Hello

This is the situation (its not real)

You visit a client at his house - you get a taxi as its only 10 minutes away but tell someone where you are and what time you will be done.  You contact your friend to let them know you have arrived and are with the client, you will be done by 7pm.  Your friend doesnt hear from you at 7pm he/she calls both your work and personal phone and has no response 15minutes passes and still no contact.

What should your "friend" do now?

Whatever you've agreed.

Typically that's
  • call the police
  • call the client's number (which they were given, weren't they!) and say 'put them on the phone, now, or I call the police' (this needs a pre-arranged code that means 'help' in a non-obvious way)
  • just possibly, go there themselves.

Yup!
Bullet point number 2 first, which, as security, they should have anyway; then 3; then as a last resort, 1.

Hmm, personally, I'd suggest calling the police isn't the last resort and trying #3 only if they're really close and someone else knows they're going - if an agency is supplying sufficiently butch drivers, for example - otherwise you risk there being two of you in trouble and with no other backup.

Which is what I'd consider to be a last resort.
If there's no other form of back-up and security can't get hold of either the escort or client, everything else has been tried, the police would be the final step surely.

My security people (as I have more than one) have these instructions from me:

1.  Call me if no answer on personal and work phone
2.  Call the clients number I have given them
3.  Call the Police and give them the information and why they are concerned

This goes for new clients for incall , as well as all outcalls.  If its a hotel then I ask after point 2 they call the hotel reception and voice their concerns so they can follow up.

Under no circumstances do I want my security person to put themselves in any danger, so I dont want them coming to my rescue in person.  Leave that to the professionals.

Its good to have procedures such as these in place before you take any bookings, and discuss in full with your security person(s).  So there is no confusion and your system works if needed.
