Concepts and Evolution of Asset Protection and Security
The Professional Protection Officer, 2020Co-Authors: Jim Ellis, Christopher A. Hertig, Robert MetscherAbstract:Abstract Asset Protection is the basis for everything that a Protection Officer does. It is the core function of the Protection Officer's job. Asset Protection can have different meanings and functions depending on who is responsible for establishing the boundaries of that role and function. Ultimately, asset Protection is a function of organizational management, and as such security professionals are often expected to provide technical expertise in efficient and effective security risk management activities. The quality of the overall Protection effort will depend on the organizational environment, assets, threats, vulnerabilities, and the organizational leadership commitment to managing those risks. Asset Protection has been practiced for millennia, from protecting an ancient settlement with night sentries patrolling the perimeter, to securing valuables into a modern vault. The most visible and easily recognizable historical form of asset Protection was the medieval castle. The castle was built to protect an asset, be it a royal or noble, their economic means such as gold, from an attacking adversary. These fortifications passed through several phases of evolution, but evolve they did as the threat adjusted to circumvent each new design countermeasure. Furthermore, these designs offer a quick visual representation of layered defenses from outermost obstacles to the innermost chambers of the keep. This evolution is a meaningful analogy to the evolution of security countermeasures found today in physical design and those of policies and procedures.

Legal Aspects of Security
Security Supervision and Management, 2015Co-Authors: Christopher A. Hertig, David L. RayAbstract:This chapter provides an overview of the development of our current legal system, the liability of the security Officer and the employer, and the opportunities available to minimize the risk of exposure to various actions by acting within the law. There are three laws: common law, case law, and statutes. The Protection Officers may be involved in the enforcement of laws or as a witness in both civil and criminal proceedings. Criminal laws appear to be established to protect people, and are passed to ensure peace and good order in the society; while, the purpose of civil law is to protect private rights and not public rights. The security industry is also regulated by a number of other rules, such as labor laws that may create liability if not properly followed. Negligence is an actionable cause under common law, and may result in liability during the performance of or failure to provide security duties. During the course of a consented search, the Protection Officer has the right to seize the items found, such as property of the employer, evidence of a crime, and weapons. Evidence found, may be real, documentary, or testimony, and must be protected from the time it is obtained. The increased complexity because of increasing number of laws, regulations, and standards being imposed on the industry, has necessitated Protection Officers to undergo constant training, updating, and research to stay abreast of the legal requirements to undertake Protection work.

Role of the Professional Protection Officer
The Professional Protection Officer, 2010Co-Authors: Kevin Palacios, Christopher A. HertigAbstract:A professional Protection Officer is a person whose primary job function is the Protection of people and assets. This chapter describes the levels of Protection staff, major roles and core functions of the Protection Officer, and explores the prevention, mitigation, and response functions. Various levels of Protection staff include nonProtection employees, basic level Protection Officer, intermediate level Protection Officer, advanced level supervisory, and managerial Protection Officers. The major roles of Protection Officers are management representative, intelligence agent, compliance or enforcement agent, and legal agent. As a professional, the Officer follows a code of ethics, shares a common history with his colleagues, and owns a common body of knowledge. Contemporary Protection Officers are facing increased demands, and can learn all that they can about laws, standards, and guidelines. Laws and regulations vary greatly in different regions of the world. However, huge efforts are taken all over the world to standardize procedures, training, and risk management models.

Chapter 25 – Crisis Intervention
The Professional Protection Officer, 2010Co-Authors: Michael A. Hannigan, Christopher A. HertigAbstract:Publisher Summary Crisis intervention is a relatively safe collection of techniques designed to aid in maintaining the best possible care and welfare of agitated or out of control individuals, while lending maximum safety to Protection personnel. This chapter discusses the causes of disruptive behavior, the management of disruptive behavior, the crisis development behavior models, and the Protection Officer guidelines. The reasons for people becoming violent or disruptive vary greatly, but most common reasons are illness or injury, stress, anger or frustration, and emotional problems or mental illness. Disruptive individuals can have a serious adverse effect on the organizational operations. If such incidents are perceived as a threat by the employees, it will reduce the productivity, lower morale, and instill a sense of fear. Management of disruptive behavior involves evaluation, planning, implementation, documentation, and reviewing the conditions that a security Officer must learn. In a post-crisis intervention situation, the Protection Officer may experience anger, fear, or frustration; however, that must be controlled. The presence of a capable, confident Protection Officer, willing and able to effectively communicate with employees can have a stabilizing effect in the workplace.

Concepts and Theories of Asset Protection
The Professional Protection Officer, 2010Co-Authors: Jim Ellis, Christopher A. HertigAbstract:Asset Protection is a core function and the basis for everything that a Protection Officer does. This chapter provides an overview of the concept of asset Protection, discusses the risks and risk management, the system of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), and the strategies to mitigate the risk. CPTED is a system whereby territoriality reinforcement is established via barriers, access control, and surveillance. Risk management includes strategies for managing risk, such as risk avoidance, risk transfer, and risk reduction or mitigation. The asset must have some type of value that must be known prior to the implementation of any Protection program and re-evaluated periodically thereafter. Once the asset and its value are defined, it is necessary to determine the type of risks involved with the asset, and to have the data on crime and incidents occurring in and around the site. Only after all the factors of risk or loss have been compiled and examined, the Protection Officer can assist with developing the strategies to help mitigate the risk. Asset Protection through risk mitigation involves the concept of layered Protection, deterrence, detection, and delaying. Insurance can be thought of as the last line of defense in a physical security system, providing the policyholder with financial compensation from the insurance company after a loss has occurred.

