No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You would contact long of the private security firms. Probably something like Northbridge.
Basically, those companies hire ex military and ex LEO, get them reoriented for security qork and farm them out.
A good deal? Depends too much on the threat profile, how big a team you need, how many areas they'll need to cover, how much you travel, etc. But expect to be paying out the nose.
Back when I did super low end security, as in being an obvious bodyguard to deter idiots, my rate was per event, as in you'd pay me to stand there at a party and make sure you weren't fucked with, then I left at the end of an agreed on span of time. A grand would be the norm for me back then.
Someone doing something under contract for someone like a singer, and doing essentially the same thing, you might bring in 50-60k a year, depending on where you are. Higher than that for high profile clients, or with a lot of travel involved. That pricing is pretty old though, so don't try and go negotiating a contract with that info.
Someone that's doing real security work? One person might have a base salary in the 100k range, depending. Someone with some serious credentials like having a background in government security, special forces and the like can go higher.
Generally, if your security detail is taking a bullet, they fucked up. They will, at least in theory. Individuals may or may not actually do so, but they hire people partially based on their willingness to take decisive action like taking a hit.
The few times I was in contact with people like that, they tended to be batshit fucking crazy enough to take a bullet for some rich asshole.
A CEO like that dickweed? Probably has a half dozen people in rotation at most, no ability to control everything, and may or may not be able to afford the hard core people that are out there in that field. That's going to run a fucking big expense per year. Not something they'd be paying out of pocket, even with the kind of salaries they get. If they want the kind of team that can handle even the unrealistic threats, you're looking at a million dollar contract, easy. That's going to be handled through their company, unless the company has an internal security department.
The goal of a security team at that scale is to predict possible attacks, plan for them, and prevent them.
The attack Mr Mangione is accused of, the CEO didn't have serious security, or the shooter couldn't have gotten that close. The client would have had meat all around him, watching for anyone moving into their defined perimeter. They'd have seen someone moving the way the shooter was, and at least have fouled the shot.
The CEOs out there now have whined and moaned into better security. Folks that have kept an eye on such things aren't seeing major activity from any of the big names in private security though. Frankly, they don't need top end protection.
