Keeping the person holding the highest position in the land safe is a Herculean task requiring highly-trained, disciplined and dependable personnel. This is why a member of the PSG goes through intensive trainings ranging from firearms handling, close-in protection tactics, bomb detection and dog-handling to counter-terrorist action and combat assault. But what makes the PSG unique from other security personnel is that they are trained to give their lives to protect their president. They consider themselves the President’s shield.
