Dear Members and welcomed guests,

The ASIS Canadian Prairie Chapter is happy to announce the 2009 Certified Protection Professional (CPP®) Study Course for those preparing for certification.

Why do you need to be certified in security?

For years the world has recognized a need for competent professionals who can effectively manage complex security issues that threaten people and the assets of corporations, governments, and public and private institutions. As the emphasis on protecting people, property, and information increases, it has strengthened the demand for professional managers and is used more to qualfiy potential applicants for security management positions. 

Nearly 10,000 professionals have earned the designation of CPP®. This group of professionals has demonstrated its competency in the areas of security solutions and best-business practices through an intensive qualification and testing program. As a result, these men and women have been awarded the coveted designation of CPP®, and are recognized as proven leaders in their profession.
