A big congrats to Sandi Davies, the International Foundation for Protection Officers' (IFPO) tireless and inspirational CEO. Sandi was selected as one of Security Magazine's Most Influential People in Security 2022. A well-deserved award for sure.

Here is an excerpt from the write-up:

Davies is outspokenly passionate about elevating the perception and reputation of security officers, and she has spent her entire professional career with this singular focus. The foundation for her life’s work was first laid when she was 17 years old, working for a security contractor in an administrative capacity. “I saw people come into the office, slap on a uniform and be sent out to protect huge office buildings or campuses the next day. It’s such an ingrained memory for me to see people that had little or no training be in charge of protecting such important assets,” Davies says. “I realized very quickly that this industry needed to be treated as a profession with standard curricula and training and garner a level of respect for the betterment of these working people.”
