CRJ 1040 - Intro to Security Systems

Institution:

Pennsylvania Western University

Subject:

Criminal Justice

Description:

The various dimensions of security include physical, personal, and operational measures. Security professionals must not only prevent unauthorized access to equipment, installations, material, and documents; and safeguard against espionage, sabotage, damage, and theft, but protect VIPs from kidnapping and assassination and employees from discussing operational plans from the workplace. All public, private, corporate, and government agencies face new and complex security challenges across the full spectrum of operations. Globalization and new security threats challenge security operations, and could include the control of populations, information dominance, multinational and inter-agency connectivity, anti-terrorism or counter terrorism, target hardening, VIP protection and the use of other physical-security assets as a versatile force multiplier. This course will prepare the security and justice professional to operate in any environment that requires a need for complex coordination and security measures.
