Security Patrol Guard Jobs in Mississippi

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. They must document all patrol observations, incidents, and coordinate with law enforcement when necessary. Their role is instrumental in providing a sense of security and peace of mind for businesses, institutions, and individuals.

To perform their role effectively, Security Patrol Guards should possess a variety of skills and certifications.

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.
