Fourth-Generation Corporate Security: Asymmetrical Warfare For Protective Services Professionals

For decades, corporate security has remained the somewhat sinister stepchild of law enforcement, despite the relatively recent invention of municipal police departments and uniformed peace officers. Regardless, private security ?that is, security services provided by individual citizens or commercial businesses ?predate federal and municipal protective services by centuries. A fundamental reason for this recent discrepancy in definition, however, rests largely with the perception of the media and municipal officials who suggest that both law enforcement and private security remain relatively interchangeable. They are not; law enforcement and security represent distinct disciplines with their own terms, procedures, and responsibilities. Fourth-Generation Corporate Security: Asymmetrical Warfare for Protective Services Professionals discusses the challenges of fourth-generation warfare (4GW) in the context of private security operations throughout the world, including urban warfare, maritime, and executive protection scenarios. Fourth-Generation Corporate Security (4GCS) cannot be taught ?it must be learned through experience and intuition. Accordingly, this offering by R.J. Godlewski provides the foundation upon which the security professional can build his or her repertoire and arsenal in combating the apparitional nature of asymmetrical conflicts.
