ASIS Board Certification
Validating security expertise

For more than 30 years, ASIS has set the standard for professional competency in the security industry. As active law enforcement professionals look to establish and build strong partnerships with their counterparts in the private sector or to prepare for transition to a second career, ASIS board certifications provide independent confirmation of knowledge, skills, and abilities.

ASIS board certification benefits law enforcement professionals by:

• Validating security expertise
• Conveying credibility
• Promoting a common language with counterparts in the private sector
• Encouraging innovative thinking and problem-solving
• Opening networking opportunities
• Enhancing employment opportunities post-law enforcement
   

ASIS offers three board certifications, including two specialty certifications:

Certified Protection Professional
