Unarmed Security Officer
Unarmed security officers are responsible for monitoring a person or location, such as a retail store, a concert hall, or an office building. Their duties include crime prevention, monitoring surveillance videos, investigating suspicious activity, and reporting to a police officer if needed. The day-to-day work of a security officer depends on their role. A retail security officer’s goal is theft prevention and video monitoring, while a security officer at a concert hall may check bags for illegal devices. All unarmed security officers must be alert and professional. Patrons or customers will go to officers with concerns or questions, so excellent communication skills are also needed.
