It is imperative that officers know how to conduct themselves in a professional manner, which is to say, not get angry or overly aggressive. Officers must have the ability to articulate their position and communicate effectively.

Duties will include:

  • Conduct vehicle patrols, foot patrols, and provide response services to client homes and businesses to ensure their safety
  • Document observations and activities during assigned shift
  • Perform daily locking and unlocking functions for the appropriate spaces
  • Provide an initial response to security incidents
