Who covers the Protectee's door when the motorcade first arrives?

• A. ADV
• B. AIC
• C. PSD
• D. SL

Answer: (A)

When the motorcade first arrives, the person at the Protectee’s door is the Advance Team member assigned to that position. The ADV’s job is to establish the initial security perimeter and physically cover the door during the critical moment of egress. This ensures a controlled, safe exit path for the Protectee and immediate threat-blocking as the vehicle stops. The Protective Security Detail (PSD) provides ongoing close protection once the Protectee is out and inside the secure area, while the Agent In Charge oversees the operation and the Supervisor coordinates the team. So the door cover at arrival is best handled by the ADV because that role is built around pre-positioning and securing entry points during the transition from vehicle to destination.
