Experience & Expertise
In today’s changing threat-scape, security is of growing concern, even for organizations, individuals, and regions historically free of such challenges. In a world where both humanitarians and businesses alike are increasingly targeted, Sanctuary’s mission is to train and protect those who would go out into the world to make it a better place. Our team is made up of long-time professionals who understand and support the spirit and conviction of those who venture into unknown lands, and we understand the responsibility of equipping and enabling those who would travel into areas of risk.

Digest 2 – Remove Your Mask
First of all be you! Every training I go to or ever went to; I try very hard to be me, to take off any masks, and put ego aside. Be good at what I’m good at, know what I’m not good at and accept that there is always room for improvement on both. As a former Special...
