A new app, Protector, is making waves in New York and Los Angeles, allowing users to book professional bodyguards on demand. According to the New York Post, the service starts at $200 per hour and offers high-end security tailored to individual needs.
The app recently went viral after TikTok videos showcased its services, amassing millions of views. In one particularly popular clip, TikTok users demonstrated how they summoned security guards in black SUVs directly from a New York airport.
Personalized Protection, Premium Experience
Protector offers customizable security services, allowing clients to choose from a fleet of luxury vehicles, including the Cadillac Escalade and Chevy Suburban. The pricing structure varies based on customer requirements—more specialized requests come at a higher cost.
The app has gained popularity among high-profile clients, with requests for escort services to Fashion Week, luxury shopping trips, and VIP events.
Elite Security Professionals
Nick Sarat, the founder of Protector, emphasized that the app employs retired professionals from elite forces, such as the Air Force, who are licensed to carry firearms.
Currently, customers must book their security detail at least a day in advance, but the company plans to reduce response times to offer faster, more efficient protection in the future.With rising demand for on-the-go personal security, Protector is redefining the way people think about safety in urban environments.
