Foreword
A manager designs and develops security, physical security, safety and investigative programs.

This book is your road map to decoding and developing an effective security strategy beginning with the design build phase and addressing everything in between including life safety issues. Larry Fennelly and Marianna Perry have the knowledge and experience to see these complicated and ever-changing security challenges from a unique and multifaceted viewpoint. They both share their insight with the reader and that is why every security practitioner needs to read this book. Most security books focus on one topic, i.e., Risk Analysis or Security Surveillance Systems (CCTV) and access control and biometrics. I love this text because it has so much material in it that we need to address our everyday problems.
The baby boomers are retiring and the millennium generation is taking over. The face of security is also changing. Research is being done to advance the security profession to provide the highest level of protection while at the same time, increasing the bottom-line profitability of the organization. College courses are changing. Going forward, the combination of business as a major field of study and security or information technology as a minor is becoming the new norm. This change is being implemented to prepare security professionals to properly protect corporate assets.
The new buzz words from 2015 to 2020 will be the following:
1. What kind of skill set does the candidate/officer have?
2. What certifications and specializations does the candidate/officer have?
3. Both physical security and informational security will be merging with the move toward certifications.
4. Career pathways will be used by way of internships.
5. Your certifications will be the bar for testing qualifications.
6. Education for a career in security is being redesigned. Are you ready?
7. The holistic approach is preferred over independent components or silos as a logical approach to security systems.
8. 5.0 Megapixel cameras on phones and monitors with full (or true) HDTV1080 are standard.
Do not be left behind! Plan for the future now !
The top crime threat problems according to recent reports are (1) cyber/communications security, (2) workplace violence, (3) business continuity, (4) insider threat, and (5) property crime.
We mention this because if you are going to be addressing crime problems you first need to know what they are. To make recommendations and solve problems, you first have to make sure that you have correctly identified the issue. If a security assessment is not completed to determine the root causes of a security issue or vulnerability, the security practitioner may simply keep putting policies or procedures in place that address the symptoms and countermeasures of a problem and not the actual problem itself. This will be a frustrating (and sometimes costly) situation that can be avoided if, before any action is taken, an assessment is completed by a knowledgeable security professional to accurately identify security vulnerabilities. This will ensure that the true issues and concerns are being addressed, not just the symptoms .
The most demanding problem for managers and supervisors within a protection department is the physical security devices under his/her control. The supervisors role should be to assist in enabling the manager to provide a level of support within the organization. Supervisors must take responsibility for corporate regulations, moral and ethical tone as well as providing the required level of security and customer service required.