Powołanie inspektora ochrony danych jako przejaw społecznej odpowiedzialności biznesu
Annales. Etyka w Życiu Gospodarczym, 2017Co-Authors: Arleta NerkaAbstract:The reform of the EU’s personal data Protection regulations introduces the institution of the Data Protection Officer, assigning it a key role in the new personal data Protection system thereto. Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the Protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC, builds the personal data Protection model, wherein the main responsibility for adequate assessment of the risk associated with the processing of personal data and for the implementation of internal procedures to assure compliance of the referenced operations with the personal data Protection regulations rests with a database administrator. Simultaneously, a database administrator should be capable of proving that he/she has duly met the requirements under the regulations, thus following the crucial rule for the processing of personal data, i.e. data accountability. The EU regulations describe the means and mechanisms to be used by a data processor to a lesser extent than those in force hitherto, focusing more on ensuring the standard of the Protection of individual rights through data controllers' ethical and responsible activities. The key part in the new personal data Protection model will be played by the institution of the Data Protection Officer, intended to become a real guarantor of due observance of the personal data Protection regulations. In this context, the appointment of the Data Protection Officer by database administrators, not bound to do so by law, should be judged a sign of the organization's corporate social responsibility for the impact of its decisions and activities on society through transparent and ethical conduct. It is therefore essential to emphasize the important function to be performed, the authority to be had, and the necessary preparatory action to be taken by the Data Protection Officer to that effect. The new regulations should be regarded as a chance to professionalize both the individuals, serving as information security Officers and, in the near future, the data controllers, as well as the entire occupational group.

Organization of Radiation Protection
Introduction to Radiation Protection, 2010Co-Authors: C. GrupenAbstract:The responsibility for the correct integration of the radiation-Protection rules in a company, nuclear power plant, research center, or an university lies in the hands of the radiation-Protection supervisor. The radiation-Protection supervisor has to appoint in a radiationradiation-Protection directive Protection directive an appropriate number of radiation-Protection Officers for the control and surveillance of the work in question. The radiation-Protection Officer or, for short, the radiation Officer has to be qualified for his work in the field of radiation Protection. In contrast to this the radiation-Protection supervisor need not be an expert in the field of radiation Protection. He transfers the duty to respect the regulations of radiation Protection to the radiation Officer.

Practical Safety Measures1
Introduction to Radiation Protection, 2010Co-Authors: C. GrupenAbstract:It is the aim of safety measures in the field of radiation Protection to avoid unnecessary radiation exposures, contaminations and ingestion and inhalation of radioactive material (‘incorporations’). To a certain extent, of course, there are radiation exposures which are unavoidable, but it is the aim to reduce these unavoidable radiation exposures, contaminations or incorporations to a level as low as reasonably achievable. This is the so-called ALARA principle. There are, however, national radiation-Protection regulations which require the radiation exposure to be kept as low as possible. Of course, it must be ensured that the exposures stay within the limits given by the regulations. To fulfill these requirements is the main task of the radiation-Protection Officer.2

What Is Risk Management
The Professional Protection Officer, 2020Co-Authors: Kevin E. PetersonAbstract:Abstract Risk management is a critical process that touches every aspect of organizational asset Protection as well as the activities of the professional Protection Officer. There are many specific and formalized models—even some sophisticated computer models—for risk management, but all are based on a basic “asset-threat-vulnerability-impact” model. The simple objective is “smart security decisions,” whether it is how to structure a huge multi-national corporation’s security function or how to word an incident report. Every Protection professional should become intimately familiar with the concepts of security risk management—and incorporate them into their mind-set and business practices at all levels.

Automation in Protection Operations
The Professional Protection Officer, 2010Co-Authors: Kevin E. PetersonAbstract:Technology and automation is bringing unprecedented benefits, efficiencies, and opportunities to the field of security and assets Protection. From information sharing and information management to risk assessment and strategic security planning, automated tools are truly of value. This chapter provides an overview of the historical perspective on automation in the Protection industry, explains the proper application of automation, and the need for appropriate education and training in information technology and security automation. An increasing number and a variety of technology applications support the security functions from the perspective of professional Protection Officer, and include incident management systems, visitor management tools, crime mapping, and geospatial information systems (GIS). Protection professionals, whether operating in a government or a private sector environment, are increasingly relying on technology and automated applications. Nonetheless, the technology can and should be exploited by the security services industry and this requires Officers and supervisors who are well rounded in technology applications. We need to be careful to use technology as a tool rather than allow ourselves to be used by technology; however, professional Protection Officers should develop a technology-friendly mind-set, develop their skills, and incorporate high-tech thinking into their professional worldview.

Risk management from the perspective of the radiation Protection Officer. Consequences of new radiation Protection laws in hospitals
Zeitschrift fur arztliche Fortbildung und Qualitatssicherung, 2003Co-Authors: K. J. Wolf, Martin GergeleitAbstract:The implications of the new radiation Protection law for hospitals. The novel German radiation control regulation ("Roentgenverordnung") came into effect on July 1, 2002. It contains a number of new rules the majority of which clearly take a more restrictive approach towards the application of ionising radiation. New dose thresholds have been set for control and monitoring areas and written working instructions are now required for all areas of radiology departments. The new regulations also require the indication for a radiological examination to be checked by a radiologist who has completed a formalised training in radiation Protection. This particular aspect will have serious implications for every day practice. The necessity of having a trained radiologist on site for 24 hours a day will cause problems in many hospitals. The power of the responsible external independent control body ("arztliche Stelle") has been increased as have the duties of medical physicists. The performance of x-ray examinations that are not medically indicated is punishable by law as bodily harm. This as well as many other regulations are currently being checked for applicability in terms of guidelines, the majority of which are not yet available.
