Designing Effective Post Orders

Well-designed and executed post orders are the foundation of an effective corporate security program.

They should be detailed enough to provide a measuring stick for officer performance, clear enough to communicate your expectations for manpower and training to your security services provider, and forthright enough to defend against a potential lawsuit alleging inadequate security.

Fall short in any of these criteria and your company is at risk.

Listen as veteran corporate security professionals and consultants give you a blueprint for creating effective post orders and ensuring that they are followed throughout your organization.
