“In my opinion, behavioral recognition and threat recognition are one of the most important skills a security professional can have, I have taken several courses on this subject matter, and read every book on the subject.

“I work in a supportive housing program in a higher crime area, so it will be important to be more aware of what is going on in the building, walking to my car, and out in the field with any off-site individuals.”

“It will help me to be more situationally aware of my surroundings and be more aware of things that seem out of place.”
