Introduction
The
roles and responsibilities of today’s Security Officer have increased in recent
years, Companies have become much more cost conscious and therefore more aware
of their requirements to prevent losses/wastage.
Many
companies realise this and employ Security Officers in order
to prevent and detect losses by theft, prevent water damage, fire damage, and
vandalism, they can prevent wastage, and control access i.e. visitors, contractors,
workforce etc into the Clients premises.
The
Security Officer therefore has become an integral part of the management of
a site. They are in a position of both authority and responsibility.
The
days of the night watchman are now gone, modern day Security Officers are people
who know and understand their responsibilities and diligently apply their sense
of sight, hearing and suspicion in order to ensure that property and people
are adequately protected.
The Security Officer of today can play
an important determining role in the successful operations of any business,
corporate or manufacturing, retail or financial. No matter what the industry

Tutors
All of our Instructors have a minimum of five years continuous employment as operational Security Officers.
Their underpinning knowledge of the subjects they teach are very apparent in their delivery, they teach from their own experience and not just " ad-hoc" from a training manual.
This in our opinion gives the student a far better insight into the subjects being taught , more importantly it gives the inductee a much better perspective into the roles and responsibilities of a Security Officer by being taught by a tutor who has actually worked as an operational Security Officer.
