Selection and Training of Security Officers
IPSA recruits our personnel from many sources; employee referrals, professional
associations, educational institutions, and community groups. Our officers are
carefully screened. Each applicant has an intensive pre-employment background
check and, prior to placement at a site, will have gone through pre-employment
training sessions. All applicants also undergo a series of aptitude tests,
reference verification, drug screening, and extensive interviews. Candidates for
Fire Safety Directors and armed positions have their credentials verified with
all the appropriate licensing agencies. Our personnel are trained at IPSA's own
training academy, and receive all New York State required 8 and 16 hour courses,
plus 8 hours of site-specific training for your facility in areas such as;
public relations, communication techniques, and emergency procedures. You will
be quite pleased with the advanced level of professional training and experience
that each IPSA officer is known for.
Supervision
All IPSA sites are visited on a continual basis by senior management and field
supervisors. Our field supervisors will be cross-trained in policies and
procedures specific to your site. This affords IPSA the opportunity to benefit
our clients with the most professional security services they deserve, in order
to accommodate their unique security needs.
Insurance
IPSA carries the standard statutory insurance such as unemployment insurance,
workman's compensation, disability insurance, and $10,000.00 surety bond. In
addition to the statutory insurance, we have general liability insurance of $1
million dollars per incident, with $3 million in total. We find this coverage to
be adequate for most situations. However, in certain instances, a client may
desire or require higher coverage. We are able to obtain higher limits when
necessary at a nominally higher charge.
