How the CPP benefits me.

The CPP has benefited me personally because it is an International Standard and shows people I am dedicated and involved when it comes to security. 

Value of the CPP

The value of the CPP is that many contract security clients require your company to have a CPP on staff and will only accept proposals signed by a CPP. 

Why should professionals pursue the CPP designation?

It has not been possible to receive a college degree in security per se, the CPP assures the consumer, colleagues and the industry that the person so designated and certified is a high achiever in the industry that person represents.
