Security Officer Division
Wackenhut recognized some time ago that the concept of one-size fits all really does not apply to our diverse customer base. The Security Officer program is designed to meet the needs of a diverse client base by selecting and training officers based on the specific needs and requirements set forth by demanding customers and by, providing best in class service that exceeds customer expectations.
Wackenhut’s Security Officer personnel are trained to respond effectively and safely to routine and emergency situations. This contributes to total asset conservation as well as property liability reduction, and is no more or less than what you should expect and receive from your security program.
Wackenhut understands the multifaceted role played by security officers. They must be equal parts protector, ambassador, observer, and enforcer of property rules; with the capacity to effectively interact with your management, employees, visitors, and vendors alike.
The role of the Wackenhut Security Officer depends on the nature of the operating environment. Security officers serve in any or all of the following roles:
- customer service
- act as a visible deterrent to crime
- increase security awareness at all levels
- control access to building(s) by enforcing employee identification procedures, i.e. photo identification badges and/or access cards
- update authorized access lists as needed
- maintain visitor and contractor sign-in logs
- monitor CCTV equipment, fire panels and alarms
- respond to alarms
- patrol exterior of building (depending upon the size of the property, a combination of foot, bike and motorized patrols may be recommended)
- guard against and inspect for vandalism, intruders, illegal entry, theft, loitering, and parking violations
- patrol interior portions of the building(s)
- enforce rules and regulations
- prepare written incident reports for any thefts, injuries, or unusual events
- report hazardous or unusual conditions or malfunctions observed
- attend periodic security/safety meetings
- assist in emergency planning
- establish professional relationship with local law enforcement
