Uncertainty. Aside from fear, anxiety and frustration, looming over the coronavirus pandemic is a feeling of uncertainty. Businesses -- forced to shut down, are uncertain when they will reopen and what the demand for them will be once virus sanctions have been lifted  -- have had to lay off numerous employees. Those include security professionals, who are now uncertain about their future.

As first responders, security professionals provide an important role in society. It is the IFPO's hope in these trying times that they sustain their resolve so that when this is over, they can get back to doing what they enjoy and what we need them to do -- protecting life and property.  -- IFPO.
