What do you think is the most important thing that security managers can do to ensure the safety of their employees?

Example: "The most important thing that security managers can do to ensure the safety of their employees is to create and implement an effective security plan. This plan should include measures to protect employees from physical and psychological harm, as well as provide for their safety in the event of an emergency. The security plan should be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure that it remains effective."

parking lots

The final area in need of remedy is that the third-party-owned lots lack standardization under NFL policy rules. The NFL should therefore reach out to thirdparty lot owners to create similar unified policies in these lots, and provide said lots with NFL security forces as needed. This measure will help to reduce the chance of terrorists attacking lots not owned by the league. Funding the security measures to protect both franchise and third-party owned lots would likely have to be provided by the NFL. The league's inherent need to achieve a safe environment for its fans, personnel, and structures serves its interests, so the NFL should pay to provide these additional security measure.

"With this experience under my belt, I'm looking for an opportunity to take the next step in my career. I'm hoping to do so in an organization like yours .

15. How do you handle situations where employees violate security policies?

When dealing with employees who violate security policies, my approach is to first assess the severity of the violation and its potential impact on the organization. If it's a minor infraction or an honest mistake, I would address the issue directly with the employee, providing guidance and reiterating the importance of adhering to security protocols. This may also involve offering additional training or resources to help them better understand the policy. However, if the violation is more severe or poses a significant risk to the company, I would follow the established escalation procedures, which typically involve involving HR and upper management. In these cases, it's essential to conduct a thorough investigation, gather evidence, and document all findings. The goal is to ensure that appropriate disciplinary actions are taken while maintaining fairness and transparency throughout the process. Ultimately, handling security violations effectively requires balancing the need for enforcing policies with fostering a culture of trust and open communication among employees."

COngerging my phtycial and cyber together*******

With more devices connected to internal networks than ever before, approaching cybersecurity with physical security measures in mind helps create a well-rounded strategy that covers your business from multiple angles, and removes redundancies across your security teams. -This type of security strategy safeguards essential business data, critical and confidential information, as well as hardware, personnel and other tangible structures.

Why should we hire you?

Working knowledge of Constitutional, Statutory, and Civil Law Working knowledge of Business and Facility Management, Emergency Planning, Emergency Management, Legal and Regulatory aspects, Crowd Management, and Security Principles and Practices preferred Supervisory/Management in Security/Loss Prevention experience, related Facility Security Management background preferred You must own your own firearm. Able to work nights, weekends, and holidays as needed

Have you ever planned security for a special event? If so, describe your approach.

Yes, being union president and acting Lieutant, worked along side senior maganement in planing special security events. These events for us, could be high level VIP personel from washington DC, Foreign visitors. another special event that we could encouter could be the delivery of higher level radioactive materials that requires a higher level of security when transporting them. I would analyze the risks and determine the level of security that would need to be required. If transporting higher level materials through the site, I would first determine if extra officers are needed for the transport and deliverly as well as what PPE would be needed incase of the hazards of the materails. i would make sure that the additional officers understood there roles and responsabilites and make sure that they have the required euipment to perform their duties safely. I would also see if the deliverly of the higher level of materials can occur during an off shift, such as nights or weekends in order to have only essential personel on site. By doing this, it can limit 400 plus empployees on site to just essential personel, which would create a safer and more secure envirment. this will also allow offciers to be more free instead of dealing with all other personel. this would create a more safe and secured envirmoent when transporting.

an effective training program

first step:identify the intended outcome-For example, if a security officer requires patrol skills, then it is necessary to identify specifically what he or she needs to be able to do. -major purposes of patrols include detecting and preventing unauthorized activity, ensuring compliance with organizational operations, inspecting physical security systems, and responding to emergencies. T Second Step:the creation and acquisition of course documents for both instructors and students.-EX;Instructor documents -marking rubric is the document by which students are graded -Finally, course documents 3rd step:Training Delivery and Adult Learning how the training will be delivered. -Cognitive training is generally considered to be foundational knowledge -Psychomotor skills development involves the actual hands-on operation -One of the more effective forms of testing is scenario-based, in which students are placed into a realistic work setting similar to one they might encounter in their jobs.

A suspicious item is any item (e.g., bag, package, vehicle, etc.) that is reasonably believed to contain explosives, an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), or other hazardous material that requires a bomb technician and/or specialized equipment to further evaluate it. Examples that could indicate a bomb include unexplainable wires or electronics, other visible bomb-like components, and unusual sounds, vapors, mists, or odors. Generally speaking, anything that is Hidden, Obviously suspicious, and not Typical (HOT) should be deemed suspicious. In addition, potential indicators for a bomb are threats, placement, and proximity of the item to people and valuable assets.

