Private Patrol Operator: Managing a California-Based Security Company

This book is designed to serve three distinct types of readers:

1. Aspiring PPO Qualified Managers: For those preparing for the California Private Patrol Operator Qualified Manager Exam-commonly known as the PPO Exam or PPO Test-this book offers study material aligned with the Examination Outline for Private Patrol Operators. It also incorporates insights drawn from over 14 years of feedback and suggestions from Shaun's colleagues.

2. Private Security Professionals: This book is a valuable resource for individuals considering starting a private security company, as well as for current business owners or managers seeking a refresher on industry standards. It delves into the fundamentals of owning and operating a private security company in California, providing practical guidance and up-to-date information.

3. Legal Professionals: Attorneys investigating, defending, or prosecuting negligence cases involving private security companies will find this book useful as a comprehensive reference on private security standards. The intent is to provide a foundational legal treatise on the subject.

Readers should note that while the book includes practice questions, these are not identical to those on the state exam. No author or entity has legal access to the BSIS exam questions, and the content in this book is neither the same nor an exact replica of the state exam. Instead, the practice questions are thoughtfully developed based on the state Examination Outline.
