Many people have a need for protection and security. The police, however, have limited resources and can’t be everywhere at all times. Fortunately, this gap is filled by security officers.
Simply put, a security officer is a private employee who works for a business to provide protection. The things that a security officer may protect run the gambit. For example, a security officer may work at a fine art museum. In this case, the security officer’s job is to protect the art. Due to how valuable certain pieces of art can be on the black market, there is a real need to hire individuals to protect those pieces of art and to ward off theft.
Another example could be a security officer working for a department store. He or she will have the job of preventing shop lifting. The security officer will walk around the store in street clothes and keep a look out for individuals acting suspiciously in a way that suggests they may be shoplifters. The security officer may also keep watch over the store via hidden surveillance cameras. Whatever the case, if there is a need for certain property or people to be protected, there is probably a need to hire security officers.
A security officer will typically make a salary that ranges between $21,000 and $31,000 a year. A new security officer will more than likely have a starting salary that ranges between nine and twelve dollars an hour.
The path to becoming a security officer really depends on what that security officer will protect. Over all, though, being a high school graduate will certainly help anyone who wants to enter this career field. For business operations that don’t entail too much risk but still have a need for security, a high school diploma may be all that is needed. On the job training may be provided to new comers interested in the position.
For companies that are involved in higher risk operations, the business may seek security officers who have college degrees in criminal justice in addition to their high school diplomas. If the job requires the carrying of a firearm, training in the use of firearms and the proper use of force will probably be required.
