ASIS-PSP Reviews Questions

Probability of detection refers to the likelihood that an intrusion or unauthorized action will be identified by the security system. It is a key performance metric used to evaluate the effectiveness of electronic security components such as sensors and alarms. A high probability of detection means a more reliable system.

A (System validation) is a phase where detection may be measured, but it’s not the definition.

B (Officer response) is unrelated to detection probability.

D (Response timing) is part of delay or intervention, not detection.

Conspiracy in the context of theft or fraud refers to two or more individuals collaborating—often using confusion or chaos in the environment—to execute or conceal a theft. This is especially common in employee-customer collusion or multi-person theft scenarios.

Accountability (B) reduces confusion.

Invoicing (C) is a documentation process.

Proliferation (D) means rapid increase, not relevant here.

Class K fires involve cooking oils, grease, and fats typically found in commercial kitchens. These fires require specific extinguishers that saponify the oil, cooling and smothering the flames. Class K extinguishers often contain wet chemical agents.

Class C (A) involves energized electrical equipment.

Class D (B) involves combustible metals.

Class L (D) is not a recognized fire class.

A hybrid staffing model uses both proprietary and contract security personnel. In this scenario:

Proprietary staff can be assigned to sensitive and top-secret projects for tighter control, loyalty, and internal vetting.

Contract staff can manage less critical areas such as visitor parking, reducing cost.

This model is both secure and cost-effective, offering flexibility and risk-based deployment.

B (Contract) is cost-effective but lacks control for sensitive tasks.

C (Proprietary) is highly secure but more expensive.

D (Total systems) is not a staffing strategy.
