Protective readiness
One qualification does not cover every role.
A close-protection specialist, Armed protector and protective driver require different current evidence. The assignment also needs an approved threat and movement plan that remains valid through the service window.
Verified identity and current PSiRA status
Protective Operations qualification
Role-specific Armed or driving evidence
Current first-aid readiness
Named itinerary and command owner
Fatigue, relief and working-time checks
Commercial boundary
Matching follows a confirmed plan.
LOKD matches and deploys only after the service plan and commercial terms are confirmed. Officer earnings remain separate: completed work becomes available for withdrawal only after attendance and payroll controls pass.
