Inside The Detail Add us as a preferred source on Google

Presidents, prime ministers, monarchs and other world leaders live behind layers of protection most people never see. Inside the Detail explores the real stories behind presidential protection, royal security, assassination attempts, protective failures and the specialized units entrusted with keeping national leaders alive. Each episode begins with a documented incident and then examines what happened through the worlds of close protection, psychology, intelligence and security. From the United States Secret Service to protective organizations in Britain, Europe, Asia and elsewhere, the series asks how different countries approach the extraordinary problem of protecting people who must remain both secure and publicly accessible. This is not a guide to defeating security. It is the history and psychology of protection, told through the moments when protective systems succeeded, failed or were forced to change.
