Military Personnel
In fact, our elite Custom Protection Officer® Division was created with the U.S. Armed Forces in mind. This program mandates prior military service as a qualifier for employment, with Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) such as M.P., Combat Arms, Security Forces, Special Operations, or career military.
Our Custom Protection Division is deployed to service locations where the need for quality, well disciplined, expertly trained security personnel is in demand. Venues that typically looked for off-duty or contract police service or proprietary services employ our highly skilled Custom Protection Officers. Locations such as transit systems, courthouses, prisoner transport and booking operations, residential security programs, to include special response teams and K-9 handlers, and many other exciting locales.
The unfortunate and cowardly acts of terrorism on September 11, 2001 have likely changed the domestic security industry forever. The Wackenhut Corporation is uniquely qualified and prepared to meet these new challenges through our Custom Protection Division and YOU!!
You may have seen our recruiters at military job fairs, our advertisements in Stars and Stripes or Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corp. Times, and now through our web site.
Wackenhut offers the perfect “fit” for those transitioning out of the military. Our Military Transition Program provides you with an opportunity to live in the area of your choosing and earn a good living working for a company that values your military experience, and possibly pursue a career path with our organization or in law enforcement, corrections, or federal employment.
You owe it to yourself and your family to inquire. Please take a moment to visit our Careers area. It might be the first step towards a new and rewarding career with Wackenhut. Join the thousands of veterans who have made Wackenhut their post-military career choice!
