Welcome to the Ark-La-Tex Chapter of ASIS International.  We are a professional organization of individuals responsible for the security and safety of people, property, and assets of all types. Our membership includes professionals from all areas of security and loss prevention, such as corporate security managers and directors, retail loss prevention professionals, security service providers, law enforcement, security consultants, private investigators and others involved in all aspects of security. Our local chapter meets monthly and provides quality educational and networking opportunities for its members. To join the local chapter you must be a member of ASIS International. However, professionals involved in the security or loss prevention industry are welcome to attend a meeting as our guest and members are always encouraged to bring a prospective new member.

 

We are a group dedicated to increasing the effectiveness and productivity of security practices by developing educational programs and helping others to better understand the ever changing role of security professionals in today’s world.

 

Membership has its benefits

 

Our parent organization, ASIS International, was founded in 1955 and is the preeminent international security organization with over 37,000 members worldwide. Currently there are over 200 chapters worldwide and  over 30 volunteer councils designed to support the membership by providing information and training on specific security concerns and issues inherent to specific areas of the industry.

 

ASIS administers three certifications programs. The Certified Protection Professional (CPP) designation indicates board certification in security management, and is recognized worldwide as the highest recognition accorded a security practitioner. Two technical certifications have been added recently: the Physical Security Professional (PSP) and the Professional Certified Investigator (PCI).
