Protection is not one service.
It is a coordinated operation.
Athena Universal Protection Services provides discreet, intelligence led protection for executives, public figures, entertainers, organizations, families, and high profile visitors moving throughout Washington, D.C., the surrounding region, and beyond.
From arrival to departure, every detail is built around the principal.

A city where visibility, access, and security intersect.
Washington is not an ordinary destination. Executives, dignitaries, corporate leadership, entertainers, public figures, delegations, and families arrive here for consequential meetings, major events, public appearances, private engagements, and high visibility moments.
Protective planning in the nation's capital requires more than assigning personnel. It requires understanding movement, timing, restricted environments, public exposure, venue coordination, transportation, changing conditions, and the responsibility of moving a principal through the region without unnecessary disruption.
AUPS protects the person while managing everything around the movement.
Four pillars, one protective operation.
01 · Protect the Principal
- Executive + Close Protection
- Entertainment + Talent Protection
- Visiting Principal + Dignitary Support
- Residential + Family Protection
Close protection begins with the individual. Threat profile, schedule, visibility, environment, family considerations, public access, and movement determine how the detail is built.
02 · Protect the Movement
- Executive Transportation
- Travel + Advance Security
- Arrival + Departure Coordination
Protection should not stop when the principal enters a vehicle. AUPS coordinates advance work, transportation, routes, arrivals, departures, and transitions so the protective envelope remains intact throughout the movement.
03 · Protect the Environment
- Event + Venue Security
- Corporate + Organizational Protection
- Security Advance + Risk Assessment
The safest detail begins before the principal enters the room. AUPS evaluates the environment, access, crowd conditions, staffing, routes, vulnerabilities, and existing security infrastructure before movement begins.
04 · Protect the Continuity
- Retained Executive Protection
- Ongoing Organizational Security
- Domestic + International Detail Support
Some protection needs extend beyond a single event. AUPS supports ongoing engagements where consistency, familiarity, discretion, and one accountable standard matter over time.
Fewer handoffs. Greater continuity.
Protection becomes vulnerable when responsibility is fragmented. AUPS coordinates the protective detail, advance planning, and executive transportation so the principal is not passed between disconnected providers throughout the day.
- Advance
- Arrival
- Protection
- Movement
- Departure
One accountable operation from first movement to final departure.
Training + Instruction
Firearms Safety + Concealed Carry Instruction
Professional firearms safety and concealed carry instruction led by TaJuana Cabell. Training information, qualifications, scheduling, and registration are provided separately from AUPS protective operations.
Tell us where you need to move. We will determine what it takes to protect it.
Every engagement begins with the principal, the environment, the schedule, and the level of exposure. Share the details confidentially and AUPS will recommend the appropriate protective structure.
