International Security Academy

The mission of the International Security Academy programs is to provide students with the opportunity to develop a strong foundation and breadth of understanding in the area of security. It prepares students with relevant aptitudes to pursue further studies or obtain employment where such knowledge is advantageous through the integration of concepts, effective communication, and creative and critical thinking. International Security Academy (ISA) has determined that there is a public need to regulate the security industry. To meet that end security officers must register with the ISA and meet certain standards. The standards include training and an acceptable background. The ISA provides the minimum curriculum for this training in the form of mandates topics. Those topics range from the role of a guard to adhering to a code of ethics. A professional security officer will enter or remain in the field only if he or she has been deemed to have an acceptable background, is of good moral character and is free from certain criminal convictions.
