Video can be used as a powerful training tool. It is used
widely in education and the training of security personnel
because it can demonstrate lessons and examples vividly
to the trainee. In this post-9/11 era, security personnel
should receive professional training by all means including
real video footage. Video is an important tool for the security
trainer. Example procedures of all types can be shown
conveniently in a short time period, and with instructions
given during the presentation. Videotaped real-life situations
(not simulations or performances) can demonstrate
the consequences of mis-applied procedures and the benefits
of proper planning and execution by trained and
knowledgeable personnel.
