**Disclaimer: Please verify course suitability with your state's licensing authority. Online, self-paced training must be recognized for credit. For information on specific state requirements, visit https://www.iasir.org/licensing, select your state, and refer to the regulatory agency’s guidelines.

Course Description: This two-hour class discusses how private security officers should handle crowd situations. We use the terms “crowd management” and “crowd control” as though they are the same; they are not, though they are similar. “Crowd management” refers to guiding the behavior and movement of crowds, while “crowd control” refers to the actions taken once a crowd has begun to behave in a disorderly manner. In other words, good crowd management can often avoid the need for using crowd control techniques later. The security officer's goal is the same in both cases: to get people to do something for their own safety and the safety of others. A ten-question "final exam" follows the class to see how well you have understood the material presented in this class.

(CIT is also sometimes referred to as "crisis intervention techniques.") There is a lot going on during any crisis situation, and this brief class cannot make you an "expert" in CIT. But by the time we are done, you will have a basic understanding of what you, as a security officer – not as a police officer – need to do in order to manage a crisis effectively.

Course Description: This short class has been created from a variety of sources, and is intended to help YOU, a professional security officer, detect fake identification documents. Government-issued identity cards and driver's licenses are getting ever easier to forge – and fake IDs are becoming ever harder to detect. Today's technology allows individuals to make very real-looking "official" IDs. There are more than 240 different types of state government-issued IDs in the United States alone! Every two seconds, someone's identity in this country is stolen – and 46% of all identity theft crimes are committed using a fake ID. Identity theft is not just a minor financial crime. Indeed, the two worst cases of domestic terrorism in the United States – the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 and the World Trade Center bombing in 1993 – were both committed by individuals using fake IDs. FBI statistics show that identity theft is a huge problem – and that's why it is so important that YOU know how to detect fake IDs.

For information on specific state requirements, visit https://www.iasir.org/licensing, select your state, and refer to the regulatory agency’s guidelines.

Course Description: The subjects we will discuss in this course are:

Fire Safety and Hazardous Materials

During and immediately following a severe emergency, the first priorities of professional fire services are safety of life and extinguishing major fires. They may be hampered by impassable roads, inadequate water supply, weather conditions, burning material and inadequate resources. Security officers play a very important role in fire safety by:

Preventing fires by locating and reporting potential fire hazards.
Extinguishing small fires before they become major fires.
Eliminating additional fires by removing nearby fuel sources.
Shutting off utilities, when necessary and safe to do so.
When a fire is beyond the ability of security officers to extinguish, security officers need to protect the safety of those endangered by evacuating the area and establishing a perimeter.

Basic First Aid

This module explains the active and important role that private security officers can provide to an organization during emergencies involving serious injuries to people. The goal of disaster medical response is to do the greatest good for the greatest number of victims. In a disaster, there will usually be more victims than rescuers and immediate help will often not be available.

In a disaster with many victims, time will be critical. Security officers will need to work quickly and efficiently to help as many victims as possible in order to save as many lives as possible. It is important that security officers be trained to provide treatment for life-threatening conditions, such as airway obstruction, bleeding and shock, as well as for other, less urgent, conditions they might encounter in emergency situations.

Campus Safety and Security

In this module, we will discuss the elements of campus safety and security and the role of a security officer. Campus safety and security mean different things to different people. The word "campus" has traditionally meant institutions of higher education, but recently the word has come to include K-12 schools as well. We will focus on college campus safety and security here, and we will primarily concern ourselves with the "legal" aspects of the subject – namely, what needs to get reported and how it is to be reported under the law.

It is best defined as “a gentle yet powerful way of persuasion.” As a professional private security officer, you have undoubtedly been in situations where emotions were running high, and the potential of violence was present. The goal of this class is to help you influence others to come around to your way of thinking without having to resort to violence. While there will not be any “hands-on” training in this class, we have a 90-minute video in our Resources that shows Verbal Judo in action. Knowing how to defuse a tense situation by using Verbal Judo just might save your life someday!
