Special Police Officer Jobs in Bernalillo, NM

A Special Police Officer (SPO) is a professional law enforcement figure in the security industry, responsible for maintaining safety and security in the assigned premises. Their primary duties include patrolling and monitoring activities, conducting security checks, preventing unauthorized entry, responding to security threats, and ensuring overall public safety. They may also be required to testify in court if necessary. They should have strong observation skills, physical stamina, and the ability to handle high-stress situations. Proficiency in communication and problem-solving are also critical.

Before becoming a Special Police Officer, a person may serve in roles such as a Security Guard, Police Officer, or a Law Enforcement Officer. These roles provide the necessary foundational skills for an SPO. To become an SPO, certain certifications and requirements must be met. This typically includes completion of a training program approved by the state, and they must pass a licensing exam. Some regions may also require SPOs to have a certain amount of experience in a related field. First aid and CPR certifications can be beneficial as well. Other requirements may include a clean criminal record and physical fitness tests.
