INFORMATION FOR BUSINESS MANAGERS AND PROTECTION PROFESSIONALS ON CHARACTERISTICS, TRENDS, AND FACTORS OF VALID PROTECTION TECHNIQUES.
Abstract
THE PROTECTION OF BUSINESS ASSETS HAS BECOME FAR MORE INVOLVED THAN POSTING A RELIABLE NIGHTWATCHMAN AND KEEPING AN EYE ON THE BALANCE SHEET. THE GROWING SIZE AND FREQUENCY OF ALL FORMS OF ASSET LOSSES, THE INCREASING COST OF SUCH LOSSES, AND THE COMPLEXITY OF COUNTERMEASURES SELECTION, DEMAND A SYSTEMATIC AND UNIFIED PRESENTATION OF PROTECTION DOCTRINE, AS WELL AS STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS AS THEY ARE ISSUED. THE PROTECTION OF ASSETS MANUAL IS DESIGNED TO MEET THESE NEEDS - A SINGLE SOURCE WHERE DATA ON ANY PROTECTION PROBLEM CAN BE OBTAINED. A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS IS COVERED IN THIS TWO-VOLUME MANUAL, INCLUDING MATERIAL ON SECURITY VULNERABILITY, SENSOR INTEGRATION, COMMUNICATIONS, THEFT AND FRAUD PREVENTION, AND THE CONDUCT OF INVESTIGATIONS. THE INFORMATION PRESENTED HAS BEEN CULLED FROM THE AUTHORS EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE, AS WELL AS FROM THAT OF OTHER PROFESSIONALS IN THE SECURITY FIELD, AND REPRESENTS COMMON OR RECURRENT CHARACTERISTICS, TRENDS AND OTHER FACTORS WHICH IDENTIFY GENERALLY VALID PROTECTION TECHNIQUES. DESIGNED FOR ONGOING USE BY BUSINESS MANAGERS AND PROTECTION PROFESSIONALS, THE MANUAL IS IN LOOSE-LEAF FORMAT WHICH CAN BE EXPANDED, UPDATED, AND REVISED WITH SUPPLEMENTS WHICH WILL BE ISSUED EACH MONTH. THESE SUPPLEMENTS WILL INCLUDE CASE STUDIES DEMONSTRATING PROBLEMS OR TECHNIQUES DISCUSSED IN THE MAIN TEXT AND WILL SERVE AS A FORUM FOR GUEST AUTHORS AND FOR WRITTEN INTERCHANGE AMONG PROFESSIONAL PRACTITIONERS. THEY WILL ALSO GIVE COVERAGE TO PERTINENT LEGISLATION AND IMPORTANT WORLD LITERATURE IN THE FIELD. A TAPE CASSETTE EXPLAINING THE MANUAL AND SUPPLEMENT SERVICE IS PROVIDED WITH THE TWO-VOLUME SET.
