How the CPP benefits me.

 I have chosen to make Security Management my field of expertise. In doing this, I have found that I am competing with a vast variety of individuals with different backgrounds and experiences. I needed to find a way to showcase my knowledge and experience to the outside world. I feel that attaining the C.P.P. certification has done that for me.
Value of the CPP I feel that the C.P.P. is the certification that all Security Management Professionals should strive for. This Certification allows for all individuals, not just security experts, to understand and score an individual's actual experience and expertise in the field of Security.

Why should professionals pursue the CPP designation?

 If an individual is claiming and attempting to make Security his chosen profession, than he should be able to prove his knowledge and abilities to his peers. This certification allows for an individual to prove it in a manner that is not questionable. Once you have attained this certification, your talents and expertise will speak for themselves.

Achievements

 My latest achievement has been the design, bid, and installation of Electroglas new Corporate Headquarters in San Jose California. This $40 Million dollar facility houses a State of the Art Security System and Control Center. Anyone interested in seeing what we have done at this site, is welcome to give me a call and schedule a visit.
