Security Supervision and Management Text

Demand for the Security Supervision and Management Program, which was developed in 1990 by the International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO), has continued to grow. As new components were added to the program, a more current, relevant course text had to be developed. Commensurate with this demand was the need for college and university courses in security, asset protection, homeland security, and emergency management. The need to provide additional web support for the book was also apparent.

The IFPO embarked on the task of completing a new text to fulfill these needs and engaged a team of professionals to contribute to this effort. The result was the forming of an alliance between the IFPO/Butterworth-Heinemann and some of the industry’s leading security supervisors, authors, educators, researchers, and consultants, who collectively contributed to the production of this text.

The book for security leaders is here. It serves participants in the Security Supervision and Management Program as well as students in other Foundation programs (visit ifpo.org). It also provides graduate and upper level undergraduate professors with an extremely useful companion text. Security Supervision: Theory and Practice of Asset Protection provides a broad foundation of knowledge, making it an ideal course text as well as a valued reference for protection practitioners and students alike.

Security Supervision and Management Program Objectives

To facilitate the academic and professional development of security professionals who aspire to enhance their leadership skills.

To deliver a functional supervisory/management instructional program developed to heighten each candidate’s ability to master the techniques of security personnel management.

To provide a meaningful accreditation that will lend professional recognition to those candidates who exhibit the knowledge and skills required to be Certified in Security Supervision and Management (CSSM).

History of the Program

The International Foundation for Protection Officers was founded in 1988. A dedicated group of well-known senior members of the international security community set out to develop a nonprofit organization that would address the professional training and certification needs of security officers and first-line supervisors.

Through the commitment and vision of these industry leaders, the IFPO was formed. The Foundation’s first and foremost undertaking was to develop the Certified Protection Officer (CPO) Program. Since the inception of the program, thousands of officers have earned their CPO accreditation, now the recognized designation for professional officers employed by proprietary and contract security forces worldwide.

As the IFPO grew, so did the need for Foundation leadership in addressing the professional development requirements of members of the security industry. Security officers earned seniority and often assumed leadership roles within their respective security organizations. The IFPO recognized that there had to be a learning progression, a better defined professional development/career path. The Board of Directors and Foundation administrators subsequently developed the Security Supervisor Program and Certified Security Supervisor (CSS) designation. In 2004, the IFPO Board of Directors elected to rename the program and it evolved into the Security Supervision and Management Program and Certified in Security Supervision and Management (CSSM). This title change better reflects the content and emphasis of the program materials.

Security Supervision and Management Program Logistics

In addition to complete review of the program curriculum contained in this book additional learning support for students and instructors is available at ifpo.org.

To complete the Security Supervision and Management Program, each candidate must successfully achieve a score of no less than 70% on the final examination. Once the applicant has successfully completed this process, he or she would be awarded a certificate of completion for the Security Supervision and Management Program.

The candidate may then may elect to proceed with the Certified in Security Supervision and Management (CSSM) Program if he or she qualifies. Candidates enrolling into this program must have 18 months of full-time security experience with a minimum of 6 months at the supervisory or managerial level. Part-time experience may be used to fulfill this requirement at a 2:1 ratio. Experience submitted must be where the primary job duties are asset protection.

The CSSM program candidates are required to select and analyze a series of workplace scenarios that describe on-the-job conditions which are frequently encountered by the working security supervisor and/or manager. Each situation demands immediate leadership action. Candidates must describe in detail the appropriate actions recommended to bring the matter to a successful conclusion. The corrective measures employed by the supervisor or manager must be supported from the contents of the course text.

Candidates seeking the CSSM accreditation must submit an affidavit in the prescribed form, declaring that the written portion of the program is authored entirely by the applicant seeking accreditation.

The CSSM certification committee will review the scenarios and application along with the candidate’s complete file to determine eligibility for the certification.

Conclusion

The Foundation has developed an important relationship with Butterworth–Heinemann (BH), who have responded positively to the need to recognize the working security professional as well as those studying asset protection in colleges and universities. Without the continued support of BH, it would be difficult for the IFPO to exercise its mandate of providing professional development opportunities to the rapidly...
