Conference Program Agenda Announced

2023 IASIR Conference Program: 

HOW HANDS-ON ARE WE GOING TO GO? 
Observe & Report vs. Observe & Respond:
The Shifting Line Between Law Enforcement and Private Security

Private security is often called on to fill the void that local law enforcement cannot. Increasingly, this means altering the traditional private security model of deterring illegal and inappropriate actions through the presence of video surveillance, physical patrols or the monitoring of alarm systems to a more active response to situations as they arise. Client expectations that guards take a more “hands on” approach with trespassers and violators involves an expanded skill set potentially requiring regulatory changes.
 
From a regulatory standpoint, how does the shift in directive from “observe and report” to “observe and respond” change licensing guidelines, mandated training, and insurance models for personal and criminal liability?

We’ve invited speakers and panelists who can share the high-level trends as well as the view on the ground. Real-world case studies and practical collaboration between representatives of government and the regulated industries will be emphasized in breakout sessions and full-group discussion of sensible strategies for regulatory and operational reform in the face of change.
