What Do Your Reports Say About You?
Let's face it- report writing is probably not your favorite part of the job. However, it is one of the most important functions you perform as a security professional.
A well-written report can help your organization defend itself against lawsuits, provide information to prosecute criminal offenders or identify problems.
You never know which report will be the one that ends up being reviewed by regulators, attorneys, or law enforcement.
Ultimately, the quality of your report reflects upon you as a security professional.

Your Instructor
Dave Corbin, CPP, CHPA
I developed this course to help security professionals at all levels learn how to write an effective security report. A great report reflects well upon you, your department, and your organization. It can also help open doors for new opportunities down the road.
I started my career as a Loss Prevention Associate at Sears over two decades ago. I learned report writing through trial and error (and error, and error). Since then, I have written thousands of reports, became a security leader, and a professional educator.
My goal is to take my boots on the ground knowledge and my experience as a security leader to deliver a course that helps you write better reports- plain and simple.
A Major Source of Frustration for
Security Staff & Leaders
If I ask any of my colleagues what they and their security team struggle with the most, the reply is always "report writing."
It's a problem that exists regardless of the organization. Contract and proprietary security professionals across all experience and education levels often have difficulty writing professional security reports.
I developed this course to help move the needle on this issue. I've assembled an engaging, nuts-and-bolts course, consisting of bite-size lessons you can complete at your pace.
This is not a boring corporate online training. This engaging course is based on over two decades of security experience working in highly regulated, fast paced environments.
You will walk away from this course with the key skills you need to improve your report writing immediately.
