What You’ll Do:

Security is the profession of prevention. We are not law enforcement officers. Our primary function is not to chase down criminals or catch the “bad guys”. Our job is to deter or prevent negative activity, and modify behavior by educating individuals as to the rules and regulations of the client’s property. It is imperative that officers know how to conduct themselves in a professional manner, which is to say, not get angry or overly aggressive. Officers must have the ability to articulate their position and communicate effectively.

Duties will include:

• Conduct vehicle patrols, foot patrols, and provide response services to client homes and businesses to ensure their safety
• Document observations and activities during assigned shift
• Perform daily locking and unlocking functions for the appropriate spaces
• Provide an initial response to security incidents
• Calling our 24/7 Dispatch and Monitoring Center for immediate support, back up, or follow up on a call
• Utilize our proprietary tracking and monitoring software to respond to safety events or send updates to our Dispatch and Monitoring center
• Graveyard shift – grab a free coffee/energy drink/soda from our staff room before heading out; you also have the freedom of stopping anywhere in your district for additional food/beverages!
• Overtime is available – but never required

The most important thing you should know about First Response is that we care about you. We know that the best way to take care of our customers is to first take care of our people. By joining our team, you’re joining a team of kind and compassionate change-makers.
