GDBA's Mission: The Safety, Privacy, and Wellbeing of our Clients

A newly hired Protector in Washington D.C will earn no less than $60k in their first year with GDBA. Washington D.C-based Protectors could earn up to $80k in first year earnings when accounting for prior relevant experience, GDBA Training Academy performance, and promotion opportunities.

Who You Are:

Military, law enforcement, or experience in executive protection/security is meaningful, though not a requirement to become a GDBA Protector. We're less interested in what you are than who you are. Our most successful Protectors come from a variety of backgrounds and have succeeded because they communicate effectively, are physically fit, willing to learn, tell the truth, and enjoy working in a team environment.