What are your procedures for dealing with emergencies?

"In the event of an emergency, the first thing that our venue manager will do is to assess the situation and determine whether it is something that can be handled by our staff or if we need to call for assistance from emergency services. If it is something that our staff can handle, then we will proceed with our emergency procedures. If it is something that requires assistance from emergency services, then we will immediately call 911 and provide them with information about the situation. We will also provide them with any information they may need about our venue, such as our address and the layout of our facility."

Can you describe your approach to ensuring compliance with relevant safety regulations and industry standards?

"Safety is a top priority in facilities management. I stay up-to-date with the latest safety regulations and industry best practices, conducting regular safety audits and inspections. I develop comprehensive safety programs, including training sessions, emergency response plans, and safety guidelines. By fostering a culture of safety awareness, engaging employees through regular communication, and enforcing strict adherence to safety protocols, we can maintain a safe working environment and prevent accidents or incidents."

Superdome evac plan

-All elevators escaltors tunred off - -Improvements- when watching a video about the evacaution plan, i noticed that there were no marking on the floor or walls which show where to exit. i believe maybe having soemthing on the floors to for guest to follow to the app. exits would help guest with directions. during a crisis guest can and will experience a decrease in their decision making skills. having some sort of ligght up sysyem that illuminates during emerg. or signage will help with guest knowing where to exit.

weekness

1. 2. Public speaking-i alwasy make sure to place myself in public speaking roles in order to feel more comfrabale and confident in speaking in front of people. For ex. When i was a Lt in my last job i would have to give guard mounts in front of other officers about any new procedure updates, security concerns and job assignments. This helped me with public speaking. ALso hwne i become a Union president i would give large speaches during counsel meetings to offciers and would also regulary conduct safety meetings and briefings with high level excecutives. This helped me branch out of my comfort zone and allowed me to become a more clear and conise public speaker. 3. deligating task-i tend to try and do all task given to me my self which creates a large task list. instead of hadnlign all task myself in my past i have instead given task to other superivors or officer to handle lower level task in order for me to be able to handle the higher level task more efficenlty and allowing me to not overwork myself. By giving task to officers it allowed them to branch out and be given more responsiblity and opportunities to grow profesionally too. 4. very strong attention to detail-his can turn into a tendency to perfectionism. In the past, I found this leading me to triple-checking every little detail when creating presentaion layout formats, memos about new security procedures and even sending emails. I've since learned to successfully budget my time and gauge which tasks require and actually benefit from this level of precision."

active shooter

Active Shooter: An active shooter is an armed person (regardless of weapon used) who has used deadly physical force on other persons and continues to do so while having unrestricted access to additional victims. Active shooter events are dynamic and may go in and out of an "active" status; a static incident may turn into an active shooter event or an active shooter may go "inactive" by going to a barricaded status without access to victims

*******What is your experience in managing physical security operations?*****

As a Physical Security profesional who has been involved in many leadership roles for the past 9+ years, I have been responsible for overseeing security operations as a nuclear facilty. My experience includes managing a team of 6+ federal armed officers who are tasked with access control, CCTV monitoring, incident response, and the recovery of stolen nuclear materials. I've also developed and implemented comprehensive security policies and procedures to ensure the safety of employees and assets. For example, i have helped managers assess and improve the departments badging systems and camera systems. this involved with idebfitying weekness in the current badging system and what software features would help with access control. Also for camera systems, i helped identified areas that had limited or no camera coverage. i helped design camera placements throughtout the faciclty that would offer maxium secutity protection offered by the system One of my key achievements however, was actually designing and executing a training program that improved our security team's retention and promoted officer growth and knowlege. in fact every officer that was chosen to be involved in this leadership delevelopmen program, became permeant high level superviros and are still working at the site currently. This holistic approach has significantly enhanced the overall security posture of the organization."

14. Describe your experience in managing security personnel, including hiring, training, and performance evaluation.

As a security Lt, I have extensive experience in managing security personnel. My responsibilities include hiring new team members, ensuring they receive proper training, and conducting performance evaluations to maintain high standards of service. Once hired, I prioritize providing comprehensive training programs that cover both technical skills and soft skills like communication and teamwork. This includes hands-on exercises, workshops, and regular refresher courses to keep everyone up-to-date with industry best practices and emerging threats. Additionally, I establish clear expectations and performance metrics for each team member, which allows me to evaluate their progress objectively during performance reviews. These evaluations help identify areas for improvement and provide opportunities for professional growth within the team, ultimately contributing to a more effective and cohesive security unit."

