Details of Benefits

ACCIDENTAL DEATH AND DISMEMBERMENT INSURANCE

Individual ASSIST members and their families receive a payment of up to $10,000 in case of an accident that results in serious injury or death to the member, both on- and off-duty. This unique policy pays even if the claim arises because of a crime committed against the officer. We offer this insurance through the National Union Fire Insurance Company. A full copy of the policy can be requested from ASSIST.

ASK THE EXPERTS

Private Security Board (PSB) rules and statutes are complicated. A well-meaning security services contractor can easily run afoul of the law simply by not filing the proper paperwork at the right time. Our compliance officers are up to date on the latest rules and stand ready to help you navigate the process at no additional cost. If your company is violating State of Texas security regulations, ASSIST will assist you with your appeals to help resolve the issue at no additional cost.

CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS

Our regional meetings offer opportunities to earn C.E. credits or complete ALL of your required C.E. credits in one weekend at our annual convention. We offer classes that will actually help you in your business while engaging with fellow security and investigation professionals.

DIRECTORY LISTINGS

You will have access to our member and vendor directory listings, and the ability to network with other ASSIST members and vendors.
