In this episode, we sit down with Kevin Dye, a seasoned expert in Dignitary and Executive Protection. Kevin's career began as an enlisted Air Force defender, where he honed skills in both defensive and law enforcement missions. His transition to the U.S. Secret Service was natural, as both entities share a dual mission of law enforcement and protection. Kevin served with distinction in the Secret Service for over two decades, including in the elite Presidential Protective Division, safeguarding Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, among other high-profile dignitaries.
Kevin now works as a Senior Manager in private executive protection and serves on the Board of Executive Protection Professionals, helping shape the ANSI standards for executive protection.
