Patriot Consulting Group

Preventative Measures Investigations (PMI) is committed to ensuring our investigators and executive protection teams receive the highest caliber of training and tactical development available in the private security and investigations industry. A key element of that commitment is our partnership with Scott Johnson, the President of Patriot Consulting Group (PCG) and Director of Operations at Patriot Ranch. Through this collaboration, PMI personnel gain access to elite-level training, expert consulting, and real-world tactical preparation.

Scott Johnson is a highly experienced security professional and certified firearms instructor with a distinguished background in high-profile executive protection and private sector security operations. His career includes serving as a Close Protection Officer for one of the world's top ten billionaires and a Forbes Top 5 CEO. He also played a critical role as part of the SpaceX Security Team, where he was responsible for protecting personnel, property, and mission assets during multiple launch operations, including the historic Crew Demo-2 mission. During his time with SpaceX, Scott worked directly with the U.S. Secret Service advance team and was involved in security operations during a visit from President Donald Trump.

Scott’s protection experience extends to a wide range of high-stakes environments. He has provided security for renowned spiritual advisors, high-ranking executives, foreign dignitaries, and even served as the team leader on a private protection detail for a visiting princess. His ability to lead, instruct, and execute in high-pressure situations has made him a valuable asset in both private and government sectors. As Vice President of Sales for LION ARMS, a licensed Type 07 firearms manufacturer and Class 2 SOT holder, he also plays a leading role in delivering specialized tactical equipment to security professionals and government agencies.

Through Patriot Consulting Group, PMI contracts Scott Johnson and his team to source high-tier executive protection personnel, conduct advanced firearms and tactics instruction, and provide operational guidance tailored to the needs of both our Executive Protection and Private Investigations Divisions. Scott’s ability to customize training programs to real-world threat environments ensures that PMI personnel are not only certified, but strategically prepared for a wide array of mission profiles.

A key component of this partnership is Patriot Ranch, a 100-acre private training facility in Florida operated by PCG. Patriot Ranch features varied terrain including dry range, forested environments, swamps, creeks, and CQB training zones, allowing for scenario-based instruction that mimics real-world operational settings. PMI agents receive training in tactical firearms handling, survival tactics, concealed carry, active shooter response, and high-threat protective operations—all within this expansive, purpose-built training ground.

The relationship between PMI and Patriot Consulting Group reflects a shared standard of excellence in training, professionalism, and mission readiness. By equipping our teams with advanced instruction under Scott Johnson’s leadership, PMI ensures that our personnel are capable, confident, and ready to perform at the highest level in both protective and investigative assignments.

Through this partnership, PMI strengthens its commitment to safety, strategic preparedness, and operational success—ensuring every team member is trained not just to meet expectations, but to exceed them.
