Part II: Casino Operations · Surveillance & Security

Surveillance Supervisor / Lead

Roles

The shift-level supervisor responsible for managing surveillance operations during a specific shift, overseeing surveillance operators, reviewing incident reports, coordinating responses to incidents, and ensuring all regulatory coverage requirements are maintained. The supervisor serves as the primary decision-maker during incidents, authorizing video retrievals, escalating cases to investigators, and communicating with security and gaming management. They also conduct quality assurance reviews of operator performance.

In practice

Supervisors are the first point of escalation when operators detect suspicious activity; they must be able to make rapid decisions under pressure while maintaining strict procedural compliance.
