Executive Protection at UNC Chapel Hill: A Case Study in Commitment, Adaptability, and Trust
Chapel Hill, NC – September 1, 2025
Axios Security Group was honored to provide executive protection services during a scrimmage event at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The event drew several high-value individuals, underscoring the importance of preparedness and adaptability in today’s evolving security landscape.
More Than Just a Presence
Executive protection isn’t simply about standing guard—it’s about building a framework of trust, rapid adaptability, and layered safeguards. The assignment at UNC Chapel Hill highlighted how discreet yet firm security measures can ensure peace of mind while allowing guests and principals to remain fully engaged in the event.
“Even the boss gets in the mix sometimes,” said Jereme Dozier, CEO of Axios Security Group. “This assignment was a reminder that leadership in executive protection is about presence, yes, but also about demonstrating to our teams and our clients that we are fully invested in their safety.”
Adaptability on Campus
Events at large venues like universities present unique challenges—open spaces, public access points, and unpredictable crowd dynamics. Axios deployed a combination of on-site PPOs (Personal Protection Officers), advanced OSINT monitoring, and threat assessment teams to maintain awareness and prevent disruptions.
While most people think of executive protection as simply providing “a presence,” this deployment reinforced what proper protection is all about:
✅ Commitment – Our team tailored protection protocols to meet the unique environment of a live sports venue while minimizing disruption.
✅ Adaptability – From rapidly adjusting to shifting crowd patterns to ensuring discreet close protection, the detail was ready for every contingency.
✅ Trust – High-value individuals rely on Axios because of our proven record of professionalism, discretion, and a mindset that “Ever Vigilant” isn’t just a motto—it’s how we operate.
The Chapel Hill detail showcased the need for:
- 
Scalable Protection: The ability to expand or reduce resources based on live threat intelligence. 
- 
Discreet Integration: Agents blending into the environment while maintaining full readiness. 
- 
Leadership by Example: Senior leadership engaging directly with operational details. 
A Model for Future Engagements
The UNC Chapel Hill operation reflects Axios Security Group’s core philosophy: Ever Vigilant. Always Ready. For high-value individuals, public figures, and corporate executives, security must be more than a service—it must be a partnership rooted in trust, training, and expertise.
As Axios continues to serve clients nationwide, including in Raleigh, Washington, D.C., Dallas, and La Jolla, this Chapel Hill engagement stands as a case study in what makes executive protection effective: commitment at every level of the team.
