Review :
"The authors do a masterful job of taking the reader on a journey through various contingencies, and stress the importance of being proactive through key loss prevention programs, security awareness training, and developing strategic, tactical, and annual plans to combat risk and mitigate losses." --ASIS "The authors do a masterful job of taking the reader on a journey through various contingencies... Chapter after chapter, the authors emphasize that planning and preparedness strengthen the organization's overall security program and keenly integrate all layers within the organization. The Manager's Handbook for Corporate Security is a must for any serious security professional and would be a valued addition to any security leader's professional bookshelf." --Security Management
