鄭州成立首家“特衛”公司

據《現代快報》報道，昨日，我國首家經公安部門批準、以提供“特衛”服務為主的公司在鄭州成立，隨之“私人保鏢”業務也將納入公安部門監管。

去年2月，公安部頒發條例，準許保安企業提供隨身護衛服務。

該公司負責人呂文啟表示，“特衛”，即“特別隨身護衛”，成員主要來自退伍兵和少林武校的精英，還有部分是武打擂臺賽冠軍及體校畢業生，他們經過嚴格培訓，不但身手好，而且懂禮儀，可以幫雇主處理日常事務。

雇傭這些“特衛”代價不菲，最貴的提供長期全方位服務的人員，高達一人一年30萬。呂文啟同時表示，“雖然受雇于人，但我們絕不會充當雇主的打手，我們有自己的原則。”

First private bodyguard company established

China's first private bodyguard company was set up in Zhengzhou yesterday after receiving approval from government public security officials, Modern Express reported. Private security services will remain under the public security departments' supervision.

Last February, the Ministry of Public Security issued regulations to allow incorporation of security companies providing private security services.

The company's general manager Li Wenqi said bodyguards will provide personal escort services to ensure the employer's security. Company bodyguards include Chinese military veterans, Shaolin Martial Arts School elite, martial arts champions and sports school graduates. They receive thorough training in both defense and etiquette, assisting employers in their daily affairs.

Hiring one of these bodyguards can cost a pretty penny – annual salaries for the best full-time guards run as high as 300,000 yuan a year. "Although we are employees of our clients, we will absolutely not act as their hired thugs," Li said. "We have our own set of principles."
