Security Personnel Vetting, Screening and Integrity Management

A single corrupt or poorly screened guard can open the door to armed robbery, cargo theft or an inside job that undoes every other control. This course shows how to build a defensible vetting and integrity process for security officers, from background verification to ongoing integrity checks. Participants learn practical screening methods that comply with privacy law while protecting sites against collusion and infiltration common in the African security industry.
