Purpose

The Protected Area Security Operational Planning (PASOP) is the operational manual of the Protected Area (PA). It is the guideline for all security operations in the Protected Area. It serves as a continuation tool when management changes. This PASOP plan is presented in a constructive format as it is a living document and needs to be adjusted as the dynamic in the PA changes. At the end of this course, you will have a functional management plan with Standing Order Procedures (SOP) and the necessary checklists. It is based on the Ten Steps Anti-Poaching Model.

It includes:

  • Demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the Ten (10) Step Counter-Poaching model.
  • Compile a Protected Area Security Operational Plan.
  • Compile Standing Operational Procedures for a Protected Area.
