Measures for Security Escort

1. Effective measures to be taken for long-distance material escort.

1. Security personnel executing escort tasks must adhere to discipline. They must strictly keep the details of the escorted items confidential, prohibiting disclosure of the name, quantity, destination, route, timing, etc., to unrelated personnel (including security personnel not participating in the escort task). They are not allowed to discuss escort matters with friends or family using phones or intercoms without confidentiality devices during transport; family members and friends are not allowed to accompany during escort tasks, no drinking is allowed during the journey, no arbitrary stops for shopping, no carrying of personal items, no arbitrary changes to the driving route, no solo actions during the escort, and no smoking in vehicles transporting hazardous materials; attention must be paid to the safety of personal weapons.

2. Preparations must be thorough. After accepting the client's escort business, security personnel should promptly and thoroughly understand the types, nature, quantity of the escorted items, as well as the transport vehicle, route, security situation along the way, departure time and location, arrival time and location, receiving unit and contact person, and the client's specific requirements and precautions for this escort task. Based on the quantity and importance of the escorted items and the client's requirements, security personnel who meet the conditions for completing the escort task should be selected to form an escort team. The escort security personnel should be thoroughly briefed on the task, methods should be clarified, and specific requirements should be presented. A comprehensive and detailed analysis of the escort activities should be conducted, a specific escort plan should be formulated, and practical emergency plans should be developed for various possible emergencies. The transport vehicle should be carefully inspected, security equipment checked, permits obtained, and commonly used medicines, daily necessities, and necessary expenses should be prepared in advance. Upon arriving at the departure location, escort security personnel should promptly contact the client to understand the loading situation and the location of major valuable items, and immediately deploy security measures.

3. Issues to pay attention to during the escort. During the escort, security personnel must diligently guard their posts, concentrate, and carefully observe various situations along the way, paying attention to any suspicious circumstances. Security personnel in the driver's seat should observe the situation ahead and on both sides of the vehicle; those in the back of the vehicle should pay attention to whether there are any following vehicles or if any escorted items have fallen. When the vehicle passes through bridges, tunnels, intersections, slopes, or turns, and the speed decreases, special attention should be paid to observing for suspicious persons and vehicles beside, ahead, and behind the vehicle. In case of heavy rain, snow, or fog, they should remind the driver to drive safely while also being vigilant about suspicious situations around.

4. Precautions for train escort. When escorting in a compartment, security measures are generally deployed at the compartment entrance; for special trains, the deployment should ensure comprehensive monitoring, mutual support front and back, and protection of key areas. The positions and distances of sentries should be determined based on the situation. The security team leader should generally be located in the center of the train to command, maintain continuous communication, and control a certain mobile force. When stopped, ground security should be strengthened.

5. Precautions for ship escort. For ship escort, forces are usually deployed at the deck passageway, cabin doors, and positions that facilitate observation.

2. Response measures for cash escort.

1. Security during cash truck loading and unloading.

(1) Security during the loading and unloading of cash boxes. The cash truck should be parked as close to the vault door as possible; if there is a courtyard wall, the truck should be driven inside, and the main gate should be closed before loading and unloading; escort security personnel should stand with guns at positions on both sides of the cash truck for observation. When escorting cash to or from a savings institution, one escort security personnel must first observe for suspicious persons inside and outside the business room, while another security personnel escorts the cash handlers in and out of the business room.

(2) Timing for using firearms. Security personnel responsible for cash escort may move around in a small area near the cash truck while loading and unloading cash; if confronted by armed robbers, they should immediately chamber a round and prepare to defend themselves. Defense must be aimed at armed robbers; the purpose of defense is to prevent robbers from approaching the cash truck and to stop the crime; security personnel should make full use of the terrain or other available obstacles to quickly target the criminals, ensuring the safety of cash and cash handlers; in situations where the disparity in forces is significant, they should immediately call the police at "110" while trying to contain the criminals to buy time for support.

2. Security during cash transport.

(1) After the cash truck starts, each escort personnel should be fully focused on searching for suspicious situations and be ready to respond to the vehicle's condition at any time. When the cash truck goes uphill, enters a curve, meets other vehicles, or slows down in complex road sections, escort personnel must closely monitor the situation ahead and on both sides of the road, with weapons always in a state of readiness.

(2) If the cash truck is forced to stop due to traffic obstruction, escort personnel should pay special attention to suspicious individuals approaching the cash truck with unknown objects.

