ATLANTA, Georgia (PRWEB) October 06, 2016 -- U.S. Security Associates (USA) recently awarded security officers at client sites in New Jersey in a pinning ceremony for their completion of the SecuritySTARS(SM) level one training. Introduced corporate wide in the third quarter of 2016, an industry exclusive, SecuritySTARS(SM) is a training, development and recognition strategic initiative that ensures all USA security officers are the best prepared with the knowledge and the skills required to provide our clients with the most safe, secure and friendly environments.

Richard L. Wyckoff, President and CEO of USA, commented, “SecuritySTARS(SM) raises the bar once again with an unparalleled, comprehensive and ongoing commitment to officer development. Every training module is focused on prevention, detection and immediate response in order to mitigate safety and security risks. It’s far more than just a training program. It is a career path that encourages prescriptive and continuing education that elevates our officers’ skills and competencies to more immediately address new threats as they arise. By redoubling our investment in our officers, we are providing our clients with greater capabilities to achieve the best possible outcomes.”
Approximately 50 officers at two client sites were awarded pins, recognized for their exemplary completion of the required training and superior on-the-job performance.
