Role Overview

As a Security Officer - Mobile Patrol, you will play a vital role in safeguarding our clients' premises and ensuring the safety and security of their employees, visitors, and assets. You will conduct routine patrols of assigned areas, respond to alarms and incidents, monitor access control, and provide excellent customer service. This position requires a strong attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and the ability to remain calm and composed in stressful situations.

A Day in the Life of a Mobile Patrol Security Officer

Your day will typically begin with a briefing from the supervisor, where you'll receive updates on any specific security concerns or incidents from the previous shift. You'll then start your patrol route, which may include manufacturing plants, industrial sites, warehouses, and parking lots. Using a company-provided vehicle, you'll drive along a pre-determined route, stopping frequently to check on designated areas.

When you arrive at a check point, you will be on foot. You will scan a QR code or NFC tag and that will automatically record the date, time, and GPS location on your mobile device. You will visually inspect the area for any signs of intrusion, vandalism, or other security breaches. You'll check that doors and windows are secure, that lighting is functioning properly, and that there are no safety hazards present.

When checking a large site, you may be walking around for an hour or more. You need to remain alert at all times, looking and listening for anything out of the ordinary. If you spot something suspicious, you'll investigate further and, if necessary, contact the local law enforcement.

In addition to patrolling, you'll also be responsible for responding to alarms and other security incidents. You may need to assist with crowd control, provide first aid, or direct emergency services to the scene. You'll also be required to write detailed reports of any incidents that occur during your shift.
