The CA🍁SP Development and Advisory Board guides the development and direction of the Association.
Municipal Security Agent program
Municipalities across Canada are starting to use security professionals to enforce bylaws, patrol streets, respond to alarms, manage minor situations, and generally be present for everyone’s safety.
CA🍁SP‘s Municipal Security Agent (MSA) program prepares security professionals to function safely and effectively in this role.
National basic security training
Realizing that the roles and responsibilities of security professions is the same across the country and that people are free to move across the country, it is logical for the provinces to adopt a national basic security training (BST) program. It is also logical for BST to present information that is relevant to all security professionals.
CA🍁SP‘s National basic security training white paper proposes a basic security training program that benefits security professionals, security employers, their clients, and the public.
IFPO competency model
IFPO has prepared a competency model for security professionals, and is preparing another one for security management. While CA🍁SP was unaware of the competency model when we created our course structure, we realize that
- CA🍁SP‘s in-service courses focus on knowledge and skill development in the personal effectiveness, academic, and workplace competencies.
- CA🍁SP’s post-specific courses focus on knowledge and skill development in the industry-wide technical and industry-sector technical competencies.
We are proud that CA🍁SP’s training structure is homologous with IFPO’s competency model.
IFPO career planning
Dr. Glen Kitteringham and IFPO have prepared a comprehensive document that details the career of a security professional, and the important knowledge and skills to have at each level.
CA🍁SP has and is actively developing training to help security professionals progress in their career.
