Media Protection & Field Security
Reporting the news shouldn’t be dangerous work
Journalism is essential, but in today’s polarized climate, it is also dangerous. News crews face threats from hostile crowds, targeted harassment, and equipment theft. Honeybadger Solutions LLC delivers a dedicated Media Protection division. We allow your reporters and camera operators to stay focused on getting the shot and telling the story, while we manage the environment around them. We are the “eyes in the back of your head.”
Our Media Security Capabilities
1. News Crew Field Safety
- Protest & Civil Unrest Coverage: We deploy crowd-dynamics experts to extract crews safely when a peaceful protest escalates into violence.
- Crime Scene Perimeter: Seccuring your live-shot location near active crime scenes, ensuring compliance with police tape boundaries while keeping the public away from your talent.
- Live Shot Security: A dedicated guard placed just off-camera during live broadcasts to prevent videobombing or physical attacks on the reporter.
2. High-Profile Journalist Protection
- Close Protection (Bodyguards): Plainclothes protection for on-air talent who have received death threats or stalking attention.
- Travel Security: Risk assessments and professional accompaniment for journalists traveling to dangerous or remote areas of Arizona and the border region.
3. Equipment & Vehicle Security
- Satellite Truck Protection: These vehicles are expensive and at risk. We watch the truck while the engineer works inside.
- Gear Watch: Ensuring cameras, tripods, and audio gear are not stolen during setup and breakdown.
Why Media Outlets Choose Honeybadger
- Discreet Presence: We understand how to remain unobtrusive. We are there to protect, not to be part of the news.
