Founded in 1997, Global Protection Shield (GPS LLC) has been at the forefront of certified low-profile, high-risk personal protection, adhering to the strict guidelines for protecting persons set by the State of Bavaria, Germany. The inception of GPS was in response to the attacks on conventional security details in the early 1990s. Recognizing the necessity for low-profile close protection specialists in high-risk situations, the Bavarian Government necessitated the establishment of GPS to provide enhanced risk management solutions for federally recognized protected persons.
