Our job is to deter or prevent negative activity, and modify behavior by educating individuals as to the rules and regulations of the client’s property. 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
