ASIS New Delhi Chapter # 207 hosted the CPP and PSP examinations on 03 November 2007 at the USI Club. The PSP exam was held for the first time in India and had only one candidate (not many people knew that this exam was also available in India) but there were 20 security professionals who took the test for CPP. The PSP exam was held thanks to the untiring efforts of the New Delhi Chapter in this regard. For more information on this certification please click on the following link which Mr David Cresswell, CPP has kindly forwarded to me :
In addition to relevant information, one can download the US Army Field Manual 'FM - 3.19.30' Physical Security (317 pages), which is an excellent resource for PSP as well as the CPP tests.
On 02 November 2007, I conducted a review programme for the aspiring candidates from 2.00 to 6.30 PM (a real marathon session) as part of volunteer service for the chapter. The same was attended by 14 guys who took the test the following day and all felt that it was very useful (not blowing my own trumpet, honest !!). I am hopeful that the all the eight candidates who were being mentored by me will pass the test. Bhuvnesh Sahni and R.M.Bade from RBI took the test this time as S.S.Raman and Moin Zafar dropped out at the last moment owing to personal problems. Well here's wishing them all the best !!!
With awareness about ASIS certifications increasing, I am sure that the numbers will only grow. This augurs well for the industry as employers today are insisting on certified professionals in any field.

Hi, Sir, I have an Idea!!!! I feel that this is the time that all CPPs in India form CPP Association of India (Online) to discuss complex Industrial Security Issues and come up with authentic solution through team work, conduct seminar so as to earn some credit points, conduct awareness programs and ofcourse mentoring new aspirants like me????

Good idea Yagnesh !! I think it will work when adequate number of security professionals have earned their credentials. Let us wait and hope for the best till then.
