Meeting the Highest Professional Standards: ASIS Guidelines

The American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS) has drafted guidelines for the training and selection of private security officers. These guidelines recommend 48 hours of training in specified topics within an officer’s first 100 days of employment. To meet the requirements, security officers must pass written examinations to demonstrate understanding of subject matter.
