“Russ Colling encouraged me to get actively involved with IAHSS very early in my career. If you are in healthcare security, he said, you need to

be in IAHSS. He said the give back would be worth it and was he

ever right! It has been one of the most powerful influences in helping me navigate career success.”

3 LEVELS OF CERTIFICATION for Healthcare Security & Safety Officers:

“Since my department qualified for the IAHSS Program of Distinction, we have seen a significant increase in the level of professionalism and demonstrated competence in the execution of healthcare security protection strategies by our staff."

Keith McGlen, CHPA, CPPAssociate Vice President, System Security Services Memorial Hermann Health System

“As a seasoned RN with over 40 years of varied past experience who made a career change to assuming 24/7 operations oversight of our healthcare based police department, I studied hard to achieve my CHPA certification, and that definitely provided me with the critical knowledge and skills that I needed to be successful with my new Director leadership role.

“Our hospital leadership frequently compliments the Security department regarding our officers’ demonstrated professionalism and

competence. We believe they achieved the skills and knowledge by

completing the IAHSS training series. We directly correlated the training series with our career ladder, thereby creating a “Win-Win” environment.
