What Does A Security Officer Usually Do On His Shift?

1. Anonymous Says

   Your General Post Orders and Site Specific Post Orders will give you detailed information on what the Client expects you to do during your shift.
   Otherwise, ask your Field or On-Site Supervisor.
   Since every post is different, I can give you only that general information.
   In your log goes (briefly) Who, What, When, Where, How and (if possible) Why. Make sure all those things are included.
   If you must call in a report, get the name (and badge if applicable) of who you reported to at what time. The same goes for face-to-face report. ‘I called Dispatch and reported the incident to Sergeant Paul Jones Sh #285 at 2117 hours.’
   Note Site, Day, Shift, your Name, Partner’s name (if you have one), Weather.
   Get correct spellings of names and contact information. Print clearly, do not hand write. Your Log and Reports may well be used in Court and might mean the difference in someone going free or to jail.
   Never speculate or suppose. You may only write down facts, whether you saw and/or heard them or it was reported by someone (name and contact information) else.
   Become familiar with the people on your post, but never contact anyone about site information except your Supervisor unless specifically instructed to do so.
   RULE ONE: Anything you are not sure of, ask and follow orders. Do not take initiative until you have years of training and experience. You have a Supervisor, follow orders. Anything goes wrong, you followed orders.
   Stay Awake. Stay on Post until relieved. Do not use Cell Phone, Ipod, MP3 or whatever. You are there to work.
   Remember, you can’t see all the cameras, and some are pointed at you.
   Once again, because it is the downfall of so many of us, when unsure, ASK and FOLLOW ORDERS.

   Depends on your post. Some post want you to sit behind a desk and watch cameras all day long other post want you to walk all day some post want you to deal with every person that enters the buliding.
   You will find out when ever the post you go to is.
   About how long the training is get ready because you spend a lot of time training because we live in a sue happy time and they want you as trained as the can get you. You also might be getting more training then just the regular this is how you do your job training. They might train you in First Aid or in AED or CPR all those are really good to get and I would say if they don’t train you in that you should get the training on your own

   I have no idea of what duties you will be assigned. Your assumption that every unarmed guard in the world has the same duties is incredibly stupid.
