SEC 352 Security Investigations and Consulting

3 hours 

This course examines the diverse investigative functions that are unique to the private security domain yet complimentary to public law enforcement. Aside from the generic investigative tasks, such as interview and interrogation, witnesses and evidence collection, report writing and other documentation, the course targets those realms common to the private security sector by stressing investigative function within theft and other property offenses, insurance, fraud, employment and personnel crime and drugs in the workplace. The course culminates with advice on how a security office should be structured and how a security consulting business, using these investigative tools, might be built into a profitable enterprise.
