The eighth edition of The Professional Protection Officer contains 12 units and 45 chapters written by leading security educators, trainers and consultants.

Editorial Reviews
Review
“The International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO) has produced one of their most ambitious works to date: an expansion of their private security education manual published in 1988. More than two dozen contributors provided material for the book’s 45 chapters of officer training material―much of it new….Topics from traffic control to hazardous materials demonstrate the manual’s diversity of topics. The authors finish each chapter with a segment that discusses emerging trends, making the manual itself an asset to acquire and protect for any security professional.” –Richard Petraitis, Security Management Magazine
