General Information

In New Zealand, bodyguards, often called "close personal protection" or "executive protection" officers, protect individuals like celebrities, executives and high-net-worth families. The New Zealand Police have a Dignitary Protection Service that provides protection for the Governor-General and Prime Minister. Private bodyguard companies frequently recruit personnel from specialist units of the police and defense forces. These officers perform duties such as threat assessment, close protection, and surveillance.

Government Protection

  • Dignitary Protection Service: The New Zealand Police run this service, based in Wellington and Auckland, to provide constant protection for the Prime Minister and Governor-General.
  • Foreign Dignitaries: The New Zealand government is responsible for the security of visiting foreign dignitaries. Their accompanying security personnel are not permitted to carry firearms while in New Zealand. 

Private Protection

  • Who they protect: Private companies protect celebrities, business leaders, sports teams, and wealthy individuals.
  • Recruitment: Officers are often selected from specialist units of the New Zealand police and defense forces.
  • Services: Their duties include close personal protection, executive care, security-trained drivers, and surveillance.
  • Professional terminology: In New Zealand, the term "bodyguard" is often replaced with "close personal protection" or "executive protection". 

TNG Security was built on a solid foundation of delivering high-level security.
