Zusammenfassung
"The International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO) has produced one of their most ambitious works to date: an expansion of their private security education manual published in 1988. More than two dozen contributors provided material for the book's 45 chapters of officer training material-much of it new..Topics from traffic control to hazardous materials demonstrate the manual's diversity of topics. The authors finish each chapter with a segment that discusses emerging trends, making the manual itself an asset to acquire and protect for any security professional." --Richard Petraitis, Security Management Magazine
