 "The Security Auditing Course was a great success," says Plessner. "We had about 60 attendees representing from various correctional facilities, military, police, and immigration." What made the course so interesting was Plessners style of teaching, unique certainly to Thailand. Vic divided the class up into ten Teams and had each Team role play as though they had to do a real security audit. To make things interesting and at times very humorous, Vic pretended to be an associate Director of a fictitious prison. He intentionally gave wrong answers and at times appeared to be outlandish in his responses to what should have been good security. But the skits drove home the message.
"What I really liked was the final reports from the teams. They handled it with the most extreme professionalism I have ever witnessed," says Vic Plessner. "Instead of criticizing the inept Associate Director (played by Plessner), they kept to the point and all gave very thorough assessments and recommendations."
Each attendee was awarded a Certificate of Completion and many of them suggested the Course be given in other parts of Thailand.
Vic has over 35 years experience as an International Security Consultant. When Pablo Escobar escaped from a Colombian prison, Vic Plessner was hired to re-design their prisons and revise their Federal Prison Polices and Procedures and to introduce new courses at their school of corrections. Vic solved a prison security problem by having an entire village relocated. In another example, he recommended a lunch program for the poor people adjacent to a shipping port to reduce theft and to work with the local people instead of against them. He also encouraged the building of hospital wings and soccer fields.
