Surveillance and Security

The shift-level supervisor responsible for managing uniformed security officers and coordinating security responses during a specific shift. The Security Supervisor assigns patrol routes, responds to serious incidents, completes incident reports, coordinates with surveillance on active cases, manages emergency response, and ensures compliance with security policies. Security Supervisors serve as the first-line commanders for any physical security situation on property.

In practice

Security supervisors often have prior law enforcement or military experience. They must be physically capable of responding to altercations and medical emergencies.
