Abstract

It is the protection officer's objective to be proactive in the protection of assets. To do this, they will use the knowledge and skills they have gained toward preventing incidents or crimes that may potentially cause losses. Notwithstanding protection efforts, incidents will occur and some of them will result in losses. Some incidents might merely require the recording of information in an incident report for investigation or statistical tracking. Some reporting may actually be a preventive measure, such as reporting nonfunctioning HVAC systems, lighting issues, hazardous conditions, or other conditions which may cause an incident. When an incident occurs, it is important that the scene is protected so that evidence is not damaged or lost. This chapter relates valuable information and skills of the protection officer required to manage a scene until expert and professional assistance arrives.
