ICJS support for senior security managers
20 September 2005
Dr Mark Button of the University of Portsmouth Institute of Criminal Justice Studies outlined research illustrating poor commitment to training, education and professionalism in some parts of the private security industry at the 2005 Focus on Robbery™ Symposium.
Mark outlined how some of the activities of ICJS could address this gap. These included research on issues of importance to security managers that could identify ways of improving the effectiveness of security and ultimately reducing losses and improving profits.
Second, he illustrated how the higher education courses could also benefit, with a description of the Institute’s BSc (Hons) in Risk and Security Management.
Finally, Mark explained that training of organisations could be accredited by the University, giving it a higher status as well as providing exemption from some study.
