As part of the ASIS Canadian Pacific Chapter's mandate to provide education and training in the security field to our membership, the Chapter and 3Si Risk Strategies Incorporated have prepared a Physical Security Professional (PSP) Review program.

The review program is targeted to security professionals whose primary responsibility is to conduct threat surveys; design integrated security systems that include equipment, procedures, and people; or those who install, operate, and maintain those systems.

Program participants wishing to take the PSP examination must satisfy the following requirements:

Experience and Education

1.      Five (5) years of experience* in the physical security* field

2.      High school diploma or GED equivalent

3.      The applicant must not have been convicted of any criminal offense that would reflect negatively on the security profession, ASIS, or the certification program.

Physical Security: means the various physical measures designed to safeguard personnel, property, and information.

Experience: means that the individual has been personally engaged in the physical security field on a full-time basis or is their primary duty.  Such experience would include:

1.      Experience as a security practitioner in the protection of assets in the public or private sector.

2.      Experience with companies, associations, government, or other organizations furnishing services or equipment, including consulting firms, provided that the duties and responsibilities substantively relate to physical security.

3.      Experience as a full-time educator on the faculty of an accredited educational institution, provided that the responsibilities for courses and other duties relate primarily to knowledge areas pertinent to the operation of physical security program in the public or private sectors.
