ABSTRACT

Why invest in security training? There are two reasons: (1) because education and training never stop, and (2) because security has come into its own as “big business.” As we move forward as a nation, there is a need for a better understanding of the security education processes that are available and required for the various types of industries now employing security personnel. The security business, like any other modern business, is getting more sophisticated and complicated. Employers are looking for agents or officers that are aware of and concerned about company liability, disgruntled workers, workplace violence, sexual harassment, cultural diversity, strike potential, and the increasing need for incorporating public relations into everyday routines.