Can you describe the process of conducting a comprehensive security risk assessment?

Certainly. A comprehensive security risk assessment begins with identifying and defining the scope of the assessment, which includes determining the assets that need protection, such as physical locations, personnel, or sensitive information. This step also involves understanding the organization's objectives and priorities to align the assessment with its overall goals. The next phase is data collection, where we gather information about potential threats, vulnerabilities, and existing security measures in place. This may involve reviewing documentation, interviewing key personnel, and conducting site visits to observe current security practices. We then analyze this data to identify risks by evaluating the likelihood and impact of each threat materializing, taking into account any existing controls. Once we have a clear picture of the risks, we prioritize them based on their potential consequences and develop appropriate mitigation strategies. These strategies could include implementing new security policies, investing in technology solutions, or providing employee training. Finally, we document our findings and recommendations in a detailed report, which serves as a roadmap for enhancing the organization's security posture. Regular reviews and updates to the risk assessment are essential to ensure it remains relevant and effective in addressing evolving threats."

********Can you describe the process of conducting a risk assessment for a facility?*******

Certainly. The first step in conducting a risk assessment for a facility is to identify and categorize the assets that require protection, such as personnel, property, information, and reputation. This involves understanding the value of each asset and its importance to the organization. The next step is to evaluate potential threats and vulnerabilities associated with these assets. Threats can be natural disasters, criminal activities, or even insider threats. Vulnerabilities are weaknesses in physical security measures, policies, or procedures that could be exploited by those threats. To gather this information, I would conduct site surveys, review existing security measures, and consult with relevant stakeholders. Once threats and vulnerabilities have been identified, I assess the likelihood and impact of each threat materializing, taking into account the current security measures in place. Based on this analysis, I prioritize risks and develop recommendations for mitigating them. These recommendations may include implementing new security technologies, enhancing access control procedures, or providing additional training for staff. Finally, I present my findings and proposed solutions to senior management, ensuring they understand the rationale behind each recommendation and how it supports the overall security strategy of the organization."

BombIf you suspect that the suspicious package may contain a hazardous material type substance

If you suspect that the suspicious package may contain a hazardous material type substance (example: ricin, anthrax, etc.) Leave the mail or package where it was found. Do not disturb. Do not try to clean the substance. Do not touch, taste, smell, or try to identify the substance. Clear the immediate area of all persons and keep others away. Cordon off the immediate area. Instruct people to wash hands and other exposed skin with soap and water, if a wash station is in the immediate area. Isolate exposed persons to a designated area away from the substance - but nearby, in order to limit any further contamination of your facility - and await further instruction. Shut down all HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) systems and room fans, heaters, etc. Document the location of mail or package.

Crowd Control Tips: Keeping Your Cool When Things Get Crowded

Designate specific entry and exit lanes for attendees: Install clear signs for directions Identify and address potential congestion points: Redirect traffic from crowded areas Maintain vigilant for signs of distress Remind attendees of essential information

Key physical security measures

Deterrence: This type of physical security technology focuses on keeping unwanted people, vehicles or animals away from a certain area. Deterrence can encompass various equipment such as signage, security cameras and door access systems. It also includes physical barriers such as doors, locks and walls. It is essentially any security systems or equipment that can help deter intruders from entering sensitive areas. Detection: Deterrents can only do so much. If you want to fully protect your facility, you need to have devices that can identify potential intruders and ways to alert the correct authorities. Some technologies you can use for physical security detection measures are sensors, alarms and automatic notifications via video management software. Delay: Several physical security controls are created to slow intruders down when breaking into a facility. Simple security measures such as additional doors, locks and security guards can help delay incidents. More advanced physical security technology, such as key card access and mobile credentials, can make it more difficult for unauthorized users trying to enter a building. With this technology in place, it's easy to mitigate a breach before too much damage is caused. Response: Once a breach or intrusion happens, you must also have a response strategy in place, such as building lockdowns or automatically notifying emergency services.

Discovery of a Device or Suspicious Package

Discovery of a Device or Suspicious Package When a suspicious object is discovered, the following procedures are recommended: Report the location and an accurate description of the object to the appropriate authorities. Identify the danger area, cordon off, and evacuate a clear zone of at least 300 feet, including floors below and above the object.

