This report details the development of a program for the short-term training of security guards, including conceptual, instructional, and administrative concerns. It is designed to serve as a model for other similar retraining programs. The original objectives of the program were outlined as being (1) the removal of persons from the category of "unemployed"; (2) the assistance of these persons to obtain a high school equivalency diploma if they lacked one; (3) the provision to unskilled persons of the skills and tools for meaningful employment in the private security industry; (4) the aiding in the ungrading of the quality of security officers and the professionalization of the security field.
