Reviews for previous editions:
'Highly Recommended!' - Journal of Security Administration
. . .this is still arguably the best and most versatile training text available for the development of security officers. It should be strongly considered by security trainers, directors, college instructors, candidates for the CPO exam, and anyone else interested in improving their security knowledge. The book gets high marks for truly covering the wide world of security. -Security Management
