ABSTRACT

To reiterate, an initial assessment of your security program within your organization, along with personnel and their capabilities, is critical to the effective implementation of your intelligence program. Whether the Security Department is legacy, newly formed, or perhaps nonexistent in your organization, it is imperative that an initial assessment of the Security Department or security program be conducted to determine past practices along with present operations. With the past and present operations clearly documented, future strategic and tactical planning of the security program can be outlined. However, the initial analysis must include an accurate evaluation of personnel and daily operations to determine the capabilities and willingness to adapt to inevitable changes.
