The
Allan J. Cross Award
The Allan J. Cross, CPP™, Award pays the
registration fee for 30 ASIS members to attend any one ASIS certification
review course of their choice, throughout the year. The award is made
possible, in part, by the generosity of PPM
2000, Inc., a software firm offering incident management solutions.
Cross was executive vice president of PPM u
ntil
his death in 1996. He pointed to his Certified Protection Professional
(CPP) status with pride, and PPM and the ASIS Foundation partnered to
commemorate him in this way. Cross held memberships in the Police Chiefs
Association of Southwest Pennsylvania; the Academy of Security Educators
and Trainers; and ASIS.
Cross Award winners choose a certification review course from the Professional Development Calendar. Awardees may choose a CPP, PCI, or PSP review course - either in the classroom or online - or Curso de Repaso para el Professional Certificado de Proteccion.
