Scott Jones is the Founder and CEO of AMERINE Executive Logistics and a former U.S. Secret Service Special Agent with more than 25 years of experience in law enforcement, executive protection, protective intelligence, federal investigations, and private-sector security leadership. He served with the U.S. Secret Service from 1998 through 2015, including assignment to the Bush Protective Detail, leadership of a Protective Intelligence Unit in the Miami Field Office, and protective-logistics coordination for presidential and vice-presidential operations across South Florida, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America.
Protective intelligence is the disciplined process of identifying, assessing, and disrupting threats before they reach the principal. It combines open-source research, social-media monitoring, route and venue analysis, behavioral indicators, and liaison with local authorities. For private clients, it means a security program that prevents incidents rather than reacting to them — and it is the foundation of every AMERINE engagement Scott Jones leads.
Scott's approach to secure transportation comes from his U.S. Secret Service Protective Operations Driving Course training and years coordinating presidential and vice-presidential logistics across the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. Every movement begins with route planning, venue advance work, contingency routes, medical and evacuation points, and vetted drivers. The goal is not a dramatic motorcade; it is quiet, predictable, controlled travel that lets the principal move normally.
Every engagement begins with a confidential conversation about the principal's circumstances, travel patterns, public exposure, and concerns. Scott then directs a threat and risk assessment, develops a tailored protection plan, and — if the client proceeds — assigns a team built around the actual requirements. Advance work, protective intelligence, secure transportation, and ongoing operational support are integrated from day one, with Scott remaining personally involved in planning and quality control.
Scott vets every engagement and oversees protective intelligence, operational planning, and team selection. While day-to-day coverage may be delivered by a carefully selected team of vetted agents, Scott maintains direct accountability for methodology, standards, and client alignment. The firm is intentionally boutique so that senior judgment is not delegated to a rotating account manager.
Yes. Scott's career included protective-logistics coordination across South Florida, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America, and AMERINE now supports clients in 45+ countries. International travel security includes pre-trip intelligence, in-country partner vetting, secure transportation, medical and evacuation planning, and real-time operations-center support. Every destination is advanced before the principal arrives.
Confidentiality is built into the operating model. AMERINE uses white-label discretion, non-disclosure agreements, limited operational circulation of personal details, and carefully selected agents who understand that the client's privacy is part of the protection. Operational specifics, client identities, and methodology are not shared publicly or used for marketing.
