The CPO program was
created by the IFPO to provide "current, useful, consolidated security
training that provides vital 'need to know' information for Protection
Officers throughout the Security Industry."
The Certified Protection
Officer (CPO) Final Challenge is an option which, for US$100.00, would
allow you to receive the same designation as an individual who completed
the CPO program under the regular course of study. The CPO Final
Challenge option would reduce the time of study required since the only
required examination involved in this program would be that of the CPO
Final Examination.
The CPO Program Final
Examination consists of 328 true/false and multiple choice questions,
with a four (4) hour time limit. It has a coverage which is highly
extensive - in fact so extensive that I wouldn't recommend taking the
exam until you are fully drilled on the relevant topics.
Many CPO candidates are
experienced professional who have been in the field of security for
years, that they know most of the practical how-tos, and all they need
is to learn the principles, concepts and science that are behind the
essential security techniques. Going through all the reference material
officially listed would be quite overwhelming for these busy
professionals.
ExamFOCUS Study Notes build a solid focus while revisiting key
examination topics. Whether you are just starting to study, cramming at
the last minute, or simply looking to refresh, this could prove to be a
lifesaver!
To succeed in the exam you need to get yourself truly familiar with
the most important information by going through sufficiently focused revision. This is
where we fill the gap - you may think of our product as the unofficial supplement to
the regular training class, or you may view it as a standalone module with a focus on
building up your exam readiness.
As an effective learning
aid implemented in the format of study notes, the ExamFOCUS CPO Study
Notes package is designed to present information in an
easy-to-understand, conversational format. Notes are well-written,
technically accurate
and completely representative of the key information covered by the
exam.

SAMPLE TEXT on Crime scene procedures
The primary purpose of crime scene investigation is to
assist in establishing what happened (eg. crime scene reconstruction)
and to identify the person involved. This would require the careful
documentation of the conditions at the crime scene and the recognition
of all the relevant physical evidence. The ability to recognize and
properly collect physical evidence is most critical to solving and
prosecuting violent crimes.
According to Byrd , the possible types of evidence that can be collected
at the crime scene may include:
- Impressions include fingerprints, tool marks, footwear, fabric
impressions, tire marks and bite marks.
- Forensic Biology includes blood, semen, body fluids, hair, nail
scrapings, blood stain patterns,
- Trace Evidence includes gun shot residues, arson accelerant, paint,
glass and fibers.
- Firearms includes weapons, gun powder patterns, casings, projectiles,
fragments, pellets, wadding and cartridges.
- Question Documents
A successful investigator would never leap to an immediate conclusion as
to what happened based upon limited information but would generate
several different theories of the crime, keeping the ones that are not
eliminated by incoming information at the scene.
Documenting crime scene conditions may include immediately recording
transient details like lighting, drapes, weather, or furniture moved by
medical teams. Certain kinds of evidence (such as shoeprints or gunshot
residue) are more fragile in nature and must be collected immediately
before getting destroyed or lost.
**************
SAMPLE TEXT on Hazardous material handling
A Hazardous materials response (HAZMAT) team is a special group of
employees who are trained and assigned to perform work to control leaks
of hazardous substances, which would quite likely require close approach
to the substance. The team members would perform responses to releases
or potential releases of hazardous substances for the purpose of
stabilization of the incident.
All employees working on site that may be exposed to
hazardous substances, health hazards, or safety hazards should receive
adequate training before they are permitted to engage in hazardous waste
operations. They should be given regular review training as well.
You need to have a proper spill containment program in
place. It would be most useful when major spills occur. Generally
speaking, an appropriate combination of engineering controls, work
practices, and personal protective equipment should be made sufficient
enough for reducing employee exposure to or below published exposure
levels for hazardous substances and health hazards. Personal protective
equipment (PPE) should be chosen for protecting employees from the
hazards and potential hazards they are likely to encounter.
