Physical Security

The Physical Security series examines basic protection practices of layered security and defense in depth. This series is recommended for contract and proprietary protection officers seeking understanding and awareness of the physical security concepts of planning and conducting surveys, security plans, and access control measures. Physical security components of protective lighting, closed circuit television, electronic access systems, and interior, exterior, boundary, and volumetric intrusion detection systems are introduced. Today's security officer must understand advanced technologies, capabilities, weaknesses, and deployment strategies.

Each student will receive a Record of Training at the end of these programs. The student may then purchase an IFPO Certificate of Completion for $10.00 for each individual module, or for $20.00 purchase one certificate upon achieving the complete series.
