scene?

Do you find alternate transportation?

Would you put your principal in an Uber?

In Executive Protection, there are rarely easy answers. Every decision comes down to risk, timing, environment, and the client's needs.
