Private Security (Professional)

Private Security (Professional)

Security is one of the fastest-growing professional careers worldwide. A career in the security field provides a multitude of opportunities. These opportunities range from entry-level officer positions to investigators specializing in specific areas and managers of security at major corporations. The demand for heightened security is being increased by theft of information, workplace violence, terrorism and economic crime.

Security officers patrol, inspect and protect against fire, theft, vandalism, terrorism and criminal activity. Security officers protect their employer’s investment, enforce laws on property and deter criminal activity and other problems. They must be proficient in using radio, telephone, alarm and surveillance systems to call for assistance from police, fire or emergency medical services as situations arise. Officers are required to write reports outlining observations and activities that occur during their assigned shifts. And they may be required to interview witnesses or victims and may prepare case reports and testify in court.
