ABSTRACT
The developing complexity of the world marketplace, the technological evolution of goods, services, and the transference of money and other negotiable instruments, served as a catalyst to private security growth. The private security industry possesses an unflappable inertia that will increasingly weave its way into areas of public safety and security. Whole-scale security systems in the war on terror have come to depend on the private sector system. Physical security focuses on the protection of people, property, and facilities through the use of security forces, security systems, and security procedures. Information systems security involves maintaining the confidentiality, reliability, and availability of data created, stored, processed, and/or transmitted via automated information systems. In a general sense, the security investigator lays a foundation, a conceptual framework, upon which cases can be evaluated, decisions can be made, or eventual action and policy making can be formulated.
