Editorial Reviews

Review

Although tailored to contract providers, much of the information provided valuable benchmarks for proprietary guard programs, especially as regards hiring, training, and management. .leaving original chapters intact underscores Canton's point that bedrock security principles don't change. In sum, the result is an incremental improvement of a fine first edition. - Security Management --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
