The International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO) was established as a non-profit organization in January 1988 for the purpose of facilitating the training and certification needs of protection officers and security supervisors from both the commercial and proprietary sectors. It has developed two comprehensive distance delivery styled courses; the Certified Protection Officer (CPO) program and the Certified Security Supervisor (CSS) program. Many corporations and institutions have adopted these programs and integrated them with their existing staff development process and training guidelines. The Foundation also publishes a quarterly newsletter, Protection News, with circulation to all IFPO members as well as candidates enrolled in either the CPO or CSS programs. This publication is designed to keep professionals current on trends within the security industry and is full of valuable information and commentary pertinent to the enhancement of life safety and property protection.
