New app offers personal bodyguards and private motorcades on-demand in NYC

Safety is the new luxury in Gotham.

A new app called Protector will offer New Yorkers on-demand access to armed ex-military and law enforcement to chauffeur them around town.

“Ultra high-profile individuals like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have dedicated full-time protection teams in place, but for most people, navigating security options is more challenging than it should be,” Protector app founder and CEO Nick Sarath told The Post this week.

The app, which launches Tuesday in NYC and Los Angeles, costs $200 an hour for a Protector and a driver.

But the price can skyrocket depending on the client’s “mission,” and whether additional security, a full motorcade, or other specialized measures are necessary, said Sarath, 25.

Hollywood has overlooked a great movie script. "The Protector".

And of course, "The Protector Returns, Protector-The Next Generation, etc etc.

I have a couple of security guards with me at all times. One’s name is Smith, the other one, Wesson.

I wrote an app called Take Out to compete with Door Dash, just but kept getting calls for hit men. Can’t figure out why.

[Larry Lucido]

Smith made great cough drops, too.

[Billthedrill]

Yup, and Wesson made great cooking oil.

[Larry Lucido]

Yes!

$200 an hour? In New York City? as a driver?

That sounds like an ex-con with an illegal gat driving a stolen vehicle.

“I have a couple of security guards with me at all times. One’s name is Smith, the other one, Wesson.”

Mine are named Sturm and Rugger.

Hey! At least he has put his skills to good use and found gainful employment. These new businesses will be great jobs for ex-military. I can see this service popping up in Chicago, Atlanta, Baltimore, etc.

Did Hillary call yet?

[Larry Lucido]

I thought she was just ordering Arkansas cuisine.

Omni Consumer Products (OCP); we're practically the military

[Mark]

BLM is cheaper.

[Cold Heart]

Can you take them to New York with you?

Look on the barrel where it tells you to read the manual. If it is spelled that way it is non genuine:)

[Fai Mao]

I am a terrible speller. Autocorrect seems, at times, to make it worse.

KEEP THE NAME

CHANGE THE MISSION ????

[Cold Heart]

My spelling is no better than yours. I posted with FR humor in mind:)
