Some of Our Activities

An example of one of our current on-going educational activities is the presentation of talks and seminars about security management as a career to the students at Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia. The Chapter serves as a information resource in the field of security for the college's Department of Criminal Justice. G.M.A.C. also works with the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement (N.O.B.L.E.) in providing information and opportunities for law enforcement and security management professionals to know more about each other's duties and responsibilities as well as opportunities for cooperation.

The IOBSE Student Council was created to allow student members of the IOBSE to network and exchange information and other resources. The Student Council Leadership is heavily relied upon in developing curriculum for student educational and training sessions.
