ABSTRACT

Security companies and officers come in all stripes. Many security company officers are professional in appearance and performance of duty. The personnel are neatly groomed in clean and pressed uniforms, expertly trained, and well paid. They engender the same respect and carry the same esteem as their professional counterparts, police officers. Their personal courage is commensurate with their position. Their duties include nearly all ranges of factors that will impact upon the security, safety, and public image of their client or “in-house” company. They are as calm and efficient in handling the emergency as they are in addressing the routine. Their ancillary duties include working with the public in a manner that requires them to be ambassadors of good will to the passerby, the person needing directions, as well as their client.
