Perform other duties as assigned.

REQUIREMENTS:

Mandatory Private Security and Investigative Services Act (PSISA) training and testing will be required to become licensed as a Security Guard.
Current Advanced First Aid, AED, and CPR certificate.
Comfortable working with various modes of communication (radio transmission, video monitors, security alarms).
