Rank Structure

[SecTrainer]

Director
Patrol Commander
Site Manager
Supervisor
Officer III (armed plus other quals such as medical first-responder cert, HAZWOPER, associate degree, etc)
Officer II (armed)
Officer I (unarmed)
(Probationary Officer) - not specifically designated as such.

The "Officer III/II" distinction has to do with difference in pay level ($1.50/hr)for additional training/education, not a difference in responsibilities or "rank" per se. If they have also completed 40-hour supervisor training, either Officer III or II can be assigned to "acting supervisor" status as needed (at supervisor pay level when so assigned, of course).

Our rank structure resembles the military rank structure with some exceptions though.

Officer
Sargent / Lieutenant
Captain
Director

The only difference between Sargent and Lieutenant is a Lieutenant has a specific shift he has dedicated to him.

We have people dressed in uniforms pulling drivers over and attacking them so the need for the restrictions on rank titles etc. I believe this is national and not just local to my state.

As opposed to the simpler step of making non-official people stopping other drivers illegal?

That's a lot like gun control in the US...Murdering people is already illegal, but why not ban the inanimate object used to do it? I can load my gun, cock it (on my new 1911), leave the safety off, and set it on my kitchen table. Since most gun grabbers think that guns kill people, I ask them what would then happen? Answer: Nothing. It could sit there until the house collapses, and not go off. It takes a human's action to do the killing.

My position is that becoming a supervisor has made plenty of people become very RANK, in all sorts of jobs.

LOL How very true.

[bpdblue]

Just my opinion.....

[Penthrox]

Im sorry but I really don't see the need for all the fancy ranks.

Mine is simple

Supervisor
Venue Supervisor (Me)
Door Supervisor (Me)
Crowd Controller

Yes I do both because of my qualifications

[Jedi]

Hmm.. with a staff of 9 + me, the ranks are:

Manager
Security Officer

When I get the staff up to 14 + me, the structure will be:

Manager
Security Officer

Not sure why I need to complicate things...

Edit to Add:
A long time ago, I did work for a place that had the following:

Director of Safety (1)
Manager of Security (1)
Lieutenant (2)
Staff Sergeant (3)
Sergeant (4)
Security Officer (75)

This was for a theme park, so the department was rather large and concentrated.

Depends on the account.
Some accounts have ranks like Sgt, Lt, Capt. Others have different structures.
At my account it's just Security Officers and Security Officers with Emergency Medical Technician certification. At least one SO/EMT is on each shift and that person is considered the shift supervisor. One of the EMTs is the Site Supervisor. He gets to deal with the client, setting up the schedule and handeling any problems that crop up.

[Black Caesar]

None take Occs .................

No too many clowns walking around thinking they were police officers or military police and trying to be big shots when all they were employed to do was to be shopping centre carpark guards. Leave the fancy ranks for the military and police and other people like the coast guard, etc. We have people dressed in uniforms pulling drivers over and attacking them so the need for the restrictions on rank titles etc. I believe this is national and not just local to my state.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm 16 year olds ? Isn't legal in some counties to be having your 3rd child ? Some towns here usually have 2 kids by 16 for the free $$.

[N. A. Corbier]

No offense, but is ANYTHING legal in Australia??

16 year olds are.

(But not for us, I think, due to UN Convention...)

It was made illegal using such ranks as similar to the police as well as anything with a military nature. Also the use of stripes like a corporal were made illegal due to confusion...
