Well-trained officers can be one of the most effective risk management tools for security firms. Proper training can prevent accidents, improve performance and minimize the number of incidents that can lead to costly lawsuits.

As a result, many security professionals find themselves under-trained and over-exposed to risk, liability and litigation – exposures that can have significant impact on the cost and availability of insurance.
