THIS INTRODUCTORY FILM STRESSES THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SECURITY OFFICER'S JOB TO THE COMPANY HE WORKS FOR AND TO THE NON-SECURITY PERSONNEL WHO WORK WITH HIM.
Abstract
THE VARIETY OF ASSIGNMENTS THAT THE SECURITY OFFICER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKE HIM A SAFETY OFFICER, A PUBLIC RELATIONS REPRESENTATIVE, A CRIME INVESTIGATOR, AN OBSERVANT PATROLLER, AN ACCESS GUARD, AND A CRIME STOPPER. THIS FILM BRIEFLY DISCUSSES THESE DIFFERENT ROLES AS WELL AS SOME OTHER FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS OF THE JOB: REPORT WRITING, THE USE OF FORCE, AND EMERGENCY COORDINATION. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE SECURITY OFFICER'S JOB IS TO UNDERSTAND FULLY THE OPERATIONS OF THE PLANT (OR STORE) SO HE CAN TELL WHEN THINGS ARE GOING WRONG - MANY GOOD SECURITY OFFICERS DEVELOP A 'SIXTH SENSE' THAT AIDS THEM IN THIS RESPECT. A DISCUSSION LEADER'S GUIDE IS INCLUDED. SEE ALSO NCJ-32869 THROUGH 32874.
