Security Operations: An Introduction to Planning and Conducting Private Security Details for High-Risk Areas, Second Edition was written for one primary purpose: to keep people alive by introducing them to private security detail tactics and techniques. The book provides an understanding of the basic concepts and rules that need to be followed in protective services, including what comprises good security practice. This second edition is fully updated to include new case scenarios, threat vectors, and new ambush ploys and attack tactics used by opportunistic predators and seasoned threat actors with ever-advanced, sophisticated schemes.

Security has always been a necessity for conducting business operations in both low- and high-risk situations, regardless of the threat level in the operating environment. Overseas, those with new ideas or businesses can frequently be targets for both political and criminal threat agents intent on doing harm. Even in the United States, people become targets because of positions held, publicity, politics, economics, or other issues that cause unwanted attention to a person, their family, or business operations.

Security Operations, Second Edition

provides an introduction to what duties a security detail should perform and how to effectively carry out those duties. The book can be used by a person traveling with a single bodyguard or someone being moved by a full security detail.

FEATURES

Identifies what can pose a threat, how to recognize threats, and where threats are most likely to be encountered

Presents individuals and companies with the security and preparedness tools to protect themselves when operating in various environments, especially in high-risk regions

Provides an understanding of operational security when in transit: to vary route selection and keep destinations and movement plans out of the public view

Outlines the tools and techniques needed for people to become security conscious and situationally aware for their own safety and the safety of those close to them

An equal help to those just entering the protection business or people and companies that are considering hiring a security detail, Security Operations is a thorough, detailed, and responsible approach to this serious and often high-risk field.

"The first edition of Social Media Campaigns: Strategies for Public Relations and Marketing has been a go-to book for me and my students for years. In the new edition of Social Media Campaigns, Carolyn Mae Kim remains true to what I loved about the first edition: The emphasis on the importance of learning the timeless skill of strategic planning and helping readers develop a social mindset that prioritizes ethics, relationships, and critical thinking. In this text, Dr. Kim masterfully looks beyond the surface of changing trends and tools. She dives into how society and technology are fundamentally changing, artfully illustrating how organizations must adapt. Dr. Kim is an expert and leader in the social media space as an educator, scholar, and practitioner. I am continuously impressed by her ability to draw connections between the macro and the micro, to identify the implications for professional communicators, and to distill this knowledge into actionable steps for her readers. Whether you are picking up this book as a student learning strategic social media, as a new social media professional, or as seasoned practitioner, your copy will soon be filled with highlights, notes and dog ears. Bravo, Dr. Kim!" - Matthew J. Kushin, Shepherd University, USA

"Carolyn Mae Kim's Social Media Campaigns book is a must have for any professional and student entering the social media field. I have used Kim's first edition in my advanced social media class for years at the University of Louisville, and I will be using this new edition immediately! It's a great balance between research and practice in social media, which is refreshing and wonderful to see. Kim has made sure to discuss the importance of understanding not only what are the major platforms and characteristics to note in social media, but how we can use them strategically. This is a much-needed marketable skill for professionals and students to master entering the workplace in the 21st century, and this is captured throughout Kim's Social Media Campaigns book. I highly recommend adding this new edition to your library - it's a must have." -Karen Freberg, University of Louisville, USA
