Security Guard Jobs in Appleton, WI

A Security Guard is a professional who is responsible for maintaining safety and security within a designated area. They typically patrol and monitor premises to prevent theft, violence, or infractions of rules, and often handle emergency situations, such as medical and fire emergencies. A Security Guard must be vigilant, reliable, and have the ability to remain calm and composed in stressful situations. Important skills a Security Guard should possess include excellent observation skills, strong communication, and problem-solving abilities. They should also have a good understanding of public safety and security procedures/protocols. Many states require Security Guards to be licensed, which often involves first aid and CPR certification, as well as passing a background check.

Prior to becoming a Security Guard, an individual may have roles such as a Police Officer, Security Officer, or even a Military Officer. These roles provide valuable experience in security and law enforcement procedures, enhancing their suitability for the role of a Security Guard. In some cases, individuals may start in entry-level security positions, such as a Security Patrol Officer or a Loss Prevention Agent, to gain experience in the field. Regardless of prior positions, all Security Guards should have a high school diploma or equivalent, and receive on-the-job training to learn specific security procedures and laws related to their job.
