PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK TO DEVELOP STANDARDS FOR INDUSTRIAL SECURITY THROUGH SCREENING OF POTENTIAL EMPLOYEES AND ADEQUATE INVESTIGATION OF ACTIVITIES ON THE PART OF EMPLOYEES THAT ARE IN VIOLATION OF COMPANY RULES.

Abstract

SECURITY OFFICERS HAVE LONG RECOGNIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF PERSONNEL SECURITY IN INDUSTRIAL SECURITY PROGRAMS. THE DESIRABILITY OF ELIMINATING APPLICANTS WITH POOR REPUTATIONS AND UNDESIRABLE BACKGROUNDS IS OBVIOUS. BY KEEPING SUCH PEOPLE OUT, MANY FUTURE SECURITY PROBLEMS ARE PREVENTED. THE NECESSITY OF OBTAINING ALL OF THE FACTS CONCERNING WRONGDOING ON THE PART OF EMPLOYEES AFFECTING COMPANY BUSINESS IS ALSO APPARENT. AN EXPERIENCED AND WELL-TRAINED SECURITY ORGANIZATION, COORDINATING ITS EFFORTS WITH TOP MANAGEMENT AND PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATORS, IS MANDATORY. THIS MANUAL PROVIDES A GENERAL FRAMEWORK WHICH MAY BE USED TO SUPPORT A MORE COMPLETE AND DETAILED SET OF STANDARDS AS APPLICABLE FOR INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMENTS. FOLLOWING A DISCUSSION OF APPLICANT PROCESSING AND PRE-EMPLOYMENT CHECKING, THE AUTHOR COMMENTS ON EMPLOYEE MISCONDUCT, SOURCES OF INFORMATION, AND CLAIMS. ATTENTION IS GIVEN TO THE INVESTIGATION OF EXPLOSIONS, FIRE AND ARSON, BOMB THREATS, SABOTAGE, ESPIONAGE, THEFT, AND FRAUD. POLICIES CONCERNING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARE COMMENTED UPON, FOLLOWED BY A DISCUSSION OF THE INVESTIGATION OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS, THE COLLECTION AND PRESERVATION OF EVIDENCE, AND SEARCH AND SEIZURE. OTHER TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE REPORT WRITING, STATEMENTS AND CONFESSIONS, DRUGS, SURVEILLANCE, INFORMANTS, AND STANDARD ARREST RECORDS ABBREVIATIONS. (SNI ABSTRACT)
