What we do
Security officer will be at a desk at or near the front of the building. This generally allows them to control access to the building. This may be in the form of direct control, such as having to open or close a door to admit people, or having to use a key to allow people to go up in an elevator. It may be in the form of requiring people to check in at the security desk and receive a visitor's badge, or requiring people to sign in and out of a building.
Security guards and personnel will often perform surveillance functions within a company. They may monitor security cameras to determine whether there are any potential problems. By monitoring the security cameras and the building itself, security personnel can watch for signs of break-in or for other problems, such as fire, a burst sprinkler or something else that might cause damage.
Security personnel also act as a deterrent to criminals. Those who may want to rob a building may be reluctant to do so if a security guard is present on site. While security personnel do not have the authority to arrest a criminal or someone who wants to cause harm, they can detain the individual until local law enforcement arrives to perform an arrest. This can be an important feature in protecting company property.
Like many law enforcement officials, security guards are required to patrol the grounds over which they have responsibility, such as an office building, a private residence, or a college campus. While on patrol, the guard will maintain order and look out for irregularities.
Security guards are generally responsible for investigating all irregularities that come to their attention, such as after being notified a visitor or through the activation of an alarm. The guard should try to determine the cause of the irregularity and then take appropriate action.
Security guards must also maintain all security systems, including burglar and fire alarms, motion detectors, and anti-theft devices. This includes turning on the systems when required and keeping them in proper working order.
Security guards are also expected to apprise visitors of appropriate rules of conduct. This can include areas that are off-limits, dress codes, and inappropriate behavior. The guard should also make clear the consequences of violating these policies.
If a person has violated a law within their jurisdiction, it is generally the responsibility of the security guards to apprehend them, using force if necessary. For this reason, most guards are generally required to receive training in the use of force, as well as laws governing private apprehensions.
In the event of a crime, a fire, or a medical emergency, the security guards should notify the relevant municipal agency and provide them assistance if required.
One of the primary duties of security guards is to control access to buildings. Many security guards are positioned near entrances so they can regulate the flow of visitors. In the event that a visitor needs special access to a locked facility, the guard is often the person who will provide it.
Security guards will often inspect packages or parcels entering and exiting a building to prevent the admittance of weapons and to limit theft.
At the end of each shift, most security guards will submit a written report detailing their activities and any events of importance that occurred.
