¶ … qualified candidate who demonstrates professionalism and aptitude in the field of private security, I urge you to consider the following BSCJA courses that I have recently completed with aplomb. Through this coursework, I have met and surpassed all program objectives, including developing enhanced communications skills, intimate knowledge of the discipline and what it entails, full integration of academic knowledge and hands-on practice, training and self-development through education, the development of proper conduct, professionalism, and codes of ethics, aptitude in research and analysis of data, organizational awareness and participation, analytical and problem-solving skills, and vision for the future.

As part of the BSCJA program, I completed the following coursework relevant to my personal and professional development. A course in organized crime introduced me to the origins of organized crime as well as strategies that law enforcement officials use to curtail it. Criminal justice, criminal law, criminal procedures and criminology courses each introduced me to various investigative principles, applications of the law, and complicated issues such as mental health and ethnicity. Courses like these provided me with fundamental groundwork that will be relevant to my job. An interpersonal communications course was instrumental in teaching an aspiring security professional to how to approach potentially difficult people and situations. I also took introductory courses in corrections and police work, information which will easily carry over into the private sector. Juvenile justice coursework was thorough in investigating the particular needs of that population. Additionally, BSCJA coursework in specific material including ethics, cultural diversity, research methods, organizational behavior, criminal justice administration, criminal justice policy analysis, and criminal justice personnel also coalesce to pertain directly to my future. Finally, an interdisciplinary capstone course offered a useful and comprehensive means to understand how all the program's various courses fit into the world at large. Goals of the program are to prepare graduates like me with a stimulating and successful career.

Thank you

During times where they are not needed, this would be a waste of resources. Instead, a PMC is there when the military needs it, and when the mission is over, the military no longer has to spend resources to maintain their personnel. Another benefit, although this is also the source of many ethical challenges as will be discussed later, is a PMC's ability to operate more freely than a state's

These devices can help to ensure customer violence is limited. Additionally, by investing in interpersonal training and dispute resolution courses for employees, companies can help to control coworker violence. Furthermore, the use of EAP (Employee Assistance Programs) for frustrated workers can help to provide some outlet for frustrations, further eliminating the possible problems (Hagan, 2004). Through polite, direct, proper communication, most acts of interpersonal workplace violence can be avoided. References ASIS.

Security professionals should know what that kind of cooperation entails and what the possible limitations are, and really what the professional expectations are for investigative cooperation, so as to not impede or otherwise hinder active investigations. While private security as a profession has boomed in many ways, there are some key ways in which the industry still lags behind. One of these ways is accurate data collection, data presentation, and

private security in the United States is indelibly related to U.S. history in general, for the simple fact that prior to the founding of the country, security -- in its most basic form -- was essentially handled by civilians. This occurrence was common before the colonies became organized and before there were official police or even federal troops. Perhaps the apex of this tendency on the part of the

Security management is "described in some quarters as a function of risk management," (Bulletin 2, Part 2). Although there is some crossover with public sector security functions, such as policing, security management is generally considered a private sector domain. "Whilst private security has a predominantly commercial basis, it should not be forgotten that it does interact with the public to a considerable degree," (Bulletin 2, Part 2). Security management is

"Yet earnings estimates have acquired a life of their own and often generate more attention from the media and analysts than a company's actual financial results." (Whalen, 2003). More conservative critics of analyst conflicts rules believe that they are a step in the right direction, but view them as a work in progress. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley bill, which mandated many improvements in corporate managers' financial practices, did nothing to
