Security Guard Report Writing Tips

Posted by Robert Sollars on Monday, September 5, 2016 In : Security Guards 

When I worked in the security field, one of the biggest complaints I got from clients was that security guard report writing were poor in quality. Whether they are hourly shift or incident reports, they need to be legible, easily understandable, and usable if necessary as a legal document in court.

The Skills Of A Door Supervisor

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Saturday, April 2, 2016 In : Skills For Security
