‘s Interior Minister claims that Fico’s protective detail reacted “absolutely properly amid a rapidly developing emergency situation, and by doing so, saved his life.” But is that really true?
I’d argue that Fico’s life was saved primarily by virtue of luck rather than his security team. Indeed, that security team made a number of mistakes. Fico’s protection is handled by the Ministry of Interior’s Office for the Protection of Constitutional Officials and Diplomatic Missions. Judged against mostsecurity details, Fico appears to have a sizable shift complement assigned to him at any one time: at least and likely more than ten security officers in and around Fico’s person. This meets the minimum requirements for a protective detail in which every officer has an assigned role to mitigate key attack scenarios.
The next problem arises when Fico is carried to his car. The rear door to the car is not held open in anticipation of an attack. This is an important tactic always employed by the Secret Service in that an armored vehicle offers an immediate stronghold position in the event of an attack the scale and quality of which is unclear. It’s also unclear whether a driver is already present, ready to speed Fico away.
Put simply, it’s positive that Fico has survived. But this experience underlines why effective protective security requires a lot of training , resources and anticipation of the worst of the unexpected at all times. Their
