ABSTRACT
The uniformed security officers who provide the security presence in high-rise buildings, construction sites, major sporting events, and other public gatherings are the backbone of the security industry. As crime and social problems increasingly overwhelm the ability of public law enforcement agencies to provide adequate services, private security companies must fill gap and augment public law enforcement with effective and efficient security services. The goal for private security companies should be to provide for continuing sophisticated training for the security officer. The management of a crime/incident scene in workplace where security officer will most likely encounter an incident or accident follows basic common-sense guidelines. The security officer maintaining control over the scene should establish a crime/incident scene log at the earliest possible opportunity. It is not normally the responsibility of the security officer on the scene to interview witnesses, but if he has opportunity, he should obtain the names, addresses, contact numbers, and other identifying information of the witnesses.
