Hi,
First of all I would like to say I have been doing Security now for a little over 3 and a half years and during this time I have worked almost every angle of security from Airport Screening to Crowd control (Doorman), from Static (sigh) jobs to armed patrols, from Cash in transit to hospital restraint teams and not to forget loss prevention and retail (as in working in a shopping complex). Now during this time I have picked up quite a large amount of knowledge and what I would be asking is there any effective tips or strategies anyone can offer here as to implementing a new security team into an already established area.
The current security bar 1 member are going to be relieved of their current positions as they have been caught sleeping, stealing and just generally not doing there jobs. So I have been sent in to institute a new young (or "experienced") team to ensure management of the center is happy, as currently I am sure you can imagine they are not.
So to start off my first job once I arrive is to do a risk analysis of the work space. Such as trip hazards, fire extinguishers, lighting and what not. Things like a use of force continuum policy, first aid, log books and so on. It is a major over haul basically of what the previous security "manager" has done.
So does any one have any tips or policies of their own they wish to share?
All help is greatly appreciated.
