Earlier this year, the International Foundation for Protection Officers -- along with the generous support of several prestigious donors -- embarked on a landmark research project, with the goal of discovering and collating data that would help lead the industry into the future.
Spearheaded by Dr. Martin Gill of Perpetuity Research, the results of the project are due to be released soon.
"The research project is progressing well, and is on schedule," Gill said. "The research team has been working on checking all the responses to ensure that they are authentic, this is a really important stage to ensure the credibility of the project. We are also starting the preliminary analysis, this is a perquisite for determining what form the more detailed analysis will take. Meanwhile the interviews with a sample of officers globally is progressing. We look forward to reporting the results in due course."

"This research project is so vital to understanding the current needs and efforts of frontline security personnel that ensuring the findings are accurate and without question is necessary," said newly-appointed IFPO Director Joe McDonald CPP PSP CMAS. "Though some of the respondents have cause extra work for the research staff, our timeline is still being met and we anxiously await the reporting results."
