Designed to support real-world application.
The handbook collection
Each title turns essential security knowledge into a compact, easy-to-use reference for frontline staff, supervisors and operational leaders. Explore forthcoming digital editions or discuss regular printed deliveries.
Core reference
An all-round pocket reference covering radio discipline, professional conduct, incident reporting, safeguarding, emergency procedures and other essential frontline responsibilities.
Leadership
Practical support for supervisors and aspiring leaders, including leadership styles, staff briefings, handovers, welfare, escalation and professional liaison.
People skills
A clear guide to dynamic risk assessment, active listening, adaptable communication and professional techniques for managing and de-escalating conflict.
Critical incidents
A concise operational reference covering initial control, clear incident reporting, ETHANE communication, reassessment and calm action during mass-casualty incidents.
The next chapter
Our four practical security handbooks are being developed in digital editions, giving readers another convenient way to access operational guidance.
Whether you prefer to read electronically or keep a printed handbook close to hand, KSJ Publishing aims to support learning and professional development across the security and events industry.
Digital editions are not yet available. Formats, licensing, delivery, accessibility and launch dates will be confirmed before publication.
Digital learning is convenient, but on busy event sites, at entrances, on patrol or during handovers, a printed reference can sometimes be the more practical choice.
Staff may have limited connectivity, low battery, restrictions on personal devices or simply need to find guidance quickly without navigating a screen. Printed handbooks can be kept at a work post, used during briefings and shared as reference copies, subject to normal site procedures.
Our digital and printed editions are intended to complement one another — not compete.
Printed and digital guides are supplementary reference materials. They do not replace site-specific procedures, emergency plans, training, employer policies or current legal guidance.
