Work LEC details. Bring the résumé to match.
LE Concepts staffs executive protection and security assignments in Chicago and nationwide. We hire people who have carried real responsibility for someone else's safety — who have stood post, handled a crowd, and can carry themselves in a room. Where you learned it matters less than whether you can do it.
Start your applicationWhere you'd work
Assignments run from single-day executive protection to multi-day event coverage. Availability is flexible — we schedule around your primary job.
Armed or unarmed close protection for corporate and private clients. Advance work, motorcade support, and secure movement through venues and public spaces. EP training or protective-detail experience expected.
Event and venue posts — gate and bag check, credentialed and VIP areas, overnight site security. Multi-day festival and fairground coverage with a supervisor on shift.
Where our people come from
None of this is a checklist you have to clear completely. If you've carried real responsibility for someone else's safety, we want to talk.
Law Enforcement
Active or retired — municipal, county, state, or federal.
Military
Veterans and current service members. Combat arms, military police, special operations.
Executive Protection
Prior EP or close protection work, whether corporate, private, or agency.
Armed Security
Licensed armed professionals with real post experience.
Protective Drivers
Secure transportation and motorcade experience. EVOC or equivalent training.
Investigators
Licensed investigators and anyone with advance or counter-surveillance work behind them.
Civilian
No badge, no service record — but licensed, steady, and serious about the work. Same look as everyone else.
What's actually required
Short list, and it doesn't move.
Clean Record
A record that meets Illinois standards for licensed security work. Every candidate is reviewed individually.
Confidentiality Agreement
A signed confidentiality agreement is part of onboarding before you're assigned.
Where it goes from here
We'd rather develop someone who shows up right than keep rotating through people who don't.
EP Training
Executive protection and close protection training for candidates who earn it. Coming from patrol or a gate post is not a ceiling.
A Path Up
Event and venue posts are where most people start. Consistent performers move into protective details.
Mentorship
You work alongside people who have run details for years, not a supervisor you never see.
Standards
Written post orders and a clear standard on every assignment. You always know what the job is.

Confidentiality
A signed confidentiality agreement covering client identity, locations, movements, and what you see or hear on post.
Nothing on Social
No photos, posts, tags, or check-ins from a detail. Personal phones stay away on post.
