Question 1

Security practices and procedures cover a broad spectrum of activities designed to eliminate or mitigate the full range of potential hazards.These protection measures may include:&#10;A) Building and perimeter protection&#10;B) Intrusion and access control&#10;C) Fire prevention and control&#10;D) Emergency response capabilities&#10;E) All of the above

Accepted Answer

Security practices and procedures can include building and perimeter protection to prevent unauthorized entry, intrusion and access control to monitor and restrict access to secure areas, fire prevention and control measures to reduce the risk of fires, and emergency response capabilities to quickly respond to any security incidents. Therefore, all of the options listed are potential protection measures that may be part of security practices and procedures.

Question 2

According to various sources,security officer services,whether proprietary or contract,are being used much less due to the growth in use of technology.

Accepted Answer

The use of technology in security has indeed grown, but rather than replacing security officer services, technology is often integrated with human services to enhance security measures. Security officers continue to be in demand for many situations where human judgment, intervention, and physical presence are irreplaceable.

Question 3

Security practices and procedures cover a broad spectrum of activities designed to eliminate or mitigate the full range of potential hazards (loss,damage or injury).

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. Security practices and procedures are implemented to address potential hazards such as theft, cyber attacks, natural disasters, and workplace accidents. The goal is to minimize the risk of loss, damage, or injury.

Question 4

Which of the below listed attributes is not considered to be an advantage of a contract security service?&#10;A) Cost&#10;B) Staffing&#10;C) Impartiality&#10;D) Expertise&#10;E) Control

Accepted Answer

Control is not considered an advantage of contract security services because the client organization has limited direct control over the security personnel and their operations, as they are employees of the security service provider, not the client.

Question 5

Private security services may be a mixture of proprietary and contract services,also know as a hybrid system.

Accepted Answer

Private security services can be a mixture of both proprietary and contract services, making it a hybrid system. This enables companies to have more control over their security operations while also outsourcing certain security functions.

Question 6

Private security and public law enforcement perform the same role.

Accepted Answer

Private security and public law enforcement have some similarities in their roles, but they are not the same. Public law enforcement is a government agency responsible for enforcing laws, maintaining public safety, and protecting citizens' rights. Private security, on the other hand, is employed by private organizations or individuals to protect their property, assets, and personnel. While both may involve some overlapping duties, such as responding to emergencies and deterring criminal activity, their legal authority, scope of duties, and accountability differ significantly.

Question 7

The combination of proprietary and contract security is referred to as:&#10;A) An integrated system&#10;B) A hybrid system&#10;C) An inefficient system&#10;D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

The combination of proprietary and contract security is referred to as a hybrid system. This approach combines the advantages of both types of security, such as control over proprietary security personnel and flexibility in the use of contract personnel. It is a commonly used approach in many organizations. Option A (integrated system) doesn't specifically refer to this combination and Option C (an inefficient system) is incorrect because the effectiveness of the system is not determined by the combination of proprietary and contract security alone. Option D (all of the above) is incorrect because Option C is not a valid option.

Question 8

Hazards against which private security seeks to provide protection are commonly divided into man-made and natural.

Accepted Answer

Private security does indeed seek to provide protection against both man-made and natural hazards. Man-made hazards include theft, vandalism, terrorism, and violent crime, while natural hazards include wildfires, floods, earthquakes, and severe weather.
