A big congratulations to International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO) CEO Sandi Davies, who has been named one of 10 distinguished judges from around the world -- representing the pinnacle of the security industry -- for this year's Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs).
According to its website, the OSPAs "recognize and reward companies and individuals across the security sector. The OSPAs are designed to be both independent and inclusive, providing an opportunity for outstanding performers, whether buyers or suppliers, to be recognized and their success to be celebrated."
A bio about Davies reads:
"Ms. Davies started her career in security in 1980 working for a contract agency in Calgary, Alberta Canada. She was instrumental in the development of the International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO) and in 1992 was voted in as executive director. Since that time Ms. Davies has held numerous volunteer leadership positions with a multitude of industry related associations and organizations.
Having published more than a dozen textbooks relating to security officer training she has quickly become an internationally recognized proponent of professional development.

Since the inception of the IFPO the organization has expanded to more than 52 Countries. The IFPO offers a wide range of security officer, supervisor and management programs."
