1 PIONEER TRAINING INSTITUTE CENTRE FOR DISTANCE & ONLINE LEARNING DIPLOMA IN SECURITY MANAGEMENT OUTLINE

2 SECURITY MANAGEMENT STUDIES Pioneer Training Institute has specifically identified security management and criminal justice programs among its cluster of strategic studies to be offered through its new Distance Learning Arm. This is in view of a need to enhance the practice of criminology, forensic sciences, criminal psychology and other behavioral and social sciences in understanding criminal behaviors and dealing with the prevailing crime and security problems in the region. It has therefore developed a diploma programs in Security Management through which students can advance to Advanced Diplomas or Bachelors programs in Security Management, Criminal Justice Studies, and Economic Crimes Management etc. Security is defined as those means which serve to protect and preserve a society and allow for the conduct of activities within the organization or society without disruption. It consists of people, structures, systems and procedures. The need for security emanates from an aspect of fear which is a permanent feature in human behavior due to the criminality and anarchism prevalent in our societies. Security is a feature of human interactions from the individual right up to the global level. It is clear that the need for security training rests on our quest to increase security. This is intricately linked to the types of threats that prevail in a society. These could include threats to personal safety, personal property, organizational assets and communal interests. There is no doubt that the public order and security sectors are of vital importance in the region. The tragedy is that these sectors are dominated by poorly trained personnel. The best example of this is seen in most of our state s criminal justice systems and private security sectors where most of the personnel operate with just basic induction training. In the law enforcement sectors the emphasis has always been on physical drills, military discipline and shooting skills. There is a lack of analytic, investigative and forensic and security management skills essential in dealing with high tech crime and sophisticated criminal behaviors. Similarly, in private security industry the traditional rungu welding guard is of no practical use under the changing crime and security scenario. The industry is now seeing need for training in modern security management skills, techniques and technology. It is in view of the above that the Pioneer Training Institute is rolling out a professional security management training course with flexible delivery modes. Special attention has been devoted to the preparation of this curriculum to ensure that it contains all of the 2

3 required modules necessary in modern safety, crime prevention and security management. This will include the knowledge of information management technology, CCTV systems and other security technology and management skills. This course is intended to provide a comprehensive training pathway for public and private security personnel who undertake security work on a full or part time basis, and those who seek new careers or promotion in the field of security. The primary targets will thus include; police, prison, council inspectorate, military, intelligence and administration officers. Others are personnel from the private sectors such as; business enterprises, financial institutions, accounting and audit firms and security officers from private security, investigation firms and the banking sector.
