(2) Washington State laws & regulations regarding security guardS and company licensing

(3) Legal and liability issues related to the security guard industry

Many Company Principal & Certified Trainer applicants fail the State Company Principal & Certified Trainer exam because they lack familiarity with the material on the examination and do not have the time or motivation to download and review all the study material recommended by the Department of Licensing. The information contained in this STSI manual is designed to assist applicants in passing these difficult examinations because the book meets or exceeds all Washington State requirements for material that must be reviewed prior to passing the Company Principal and Certified Trainer examination. The book includes information from the websites and locations recommended by the State of Washington DOL website as well as selected excerpts from THE ROLE OF THE SECURITY OFFICER (see below), which is used by many Certified Trainers around the state to comply with the initial and annual training requirements for private security guards in The State of Washington.

 Every Washington State Certified Trainer and Company Principal should own a copy!

This manual is also an excellent reference book for Company Principals & Certified Trainers because it contains all the RCW laws and WAC rules and regulations that apply to the private security industry. Whether you are preparing to pass the exam or simply desire to remain in compliance with the law you need to have this book on your shelf.

MANUAL REVIEWS:

• Michael: I just received the manual and did a very brief review. Looks great! I can see that you did a lot of preparation. Thanks for being on top of a situation that called for some quick resolution (the DOL's raised requirements, but lack of support material).
  - Christine Scott cscott@safesecurity.us
  
  I was most impressed and bought a copy of the new manual the same day at the monthly WSSC meeting.

  If anyone in the world has earned the right to compose a training manual for Security Officers, it is Michael Jaquish. Mr. Jaquish has filled a void in Washington States' Security Officer training program, not only for the officers in the field but for the trainers as well. "The Role of the Security Officer" by Michael Jaquish is a comprehensive training program designed to follow the guide lines mandated by the State of Washington for Security Officer licensing qualifications. I highly recommend this training program to be used state wide because it is professionally written and simplified in its organization. Michael Jaquish is truly a Security Professional concerned about the safety of all Americans. Good job Mike.

Washington State Bail Bond Recovery Agent Exam Study Guide & Reference Manual

The Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) requires that all Bail Bond Recovery Agents complete a specific course of study and successfully pass the Washington State Bail Bond Recovery Agent examination in order to obtain their Bail Bond Recovery Agent license. The DOL web site lists numerous links that those interested in becoming Bail Bond Recovery Agents can explore to help prepare them for the challenging exam. Visiting all these web sites and combing through the hundreds of pages of material is a very time-consuming and cumbersome process. Michael Jaquish of STSI (Security Training Services International) has refined the process by doing all that work for you and compiling the study material into this book that will serve as both a study guide for passing the exam and as a reference manual.

NOTE: This book has been created to provide fugitive recovery agents in Washington State with the basic information on the laws and regulations that apply to this profession and assist students of this profession in passing the Washington State Bail Enforcement Agent licensing exam.

PERSONAL SURVIVAL- A MANUAL FOR WHAT TO DO WHEN THE WORST HAPPENS

A guide for maintaining personal safety and security in an unsafe world

Violence and danger is around us all the time. The moment we choose to acknowledge that, we are on our way to a voyage of discovery to formulate plans that will reduce the likelihood that we will become a victim of that violence. Choosing to become a survivor takes a mental leap. For some, that leap is more of an effort than it is for others, but it is possible for everyone.

Survival, first and foremost means awareness. An aware person is a person who is ready for action. It doesn't take a paranoid person to prepare for the possibility that at some point today you may be faced with a situation that may require all your resources to survive. Whether it is utilizing your peripheral vision to duck as something unexpectedly flies in your direction, or avoiding being side-swiped by another car on the freeway, taking refuge during an earthquake or tornado, or taking a wide turn around a shady-looking character as you negotiate your way up the sidewalk on your way to work. all these events will play out in your favor if you are aware and prepared to act according to a plan.

Society has evolved into a condition we call civilized. Civilization has come to mean safety and security.. an environment that nurtures and protects us, preserves individual rights and does not require constant vigilance in order to remain alive. Somehow, this misconception continues to exist amidst a steady stream of evidence to the contrary. Much of modern depression is directly related to the overwhelming series of violence fed to us by the news media every day. Stories of kidnappings, killings, horrific accidents, terrorist attacks and natural disasters numb our senses as we search for answers that will keep us from being swept into the abyss of chaos and anarchy. Most often we fool ourselves into pretending such things happen to others. never to us, and we struggle to go about our daily routines in a state of bliss or complacency... a strange kind of self-imposed condition of denial of the reality that we are in fact living in a very dangerous world. This book offers important tips on how you can take control of your personal security and survive life altering events with confidence.
