Certification Successes

David Horsburgh CPP PSP PCI

In another first for the New Zealand Chapter, the Professional Certified Investigator (PCI) examination was administered in Wellington in November 2007. This is was the first time that the PCI examination had been administered outside of the North American continent. Wellington based security consultant David Horsburgh CPP PSP gained his third professional security certification after attaining PCI certification through ASIS International. Horsburgh joins a very elite group of security professionals worldwide in attaining the three certifications offered by ASIS International. Three other candidates were successful in the Certified Protection Professional (CPP) examination: Carlton Ruffell PSP; Chris Delaney; and Mark Nicholas. See Certification Page.

When we recently celebrated our 20th anniversary at ANZsec 2007, our Chapter Secretary, Karen Timpson (right) arranged for the baking of a special cake for the occasion. This was kindly sponsored by the Bank of New Zealand. Looking after Conference Registrations is Chapter Member, Ngaire Byrnes (left).

Appropriately, the honour of cutting the cake went to our longest serving member, Trevor Morley. Trevor has been a member of ASIS International for over 26 years. Cutting of the cake was supervised by our Senior Regional Vice President, Steve van Zwieten CPP. Steve is holding the Chapter's original Charter which was issued on 24 June 1987.

Our former Regional Vice President, Murray Mills CPP (below, left), was presented with the PCB Award of Excellence at the ASIS International Seminar and Exhibits in Las Vegas by Edward McDonough Jr CPP, President of the Professional Certification Board.

The award was made to Murray in recognition of his work on the development of an International version of the PCI examination. David Horsburgh CPP PSP was also recognised for his role as Wellington mentor for the CPP Review Programme through a PCB Regional Award.

Also in Las Vegas, member Barrie Cooper just happened to bump into former US Secretary of State, Dr Henry Kissinger.
