ABSTRACT

The majority of what the typical security officer will do during a shift is patrol or be stationed at a particular position or assignment and perform visual patrols of some type. Little is written about the function of gaming patrol or positional assignments other than in various organizational procedural manuals for various casinos. Security personnel should be oriented and trained on company or tribal procedures for each assignment, stationary position, and patrol area. This chapter will examine the basic assignments and duties of the security officer in a typical gaming environment.
