Executive Protection in Palm Beach County, FL
Estate security, close protection and secure transportation for families and executives in Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Jupiter and Wellington — year-round and through the winter season.
Palm Beach County holds one of the highest concentrations of private wealth in the United States, and much of it is seasonal. Between November and April, families return to their estates on Palm Beach island, Manalapan, Jupiter Island and Boca Raton, the social calendar fills, and principals who live quietly elsewhere become very visible. Executive protection in Palm Beach is mostly estate protection: securing the residence, the staff, the guests and the movements in and out of the property.
V&D builds estate details around a written assessment of each property — perimeter, access points, staff and vendor vetting, guest arrivals and emergency plans — and pairs on-site agents with protective drivers for the evening events on Worth Avenue, at the private clubs and at the resorts along the coast.
Palm Beach County is also where many financial firms and family offices have moved their headquarters, around West Palm Beach and Boca Raton. We provide close protection for executives commuting between those offices, their residences and Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) or the private terminals at Boca Raton Airport.

Executive Protection in Palm Beach — FAQ
Do you provide estate security in Palm Beach during the winter season?
Yes. Most of our Palm Beach County engagements are seasonal estate details between November and April. We start with a property assessment, then staff on-site agents and protective drivers for the length of the season, with schedules that follow the family's calendar.
Can you vet household staff and vendors before the season?
Yes. Through our licensed private investigations division we run background investigations on household staff, contractors and new vendors before they are given access to the property.
Do you cover Boca Raton, Jupiter and Wellington as well as Palm Beach?
Yes. We cover all of Palm Beach County, including Boca Raton, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Jupiter Island and Wellington during the equestrian season.
Can you meet a principal at Palm Beach International Airport?
Yes. We coordinate with the FBO or terminal in advance, stage the vehicle and move the principal directly to the residence, club or office with a protective driver and, when needed, a second agent.
How quickly can a detail start in Palm Beach County?
Our base is in Miami-Dade County, about 60–90 minutes from Palm Beach. Short-notice details are possible; for season-long estate protection we recommend starting the assessment a few weeks before the family arrives.
