How the CPP benefits me.

 Is a recognized certification that establishes baseline competence and credibility.   Also, indicates a commitment to professionalism. 

Value of the CPP

 Is an important credential when applying for a job, seeking promotion, or when submitting proposals to new consulting clients. 

Why should professionals pursue the CPP designation?

 Why Not?   They have everything to gain and nothing to loose.    A security management professional should challenge and test themselves.  A CPP certification will set them apart from all the others who either failed to try or fail to prepare themselves enough to pass the exam.  Success is the reward. 

Achievements

During my 28 years in the trade, I have worked for three major corporations in security management and have operated my own security consulting firm for over 16 years.  There is nothing more satisfying and financially rewarding than operating your own corporation.  I have written and published one book entitled Security Adequate or Not, three book chapters, and 75 trade journal articles.   I have been asked to speak over 50 times to various trade groups, and am a regular industry resource to the media on the subjects of security and crime prevention.  I have appeared or consulted on 20/20, 60 Minutes, Extra, CNN, BBC, WABC, and more.  I am writing a new book entitled Apartment Security due out in the summer of 2000.  I am the Webmaster for the Crime Doctorä web site at www.crimedoctor.com.   My security consulting practice takes me to all over the United States and occasionally abroad.
