Security Patrol Guard Jobs in North Carolina

A Security Patrol Guard is a crucial part of the security industry, tasked with the responsibility of maintaining a safe and secure environment. They carry out regular patrols, monitor property to prevent theft, damage, or any unlawful activities, and respond to emergencies. Duties also include maintaining a high visibility presence to deter illegal actions, observing for signs of crime, and investigating disturbances.

Their role is instrumental in providing a sense of security and peace of mind for businesses, institutions, and individuals.

A Level 2 Security Guard License is a fundamental requirement, along with certifications in First Aid and CPR. Knowledge of public safety and security procedures/protocols, surveillance systems, and emergency response planning is essential. Before becoming a Security Patrol Guard, a person might work in roles such as a Security Officer, Loss Prevention Officer, or a Public Safety Officer, which serve as stepping stones towards gaining relevant experience and skills in the security field.