ELEVATORS/ESCALATORS

ELEVATORS/ESCALATORS There are elevators and escalators located in the Caesars Superdome that are serviceable to all levels. There are (17) elevators, (42) escalators and 2 handicap lifts located in the Caesars Superdome. • (5) Freight elevators: - Elevator 1, 6 and 9 have a 4,500 lb. weight capacity - Elevator 5F and 9F have a 12,000 lb. weight capacity • (12) Passenger elevators - Elevators 2, 3, and 4 have a 3,000 lb. weight capacity - Elevator 7 and 8 have a 2,200 lb. weight capacity - Elevator 11, 12, 13 and 14 have a 2,500 lb. weight capacity - Elevator 2A, 7A and 8A have a 2,200 lb. weight capacity

internal threats

Employees committing theft or causing property damage Careless staff members leaving restricted areas open Mistakes made by your security team Faulty infrastructure or hazardous work conditions

bomb

Essentially, there are three available options when faced with a threat: Ignore the threat. Evacuate immediately. Search first and then evacuate, if needed. While statistical we know that few threats are real, it cannot be overlooked that attacks - both explosive and other types - have occurred. Ignoring the threat completely can result in many problems. However, while evacuating immediately on every threat is an alternative, it is disruptive. Initiating a search after a threat is received and evacuating a building after a suspicious package or device is found maybe the most desired approach.

high risk

High Risk Specific and Realistic: Threat appears to pose an immediate and serious danger to the safety of others. • Threat is direct, specific, and realistic; may include names of possible victims, specific time, and location of device • Perpetrator provides his/her identity • Threat suggests concrete steps have been taken toward carrying out the threat • Perpetrator indicates they have practiced with a weapon or have had the intended victim(s) under surveillance

act. shooter

Hot Zone: Where a direct an immediate threat exists based on the complexities and nature of the event as determined by law enforcement. Warm Zone: Where a potential exists, but the threat is not direct or immediate. An area that has already been quickly searched and secured by law enforcement is considered to be a warm zone. The threat still exists elsewhere in the building or venue, but law enforcement has cleared and secured an area to which fire and EMS personnel may be brought in to render life saving intervention to injured victims. Cold Zone: Where no significant danger or threat can be reasonably anticipated. Determined by utilizing distance, geographic location or terrain with respect to the type of firepower or explosive potential, the cold zone is the appropriate location for the Incident Command Post, Treatment Areas, Staging and logistical functions of the incident.

have you planned a special event?

I first analyze what risks may be present. I research the event host or hosting organization and see whether their past events have had security issues. I look into the overall demographic of the event's attendees. Also, the nature of the event will determine the level of security required. Once I have completed this due diligence, I dig deeper into the guests, how many people will be there, and any potential controversy. After answering these questions, I assess potential risks for public safety, criminal activity, fire, the flow of entry and exit, and overall crowd management concerns. I look at whether the location has non-human security threats. For instance, if it's an outdoor event, I consider potential threats such as wild animals or acts of nature. Next, I sort out proper security staffing. I also go in person to the event site at least once, perhaps more, depending on the size and nature of the event."

If you had to choose one area of security to focus on, what would it be and why?

If I had to choose one area of security to focus on, it would be incident response. Incident response is an essential part of any organization's security posture and requires a combination of technical expertise, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities. As a Security Operations Manager, I have experience with all aspects of incident response, from initial identification and containment to root cause analysis and post-incident reporting. I understand the importance of quickly identifying threats and responding in a timely manner to minimize damage and disruption. Furthermore, I am well-versed in developing and implementing policies and procedures for effective incident response, as well as training staff in best practices and processes. My experience has given me the ability to effectively lead teams through complex incidents while maintaining control over the situation and ensuring that appropriate steps are taken to protect the organization's assets."

