If a VIP is staying in a hotel, you should check that :
1. emergency exits are available.
2. incoming calls are screened.
3. valuables are deposited with the bodyguards.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

Security protocols for a Very Important Person (VIP) focus on physical safety and information security. Statement 1 is correct as identifying and ensuring the accessibility of emergency exits is a fundamental part of 'Advance Liaison' and contingency planning for evacuation during emergencies like fire or security threats. Statement 2 is correct because screening incoming calls is essential for communication security, preventing harassment, and neutralizing potential threats or unauthorized access attempts. Statement 3 is incorrect because professional bodyguards are trained to keep their hands free and their attention focused entirely on the environment and the VIP's physical protection. Carrying or managing valuables is the responsibility of the VIP's personal staff or hotel security safes, as it would distract a bodyguard from their primary security duties.
