Officers Training and Orientation

Once the screening and interview process is completed the applicants must complete job orientation programs, both in the classroom and on the job. This ensures that the security officer selected and assigned to you, will have the required knowledge and ability to do the work specifically tailored to client needs. The orientation program addresses the following:

• Principles and purpose of security
• Duties and functions of the individual security officer.
• Authority of the individual security officer’s legal authority, principles for proper search and seizure of persons, jurisdiction and authority of the security officer while on duty.
• Specific duties, including sufficient site indoctrination as to responsibilities at the work site, communication and reporting procedures, expected demeanor, courtesy, loss prevention techniques and applicable civil/criminal law.
• Employee, public and labor relations.
• Communication procedures relating to routine and emergency matters.
• Guidelines for identifying safety hazards and fire protection techniques, use of various types of fire extinguishers and basic C.P.R. training.
• Proper emergency procedures and reporting.

A minimum of 16 hours of instruction covering the above subjects will be provided to all security officers.
