Improved security officer training meets rising state requirements. Security officer training is the foundation of excellent service in an ever-changing and demanding field. A variety of institutions, businesses, hospitals and public and private security agencies hire security officers. Employers have discovered that educating their officers is the best way to meet the goal of a safe and secure environment and to provide their officers the tools they need to successfully do their jobs. Training security officers involves two phases. Just after the hiring process a period of on-the-job training is usually provided to educate new officers concerning the objectives they need to meet. This is accomplished by classroom instruction or by accompanying more experienced officers during the regular tour of duty. A general overview of the duties and responsibilities are presented and the new security officers are allowed to become familiar with the business or governmental agency they’re working for. Both methods of instruction are frequently used to allow new officers to become acclimated to the work site and the various aspects of the job. The second way that security officers receive training is through an on-going basis during the duration of employment. Officers armed with firearms are required to complete in-service training in the use of the weapons and to pass proficiency tests on a regular basis. Other types of on-the-job training include updated first-aid classes and instruction on changing court decisions in the realm of criminal and civil law and how it affects officers’ duties. A combination of classroom and practical training provides officers with the expertise they need. Another way that security officers are trained depends solely on the discretion of the officers. Online colleges offer degree programs that are from accredited colleges and universities. Many aspiring security officers obtain an associates or bachelors degree in criminal justice prior to becoming employed. The degree provides a competitive edge to a candidate when he’s looking for a job in security as well as fulfilling any educational requirements for upper level management positions later on. Security officers who are already employed and who would like to be promoted into management positions can also take advantage of an online degree program.
