Training can be the difference between being a Security Officer and being a Security Professional!
Security is a rapidly evolving industry. As the needs of business and industry grow, so do the responsibilities
of the private security officer. With this increase in responsibility there is a growing demand for responsible,
well-trained personnel to fulfill security and safety needs.
The security officer of today is responsible for:
- Relations with employees, clients and the public.
- Physical security
- Safety
- Fire Protection
- Access control of both persons and packages
- Employee theft prevention
- Investigation
- Developing and initiating emergency plans
- Traffic control
- Crowd Management
These responsibilities are very important and they must be performed with the minimum degree of error.
We do not need the Security Officer of the past, we need the Security Professional of today.
Training is one of the keys to this challenge. No longer can we hire someone and put them on assignment with only a new uniform and a quick verbal job description. Many states require an initial amount of training for a person to become authorized to work in the security field in that state. A background check is performed and the training is recorded. Much of this training is designed to be based to teach to a minimum level. Our training is designed for those that want to take their profession to the next level.
