ABSTRACT
When rst assigned to a protectee, it is incumbent upon the protective agent to ascertain as much information about the protectee as possible. The protectee himself will often provide a good deal of information, or he may designate a staff member as primary contact for whatever information is necessary. It is important to know the
schedule of the protectee, the location of his appointments, the names of staff and family, contact telephone numbers (24 hours a day), and any known medical problems such as heart trouble, seizures, allergies, and disabilities. In the event of a medical emergency, the protectee’s blood type should be known, especially if it is rare.
