About Douglas Knisely, owner/operator:

Douglas Knisely is a lifetime Certified Protection Professional (CPP). The Certified Protection Professional program was established in 1977 by the American Society for Industrial Security, which is the leading organization of security professionals in the world. The certification program sought to formalize the body of knowledge necessary to professional security practice, to establish standards for the knowledge and experience that should characterize professional practitioners, and to certify individuals who met these standards and demonstrated mastery of the profession’s fundamentals. A difficult battery of mandatory and optional exams was developed to test this mastery. Recertification is required every three years by showing proof of continuing education and active participation in professional organizations.
