Unit 3 Security Officer Requirements Paper (CRJ104 Introduction to Security)

CRJ104- Introduction to Security

Security Officer Requirements Paper

Due: 10:00 pm Sunday of Unit 3.

Since Post University is located in the State of Connecticut, research the Connecticut requirements to be a security officer. You may research and discuss your state's standards if you live in another state. Outline those requirements and discuss why you think the standards are sufficient, insufficient, or too restrictive.

Be sure to use at least one source from the state (Connecticut or your home state) that outlines the legal requirements for security personnel. There are numerous websites out there that list requirements, however some are out of date and may contain incorrect information. It is important that any time you are looking up legal information you get the correct information from a local, state, or federal government website. An example for Connecticut is listed under “Optional Resource” section of this unit.

The paper shall be in APA format, typed in 12 font Times New Roman, and shall not have been turned in previously to any other instructor for any other course or assignment. Paper length is 1-2 pages not to include the cover page or bibliography, and include a minimum of two (2) references. It is to be submitted as a Microsoft Word Document. The research paper shall be an individual effort and not a group project. Since criminal justice is a social science, the writing requirements of the American Psychological Association, otherwise known as the APA, will be in effect for the research paper assignment.
