National Casino Surveillance Survey
As a security and surveillance professional, I am inviting you to join us on August 12 @ 9 am PST to discuss the findings of the IACSP National Casino Surveillance Survey - a first-of-its-kind, ground-breaking report for surveillance professionals in the gaming industry.

Willing To Share?
IACSP is searching for surveillance departments that would be willing to share their internal controls for the Sports Book with the IACSP Board of Directors. If willing and able, please forward to info@iacsp.org. Thank you very much for your assistance!
Video Review and Investigation
