How can you assign the right security officer for the job?

  • Industry Insights
  • October 24, 2022

When doing the rostering, assigning the right security officer for the job is easier said than done. But when rostering the right staff to your clients locations, this provides many benefits not only for the whole team but for your client as well. Security managers are expected to be able to do this. Let’s go through some factors involved in assigning the right security officers for each contract.

Ways to assign the right security officer for the job


There are a few key things to consider when assigning a security officer to a job:

  • First, it is important to understand the type site or venue that you need to roster staff too, knowing the issues the clients need and the type of security officer that is required.  This will help to determine the level of security that is needed. For example, a high-profile site will require a more experienced and highly-trained security officer than a smaller shopping centre low-key site.
  • Second, it is important to consider the site’s or venue’s size. A larger venue will require more experienced security personnel than a smaller one.
  • Third, it is important to consider the location of the site or venue. A remote location will require different security measures than an urban area. 

The greatest factor—their qualifications

The most important factor to consider is whether or not the security officer is licensed and qualified for the job. There are several ways to verify this information: 

  • First, you need to make sure they are currently licensed and have the correct functions on their license to perform the duties required.
  • You can also contact the applicant’s previous employers to get a sense of their work experience and capabilities. It’s important to make sure the employee has the correct skills and experience for the duties required for the site. 

Consider these factors, and you can ensure that you assign the right security officer for the role.

The benefits of assigning the right security officer to your clients’ locations

Security officers play a vital role in protecting people and property, but not all security officers are alike. Some may be better suited for guarding against property, while others may be better suited for crowd control. The most effective security teams assign the right officer to the right site.

By carefully matching the skills and temperament of each security officer to the specific demands of the job, organisations can ensure that their security team is always operating at peak efficiency. In addition, assigning the right security officer to the right job can also help to reduce turnover and save on training costs. When managers take the time to carefully assess the needs of their client’s site and match them with their employees’ strengths, they can create a more effective and efficient security force.