*******What strategies do you use to ensure that your officers are properly trained and equipped for their duties?*******

In my previous role as a supervisor and union president, I created and implemented a comprehensive training and development plan for all officers to allow growth in more senior positions. The progrom allowed the most qualified officers to be trained by shift Lts and Captains to act as the most senior supervisor and respentative when a position neeeded to be filled the policy i created included guidelines on how to correctly choose the most qulaified officers by determining which ones demostred, strong leadership skills, job knowlwege and who had postivie outlook . this insured the right person was choosen for the job due to the large amount of respobliti it takes protecting a nueclear facilty the policy also outlined what the roles and resposnibiles of those acting supervisors were going to be in The training program improved our security team's retention issues and promoted officer growth and knowlege. in fact every officer that was chosen to be involved in this leadership delevelopmen program, became permeant high level superviros and are still working at the site currently.

security plans

In preparing to cope with an incident, it is necessary to develop two separate, but interdependent plans - namely a physical security plan and an emergency operations plan. A physical security plan addresses the protection of property, personnel, and materials; as well as, deals with the prevention of unauthorized persons in your facilities. Your emergency operations plan provides detailed procedures to be implemented when an attack is executed or threatened. Only by using defined procedures can an incident be handled with the least amount of risk to everyone.

Low Risk

Low Risk Lacks Realism: A threat that poses a minimum risk to the victim and public safety. Probable motive is to cause disruption. • Threat is vague and indirect • Information contained within the threat is inconsistent, implausible, or lacks detail • Caller is definitely known and has called numerous times • The threat was discovered instead of delivered (e.g., a threat written on a wall)

medium risk

Medium Risk Increased Level of Realism: Threat that could be carried out, although it may not appear entirely realistic. • Threat is direct and feasible • Wording in the threat suggest the perpetrator has given some thought on how the act will be carried out • May include indications of a possible place and time • No strong indication the perpetrator has taken preparatory steps, although there may be some indirect reference pointing to that possibility • Indication the perpetrator has details regarding the availability of components needed to construct a bomb • Increased specificity to the threat (e.g. "I'm serious!" or "I really mean this!")

16. What is your approach to crisis management and emergency preparedness planning?

My approach to crisis management and emergency preparedness planning involves a proactive, comprehensive strategy that focuses on prevention, response, and recovery. the first step is conducting thorough risk assessments to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities within the organization. This allows us to develop targeted plans for addressing each identified risk. Once risks are assessed, I work closely with cross-functional teams to create detailed response protocols tailored to specific scenarios. These protocols outline roles and responsibilities, communication channels, and necessary resources. Regular training sessions and drills are conducted to ensure all staff members are familiar with their roles in case of an emergency. To support recovery efforts after a crisis, I establish business continuity plans that prioritize critical operations and provide guidelines for restoring normalcy as quickly as possible. This includes regular reviews and updates to these plans to account for changes in the organization or its environment. Ultimately, my goal is to minimize disruptions and protect the well-being of employees, assets, and reputation during any crisis situation."

what is your mangament style?

My management style is very much dependent on the situation i am faced with. I will use an Autocratic style of management When decisions need to be made quickly and Rules and procedures are precisely defined, such as during crisis situations. -Second type of management style i would use is the Delegative management style. i would use this style when i need to delegate tasks and initiatives to individual team members. -Finally i will also use Transformational management style to coach, train and motivate members of the team. This type of style also creates a culture that encourages adaptability, innovation, and problem-solving, all of which are important creating a safe and secured environment.

What is your experience managing security operations for a large organization?

On multiple occasions, I acted as the senior representative for the department on security-related matters or other operational issues. On off shifts or shifts without higher management, I was responsible for assuming command of emergency or heightened security situations until properly relieved. Supervised police officers and onsite supervisors through planning and directing security activities; assigning work and managing workload. Was in charge of arming procedures of officers and armory throughout shift. Ensuring all employee necessary reports and forms (disciplinary action, incident report, call-out forms, the first report of energy, etc.) are completed, filed, and prepared accordingly, in a timely manner • Reviews and plans all meeting and special event schedules to determine staffing requirements

What happens during a physical risk assessment?

Policy and procedure overview. This step includes reviewing any physical access control system measures, security patrols, and incident response protocols to determine any weaknesses or inconsistencies in security practices. A physical security auditor can provide recommendations for improvement, if needed. Inspection of the physical premises. In this part of a physical security risk assessment, an auditor will inspect building construction, layout, lighting and landscaping for deficiencies in the infrastructure that can be easily exploited and provide recommendations for upgrades or enhancements. Testing your security systems. Technology is great, but only if it's functioning at full capacity. That's why it's important to evaluate any electronic locks, video security systems and alarm systems to ensure they are all in working order. Employee interviews. The final step in an office security office will help you gain a better understanding of how susceptible your employees are to malicious actors trying to take advantage of them to gain access to your facility, as well as help ensure that they know how to act in case of a breach or a natural disaster.

