We wrote the book on aviation security

In 2008, Leading Edge Strategies Principal Jeff Price completed Practical Aviation Security; a book that is rapidly becoming the industry “must have “ book, Already a seasoned and experienced commercial airport security coordinator and general aviation airport manager, Price’s research took him to dozens of airports and airlines throughout the U.S. and the world. Research trips to Israel, London, Ireland and Canada, plus thousands of hours of research and countless interviews, were combined with the guiding hand of his co-author, Dr. Jeffrey S. Forrest, Department Chair of Aviation and Aerospace Science at the Metropolitan State College of Denver, to produce a comprehensive, yet easy-to-understand field manual for aviation security practitioners.

Practical Aviation Security is currently available for purchase at Elsevier, Barnes and Noble, or Amazon.
