ASIS International Announces 35th Anniversary of its Security Certifications

This year, ASIS International (ASIS) is celebrating the 35th anniversary of its security certification program. The program encompasses three certifications: Certified Protection Professional (CPP), Professional Certified Investigator (PCI), and Physical Security Professional (PSP).

"With the increasing mobility of security practitioners and the need to work together across functional areas and across borders, an established mark of professional proficiency is vital," said ASIS President Eduard J. Emde, CPP. "In this competitive job market, the importance of
certification to one's career cannot be overstated."

ASIS certifications are considered a worldwide standard for competency in the security profession. More than 3,500 organizations in 85 countries around the world employ ASIS board-certified practitioners.

ASIS will recognize certificants throughout the year and with special activities at the ASIS International 58th Annual Seminar and Exhibits in Philadelphia, September 10-13, 2012.

Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.