(3) If the cash truck is stopped by traffic police for violating traffic rules, escort security personnel should proactively show the traffic police the inspection exemption permit issued by the public security agency, allowing them to note the license plate number, driver's name, and unit, and accept processing after completing the task.

(4) If the cash truck encounters armed robbery during transport, escort security personnel should immediately fire back at the assailants. At this time, the escort team leader in the driver's seat should immediately call the police; if the cash truck is not equipped with a satellite positioning alarm system, they should report to "110" in the incident area while directing the driver to move the cash truck to a safe area, quickly open the door after stopping, and use the door as cover to lie down and shoot at the pursuing assailants.

(5) No arbitrary stops are allowed during the escort; maintain necessary communication with headquarters during operation and report vehicle status using codes.

(6) When escort personnel are on guard, the standard action for holding a firearm is: personnel using handguns should hold the gun with their right (or left) hand between their legs, with the magazine fully loaded, but the chamber empty, and the muzzle pointing down. Personnel using long guns should enter the vehicle with the stock pointing up to the right (or left) and the muzzle pointing down, holding the gun at the piston area with their right (or left) hand; after getting in, the gun should be placed between their legs with the muzzle down, holding the grip with their right (or left) hand; after getting out, they should return to the hanging or aiming position.

3. Guidelines for escorting valuable items.

1. Valuable items should not be packed loosely or mixed; packaging must be sturdy and secure. Valuable items should be packed in wooden or metal boxes, secured with a crisscross strap, and sealed with lead seals at the seams to prevent loss or damage during transport.

2. Before departure, security personnel must ensure proper supervision during loading. Large, cutting-edge confidential products should be covered and camouflaged to maintain the confidentiality of their appearance.

3. During the waiting period at the station, escort security personnel must strengthen surveillance and may conduct necessary safety checks on vehicles and products.

4. After the escorted items arrive at the designated location, they should jointly check the lead seals and appearance of the escorted items with the receiving unit. If there are no losses or damages, handover procedures can be completed. Escort security personnel must not stop supervision before the handover procedures are completed.

IV. Guidelines for the Escort of Dangerous Goods

1. Vehicles transporting dangerous goods must meet safety requirements and have obvious markings; they should operate according to the time and route designated by public security authorities, maintain a certain distance between vehicles, and detour around densely populated areas; necessary fire-fighting equipment must be present in the vehicle, smoking is strictly prohibited, and unrelated personnel are not allowed to board; items that are prone to combustion or explosion when exposed to sunlight must have heat insulation measures, and items that can burn when wet must have rain and water protection equipment.

2. Strict inspections must be conducted during the loading and unloading of dangerous goods, and safety education must be provided to loading and unloading personnel in advance; when handling flammable and explosive dangerous goods, they must be handled gently to prevent impact, heavy pressure, tipping, and friction; security personnel should set up warnings at the loading and unloading site; lighting equipment is required for night loading and unloading.

3. Drivers must have good driving skills, a high sense of responsibility, and a certain understanding of the nature and characteristics of flammable and explosive dangerous goods; overtaking is not allowed during driving; speed should be controlled according to the actual road conditions, maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in front, and speed should be reduced appropriately on uneven roads; care should be taken to prevent items from shaking during braking; it is strictly prohibited for people to sit on top of flammable and explosive dangerous goods.

V. Precautions for the Escort of Highly Toxic Substances

1. It is strictly prohibited to mix highly toxic substances with explosives, flammable materials, or food. The transportation of highly toxic substances must have reinforced packaging and be securely tied in the vehicle to prevent collisions that could damage the packaging and cause leakage or loss of highly toxic substances during transport.

2. Personnel handling highly toxic substances must wear protective gear and must clean and disinfect afterward; loading and unloading must not occur in the absence of natural light or lighting; unrelated personnel are prohibited from entering the loading and unloading site.

3. If packaging is found to be damaged during loading, unloading, or transportation, it should be properly repaired or repackaged to prevent the scattering, leakage, or volatilization of toxic substances; contaminated packaging materials, transport vehicles, and ground must be properly handled.

4. Transportation routes should avoid busy urban areas and densely populated regions as much as possible; during rest stops, careful supervision is required.

5. Vehicles transporting highly toxic substances must be cleaned and disinfected afterward; containers used for packaging highly toxic substances must be thoroughly disinfected before being used for other purposes.

6. If there is a loss of highly toxic substances during transportation, the transportation unit must promptly report to the public security authorities and immediately take effective measures to recover them.
