Public Corporate Security Officers and the Frontiers of Knowledge and Credentialism
Public Corporate Security Officers and the Frontiers of Knowledge and Credentialism
This chapter assesses another new kind of policing and security agent — public corporate security personnel — with attention to the frontiers of security knowledge and credentialism. It considers the establishment of corporate security units in municipal and federal levels of government in Canada. Corporate security, operating in the private sphere, is now entering new and unexpected frontiers to become elements of policing and security networks. The chapter then focuses on how knowledge and technology from the American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS International) is transferred into Canadian levels of government and their newer corporate security units and operations as well as into the UK and Australia through some of its 240 chapters worldwide.
Keywords: public corporate security personnel, security knowledge, credentialism, municipal corporate security, corporate security, ASIS International, policing networks, security networks
