The IFPO Career Center has been established as a simple, easily digested guide for persons interested in career options within the Security Industry. It is a public service outreach to help people with their career planning.
The Security Industry is Vast and Complex.
The media generally do not portray private security personnel accurately, choosing to interview public officials rather than security professionals.
The role of security in crime prevention, loss control, and corporate management often goes unnoticed, much like the unseen mass of an iceberg.
Understanding the full scope of the security industry is crucial for career planning. Knowing entry points, how to start, progress, and succeed is essential.
What Every Recruiter Should Know
Private security requires a specific set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes (job competencies). Understanding these competencies is crucial for employers, contractors, and society.
Since 1988, IFPO has conducted global studies to define competency profiles for all levels of security personnel. Certification schemes assess professionals against these profiles, offering an objective measure of competence.
Additionally, IFPO provides job description templates and professional profiles for various levels of security personnel, aiding recruiters and HR professionals at no cost.
