Duties and Responsibilities, including:
Security of People – Probably the most important of the three security responsibilities

Crowd Control – Control the crowd before the riot starts

Lost & Found People – Sensitivities in this area are paramount for good public relations and effective results.

Lost & Found Items – What, if anything can you keep or more importantly who can keep what, and do you give it to, just as a start.

Strikes & Lockouts – This information includes how to know what is coming and when even before the employees do.

Access Control – Isn’t it a primary job, to control access to the client’s premises, how and with what methods.

Alarm Response – Security guards must be very aware of how & why alarms perform, and know how to address an alarm when it does occur.

Patrol Procedures– Knowing where to go, and what to do when you get there is another priority for security guards.

Security Of Information – People, Property and now Information. These three are the most important security responsibilities of security guards. They must know what to secure and how to secure it.

Standing Orders – Standing Orders are the basic rules and regulations that the security guard will follow. Knowing what they are, who and how to change them will ensure that the site runs smoothly.

Court Procedures for Security Officers – Every security guard should expect to attend court as part of their duties. Understanding what is expected of them will facilitate success for both the company and the client

Fire Safety & Prevention – This area is the most important and each security guard must demonstrate proficiency in this area to successfully graduate and be certified.

General Safety & Accident Prevention – This part of the program provides a working understanding of the principals of safety and accident prevention. The main theme for the security professional is that an accident is a caused occurrence – Don’t be the cause

Bomb Threat and Response Procedures – In today’s reality, it is not necessary to justify the need for this program.

General & Emergency search procedures – Seek and you shall find. This program teaches what to look for and how to find it.

Use of Force for Security Guards – Everyone is responsible for the force they use. Security guards put the client and company in jeopardy if they use inappropriate or excessive force.

Basic First Aid for Security Guards – We can never stress enough the importance of first aid training, for EVERY security officer.

Traffic Control for Security Guards – With the Highway Traffic Act effective on private property in certain circumstances, security guards must be aware of how to apply and enforce the rules.

Security and WSIB – Employees and visitors have “accidents” periodically, and if the security guard understands how to firstly prevent and if necessary investigate these incidents, their value to the client will be vastly increased.

Security & the Charter of Rights – In today’s reality, personal rights and freedoms are very much in view. Knowledge of this act is imperative to be an effective security guard.

Security & the Police – Security guards will work with, and must nurture such relations with the police. They must be knowledgeable in the various ways their assistance will be expected.