training

training plan

Security awareness for General Staff and Employees -What should I do in case of an emergency such as an active shooter? How can I recognize suspicious behavior and what protocol should I follow? Meaning it is all about information, scenarios, and how to address them. General staff must be trained in understanding the unique dangers that can impact them and how they are expected to respond to safeguard their own security until such threats have been neutralized. -professional security personnel should focus on crisis management and be far more detailed, down to exact operational procedures and specific threat scenarios. -Suspicious behavioral indicators -Relevant SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) -Crisis support (ransom, hostage, kidnapping handling awareness) -Action/reaction scenario training (active shooter, terrorism, public disorder, etc.) -Weapons, Explosives and Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) recognition What are the Relevant Security Threats in Your Industry? -The Infrastructure Industry - Plenty of Space, Plenty of Weaknesses

tell me about your self

Well as you can see from my resume, I started my career in law enfrocement at ST tammany parish sheriffs office as a correctional officer and field training officer. After corrections, I Ibecame a police officer WIth LSU Police Department and graduated from CAptial area regional training academy located in Baton Rouge. Whiel at LSU i worked multpie game day events, which has given me knowledge about protecting and security large venues during football games and other sporting events. While at LSU, We conducted some training for the nuclear science blds that was put on by DOE officers from OAk ridge TN. After hearing how they were responsible for protecting the nation's most secured critical infrastructures and classified materials, I decided that I wanted to challenge myself and gain additional knowledge in physical security. Throughout my DOE career, I became an acting supervisor as well as the Union President for around 40 officers. While in these roles I created new training and safety programs and helped update policies and procedures. I am also currently going to school full-time as well to obtain my bachelor's degree in cybersecurity and information. Once I Graduate with my cybersecurity degree I will be able to converge this with my physical security experience which will allow me to add more value to my employer and will allow me to be better prepared for new and emerging security threats of the future.

Security

an additional level of safety for fans. The limitations on bag size and style is a further enhancement for convenience and safety. How does the new policy improve public safety? There will be a secondary perimeter around the stadium where security personnel will check for prohibited items or bags being carried toward the stadium so those situations can be corrected immediately. This establishes a protected buffer area for fans in plaza-level areas and at the queues for stadium entry. Prohibited bags will be turned away. A

Search techniques

any room put in two virtually equal parts. This equal division should be based on the number and type of objects in the room and not on the actual size of the room. The room should be searched is systematic 'sweeps'. The first sweep should cover all items resting on the floor up to the selected height (for example - waist height). The second, third, and fourth sweep should work progressively higher until the entire room has been searched, including any drop ceilings and overhead fixtures. do not touch just look for suscpious items

weekness

don't give real weakness; -well see, i have very high standards and unfortunetly not everybody shares those standards which can sometimes lead to a bit of frustation, what i found is now with a little bit of good communication i can smooth that over and it never really ends up being a problem. 2. I am good at public speaking, but i hate it and do not like being center stage, however i believe being an affective public speaker is essential to my profesion, so i alway make sure to get into roles that allows me to overcome this and become more comfortable, such as being a supervisor and a Union president. 3.

An emergency management program

examines potential emergencies and disasters based on the risks posed by likely hazards; develops and implements programs aimed toward reducing the impact of these events on the community, prepares for those risks that cannot be eliminated; and prescribes the actions required to deal with the consequences of actual events and to recover from those events.

Conducts inspections and audits to assure the quality of service of subordinate personnel

iIn order to assess officer performace and competency: i will do this by: -adminst job specific knowledge test, this can be for legal, use of force policy, active shooter responses and so forth. this can be done by issuing a multiple choice test online with perfornmce feed back from the score of the exam. -table top scenarios with officers. give a walk through of the type of calls they can be responding to and how best to respond to these, such as door alarms or other types of alarm calls. -can have super conduct training while on shift of different types of scencors officers can face. can have those officers act respond to them in a moch type drill set up. Benefits of conducting regular evaluations Evaluations are one way to keep your team accountable and performing at their best. Instead of trying to guess what could be improved and what's working well, evaluations give you empirical data that you can use to make improvements/adjustments. Security companies benefit from evaluations in the following ways: Management can see a trend of service standards, and identify areas where they may need to offer additional training or instructions to guards They can correct inefficient processes and focus on helping their guards work more productively without having to work harder They can improve quality standards Guards understand what their employer is looking for, and can seek direction on how to make necessary changes Evaluations can serve as an opportunity to have some one-on-one time with your employees
