Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Continuous learning is required of security managers who are determined to stay current. The area of electronic technology, with its myriad of security applications, has practically exploded in recent years. The product of this rapid evolution is specialization, which can be both positive and negative. The usual experience of a security practitioner is to spend formative years in a relatively specialized area, such as supervising contract guard services or conducting investigations. When promoted to a managerial level, the individual brings to the new job a limited, one-dimensional viewpoint. To be a truly qualified generalist, professional security practitioners need an authoritative reference source to keep abreast.
