The Security Triangle: Security, Law Enforcement, And Intelligence
CDSE’s Education Program released its newest virtual instructor-led course, The Security Triangle: Security, Law Enforcement (LE), and Intelligence. It focuses on the three components of the security triangle (security, LE, and intelligence). Through the review of case studies, this course explores how the DOD security professional collaborates with and supports LE and intelligence communities to prevent future security failures.
This new eight-week course runs between October 14 and December 15 and is open to all federal civilians and military personnel (active and reserve) with or without an undergraduate degree. The course is unavailable to contractors. Students will receive 80 professional development units (PDUs) upon successful completion.
Visit the course webpage to learn more and the Security Training, Education, and Professionalization Portal (STEPP) to register.
SPēD Eligibility and Prerequisites
Ever wonder how to become eligible for the Security Professional Education Development (SPēD) certification and what the prerequisites are? In general, candidates are eligible to pursue SPēD certification if they are DOD personnel performing security enterprise functions, federal employees of a participating agency within the security workforce, or contractors assigned to a security position supporting DOD. Eligible candidates must meet outlined prerequisites based on the specific certification or credential they are pursuing.
For example, an eligible candidate can pursue the Security Program Integration Professional Certification (SPIPC), Security Asset Protection Professional Certification (SAPPC), Special Program Security Credential (SPSC), and Industrial Security Oversight Credential (ISOC) only if they are currently Security Fundamentals Professional Certification (SFPC) certified. Adjudicators at agencies accepted to participate in the program must complete prerequisite training before they are eligible to take the Adjudicator Professional Certification (APC) and must obtain the APC prior to attempting the Due Process Adjudicator Professional Credential (DPAPC). There is no specific prerequisite for the Physical Security Certification (PSC), and only Antiterrorism Officers (ATOs) are eligible to pursue the Antiterrorism Credential (ATC).
