Employers of Certified Protection Officers

Many corporations recognize the Certified Protection Officer (CPO) program as a professional, comprehensive, and cost effective alternative or supplement to other security training programs. In many cases, employers have integrated the Certified Protection Officer course into their security officer training programs. In addition to being a liability avoidance factor, the program is extremely flexible and can be implemented in several different ways. More and more employers are recognizing this program and insisting that the CPO designation be earned prior to employment, or a condition of employment or promotion. The following is a partial list of organizations employing CPO's:
