Introduction to Museum Security (Only runs once in 2013)
July 1 - July 26, 2013
online class
Hosted by Northern States Conservation Center
Course Description:
World events continually remind us just how important security is. The FBI and Interpol databases record thefts from small rural museums and world renowned art collections. The prevalence of collections lost to theft is brought home to us with regular sensational newspaper stories. And then there are the internal thefts, fires, and collection vandalism that also result in loss. Security must be a priority for every museum, regardless of size. Introduction to Security teaches basic, practical approaches to protecting against threats such as theft, vandalism, violent acts, natural disasters, fire and environmental hazards. Topics include selecting security systems, determining security needs and how to build affordable security systems. Screening, hiring, firing, workplace violence, policies and procedures and emergency management planning are covered as well.
Topics Include:
- Introduction
- Fire Protection
- Internal Theft
- External Theft
- Retail Theft
- Policies and Procedures
- Selection of Electronic Systems
- Emergency Preparedness
- Conclusion
Participants in Introduction to Museum Security work at their own pace through sections and interact through online chats. Instructor Steve Layne is available at scheduled times during the course for email support. Introduction to Security includes online literature, slide lectures and student-teacher/group-teacher dialog. The course is limited to 20 participants.

Are Your Officers Safe: Security Officer Life Safety
Sunday, September 9, 2012
Full-Day Workshop
Hosted by the American Society for Industrial Security 58th Annual Seminar & Exhibits
This full-day program outlines a threat that regularly affects private security, gets considerable attention when an event occurs, and then fades into obscurity until the next event. Preventative measures, threat mitigation, even remedial training is often ignored. Increasingly we are seeing tragic attacks on security officers across the globe. These events occur more often than we like to admit, and the time has come to tackle the problem from the ground floor. The security officer career is now ranked as the most dangerous profession in the U.S., with the rate of workplace homicide rising to roughly 50 officers annually. This session examines the issues surrounding attacks on security officers and provides recommendations for prevention and mitigation. Self-defense and arming considerations are also included in this interactive workshop.
The following sessions will examine the issues surrounding attacks on security officers, our best recommendations for preventing such acts, the tools necessary to enhance officer safety, and the methods b ywhich we may consistently protect private security officers on the job.
- Defining the problem
- Officer safety
- To arm or not to arm
- Self-defense
Attendees will receive reasonable solutions to concerns of officer safety through effective training and consistent monitoring.
Presenters: James H. Clark, CPP, CIPI, Clark Security Group; Stevan P. Layne, CPP, CIPM, CIPI, President of IFCPP; William Powers III, CIPM, CIPI,; IFCPP Advisor

Beyond the Basics in Security Management
Sunday, September 9, 2012
Full-Day Workshop
Hosted by the American Society for Industrial Security 58th Annual Seminar & Exhibits
Today's astute security manager needs to display skills and experience in a wide range of operational specialties. These critical areas include guard force management and training, electronic system management, fire protection, human resources, litigation avoidance, and more. This full-day workshop takes these elements beyond basic integration and system networking; fire detection and suppression trends and concerns; contract security selection, management and operations; and a number of issues related to legal considerations and litigation avoidance. A team of nationally prominent leaders present leading-edge methodology in this full day workshop, including an "ask the experts" Q&A session.
- Avoiding litigation in cases of negligent security, negligent hiring, and negligent retention requires adherence to established “standards.” This session outlines accepted practices in hiring, retention, and operational controls.
- The trend in guard force selection now leans more toward the direction of contract security. “Low bid” solutions may be dangerous in terms of operational efficiency, maintaining a high standard of service, and accomplishing the mission. This session covers the detailed process in determining the best selection and subsequent management of service
- Electronic Data Systems – Monitoring Considerations. The data from your electronic security systems can be critical to your organization. What you monitor and how you monitor these systems depends on your performance objectives. Whether you are a smaller organization utilizing the services of a third party central station, or have your own in-house central control center, this session will provide valuable tips to meet your protection
- Fire detection and suppression considerations and planning. Complying with fire codes and ADA requirements are not enough. A leading fire protection specialist will present best practices in making the workplace safe from the threat of fire while finding cost-effective solutions to system management.
- Practical solutions. Query the full panel of experts on any of the above subjects and join the whole group in working through solutions to attendee’s questions.
Presenters: Stevan P. Layne, CPP, CIPM, CIPI, President, IFCPP; Mark C. Peterson, CIPT, CIPI, IFCPP Technology Advisor; Nick Artim, PE, CIPT, CIPI, IFCPP Fire Protection Advisor; William Powers III, CIPM II, CIPI; IFCPP Advisor

This is a "how-to" session, dealing in very real scenarios and life-safety issues. You'll get "hands-on" information outlining what institutions need to know about dealing with critical incidents. Using examples of actual events and the solutions that have been proven under fire, the presenter will demonstrate the proper methods for dealing with a variety of situations. The session will also address the assignment of critical roles for staff, volunteers, and others, to assure that every area is properly evacuated when appropriate, and how to put into place a practical plan to deal with assembly areas, accountability of staff, and emergency service participation.
