Continuing education in security is a popular and often typical part of law enforcement-related professions. Some states require that security professionals receive continuing education on a yearly basis. Many security personnel wish to move on to police work; others may want to learn additional skills or stay up-to-date on the latest security products and methods; some may wish to venture into Information Systems Security. In any of these scenarios, continuing your education in security is a good solution.

Security professionals will not be lacking options for furthering their education. Popular choices are colleges and universities featuring criminal justice courses and programs. These are available on-campus and more recently, online. In addition, many employers and/or law enforcement organizations host conferences and workshops for security personnel that count as continuing education.

Some topics associated with continuing security education include:

• Corrections
• Criminal Justice
• Forensics
• Information Security/Cyber Security
• Loss Prevention
