Who is watching your property when you are not? Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Test routes at the real time of day. - Always have an alternative. - Know safe stops and hospitals. Quick answer Route planning is the core of escort work. The team drives the route in advance at the same time of day, notes choke points, identifies alternatives, safe stops, hospitals and police posts, and agrees what happens if the route is blocked. Good planning means the trip itself is uneventful.
