The Security Department & Security Personnel

Presented by: Dana Turner



The purpose of this presentation is to suggest personnel who may logically perform safety and security-related tasks -- and to define and describe:

• Why the institution's needs determine the Security Officer's duties;
• What common security practices should be applied;
• What are the Security Officer's most common problems; and
• Who else has security responsibilities.

No one person needs to -- and perhaps, shouldn't -- perform all of the security-related tasks within the institution. But the Security Department is the logical function for coordinating the development, implementation, monitoring and correction of safety and security policies, procedures and practices that may affect the entire institution. This presentation presents a logical and strategic model that's designed to help any Security Officer understand the true scope of the Security Department's duties and responsibilities within an institution -- and then request appropriate staffing to meet these demands in a professional manner. By understanding the cause and effect relationships between the Security Department's mission and the other business units, a Security Officer may make reasonable and logical suggestions about ways that the institution's personnel may contribute to the security and loss prevention efforts. Many persons may play important and pivotal safety and security-related roles, including the:

• Board Of Directors;
• President/CEO;
• Security Committee;
• Security Officer;
• Assistant Security Officer;
• Fraud Investigator;
• Legal Counsel;
• Auditor;
• Human Resources Manager;
• Information Systems Manager;
• Compliance Manager;
• Retail Operations Manager;
• Facilities Manager;
• Department Managers (Unit Security Officers);
• Insurance Manager;
• Supervisors; and
• Line staff.

This presentation is intended for:

• Security Officers;
• Boards of directors;
• Auditors;
• Human Resources Managers;
• Retail Operations Managers;
• Operations Officers; and
• Training Specialists.
