How to Be Successful as a Security Officer or Security Guard

Several tips on how to be successful as a security officer or security guard, especially in periods of downtime. The first tip is to further your security training through continuing education, the second point is to be proactive rather than reactive about potential problems, and the third suggestion is to regularly check your equipment. (Please excuse the bugs in the video; it is springtime bug season.)

Never let any one threaten you.

[@brandonandryka4984]

Always look like your awake. Especially 13 hours in to a 16 hour shift.

[@dasandman14]

That’s a good tip as well!

Always stay alert and learn as much as you can about the property you are protecting. You need to know what is normal so that you can detect anything that stands out as unusual and report it. For example, familiarize yourself with all entrances and exits so that if a door is open or broken, you can request for it to be repaired.

[@tyshawnwheeler9467]

What does Keegan basically do

[@alansweet7171]

Write down new suggestions for the security company to improve various things like policies, communications,and morals with its officers. Even if upper management never acknowledges what you write down, it is better than staring at your cell phone most of your shifts or sitting on your duppas the entire shift just to get fired! Like he said: Be proactive and become a valuable asset to the company paying you $$$$$ to do so.

[@dasandman14]

Great points. Policies and procedures can be improved.

[@jacobwilkins3393]

I think you have a really good video

It depends on the type of training you receive. If you join a good company and get some solid training, you can be successful in the field.

Hi, what are the requirements for a security officer?

[@dasandman14]

It depends on what kind of security job you work. Usually, it is just a high school diploma and maybe a driver’s license. Other sites require security experience.

[@solcoster8110]

Security Course in your area is your best bet, it does come with a cost.

$13 an hour if you have your security D license in Florida if you don't they'll give you $10 an hour to stand on the 50-yard line with 3D you can stand on the field with Brady and make 13 an hour or you can stand on the 50-yard line in the stands and check people in by their shoes or their phone and make 10 an hour
