SCHOOL OF SECURITY AND PUBLIC SAFETY
|
The ASI School of Security and Public Safety offers a program that will prepare students for a career in the private security industry as well as offer an introduction to various federal, state, and local level security positions. The topics covered by Certified Protection Officer (CPO) program include; personal and cooperate security, crime scenes investigation, emergency response and protocol physical fitness, workplace violence, defensive tactics, officer safety, traffic & crowd control, hazardous materials, public relations, weapons of mass destruction, and surveillance. Additionally, included within the certified protection officer program is the New Jersey State Police SORA training.
Employment of security guards is expected to grow by 17 percent between 2006 and 2016, which is faster than the average for all occupations. This occupation will have a very large number of new jobs arise, about 175,000 over the projections decade. Concern about crime, vandalism, and terrorism continues to increase the need for security. Demand for guards also will grow as private security firms increasingly perform  duties—such as providing security at public events and in residential neighborhoods—that were formerly handled by police officers.
Employment of gaming surveillance officers is expected to grow by 34 percent between 2006 and 2016, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. Casinos will continue to hire more surveillance officers as more States legalize gambling and as the number of casinos increases in States where gambling is already
legal. In addition, casino security forces will employ more technically trained personnel as technology becomes increasingly important in thwarting casino cheating and theft.
At ASI we understand that many of are students are returning to the classroom after many years in possibly another profession or after raising a family. This can be very overwhelming in the beginning and in some cases can even intimidate a perspective student enough not to pursue a new career. To help ease our students concerns regarding the challenges of learning a new profession students are welcome to audit a class prior to enrollment, or ask to meet one on one with an instructor to discuss their teaching style and any questions or concerns they might have. It is our goal for you to be 100% comfortable and satisfied with your program at ASI.
