Project Overview
Client profile
High-net-worth family, UK-based
Situation
Criminal organisation suspected of targeting an HNW family following a child recovery operation
Services deployed
Residential security, close protection, surveillance and protective surveillance
Environment
Private UK residence and surrounding areas
Outcome
Family protected without incident throughout the engagement; no security breaches recorded
The family first engaged Pegasus Ops after their child went missing abroad. A previous search spanning two weeks had failed to locate the child. Pegasus Ops located them within three days and reunited them safely with the family.
However, concerns about a criminal organisation’s involvement in grooming the child and planning a potential attack on the family raised the need for comprehensive security measures.
Our Response
With the child safely recovered and the family returning to their UK residence, Pegasus Ops deployed a comprehensive protective framework across four areas.
01. Close Protection
All family members were placed under close protection and escorted safely back to their UK residence. Operatives accompanied the family on all movements, ensuring their safety and privacy throughout.
02. Residential Security
Trained personnel were deployed to secure the family’s UK property, providing a 24/7 on-site presence to respond to any security concerns in real time.
03. Access Control and Risk Assessment
Comprehensive risk assessments were conducted across the property. Access control measures were implemented to monitor and regulate all individuals entering and exiting, preventing any unauthorised access.
04. Surveillance and Protective Surveillance
The child’s movements were monitored throughout the engagement to identify and prevent any further threats. Operatives maintained a discreet presence to ensure ongoing situational awareness without disrupting family life.
Operational Framework
Our residential and protective security framework for this project was built on:
Highly Skilled Personnel
All operatives were SIA-licensed close protection officers recruited from military and law enforcement backgrounds, with specialist experience in child recovery and protective operations. Each operative was trained in conflict resolution, emergency response and counter-surveillance techniques.
Technology Integration
Advanced surveillance systems, including a CCTV system with live monitoring, provided real-time situational awareness across the property. Secure communications were maintained throughout for seamless coordination across all elements of the operation.
Client-Centric Approach
Security protocols were customised to address the specific risks faced by the family. Regular reviews ensured the protective framework adapted as the threat picture evolved throughout the engagement.
Outcome
- Successfully recovered the missing child and ensured their safe return to the family
- Family escorted safely back to their UK residence under close protection
- No security breaches or harm to the family recorded during the engagement
- Established a robust security framework that provided peace of mind to the client
