- International Foundation for Protection Officers
The International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO) is a non-profit organization established in January 1988 to help address the training and certification needs of Security / Protection Officers and their Supervisors. [ [http://www.amazon.com/dp/0750674563/ IFPO (Multiple Contributing Authors): Protection Officer Training Manual ISBN # 0-7506-7456-3] ]
The IFPO offers several distance delivered training programs that can result in certification if completed successfully. Members of the IFPO then benefit from having an independent verification of the competence of those that obtain certification. The most widely known are Certified Protection Officer (CPO) and Certified in Security Management and Supervision (CSSM).
IFPO publishes a quarterly newsletter called "Protection News". Its circulation includes all IFPO members and candidates enrolled in either their CPO or CSSM programs. "Protection News" is designed to keep security professionals current on trends within the security industry. It contains information about physical security, life-safety, as well as personal and property protection.
