Personnel Selection

The selection processes an assessment of each applicant’s character, ability, reputation, habits, and associates. They are required to take oral and written examinations, as well as complete a thorough background investigation. In addition, a complete criminal history check through the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Security and Investigative Service is conducted. An assessment of each applicant’s profile and training is then made to ascertain if their background and prior employment is adequately suited to your company’s specific needs. Additionally, all of our officers receive extensive training to develop their interpersonal relation skills so that they will be discreet and non-confrontational in situations requiring their intervention. Although the aforementioned seems more than sufficient, we go even further in ensuring quality service. Each shift has a patrol supervisor who is accountable for the activities of officers assigned to his/her shift.

Security Officers

Our security officers are trained and licensed and meet all requirements of the State for Private Security Guards, including age, citizenship/residency, and authorization to work in the United States. A background check of each security officer is not only conducted by the State, but is mandated and completed by American Security Force.

To best serve you, we can provide unarmed as well as armed, (formal or informal) uniformed or plain-clothes security officers. We have the ability to provide standing/foot patrol, bike patrol, or on-site vehicle patrol (including the use of golf-carts).

Whether you need security officers for your person, parking lot, small business or high-rise structure, we can meet all your needs.

Vehicle Patrol Services

Our patrol officers are trained and licensed and meet all requirements of the State for Private Security Guards, including age, citizenship/residency, and authorization to work in the United States. A background check of each patrol officer is not only conducted by the State, but is mandated and completed by American Security Force. Each patrol officer also maintains a valid driver’s license and must maintain a clean driving record. Our patrol officers are trained and maintain their certifications for the usage of batons, pepper spray and firearms.

American Security Force provides patrol services using either marked and unmarked vehicles. Each vehicle is fully equipped with emergency equipment, such as dispatch radios, cellular phones, traffic cones, first-aid kits, etc.

Patrol services include property lock-ups such as pool gates, laundry and recreation rooms, parking gates, offices, building structures, etc. Patrol services also issuing warnings, citing and towing of illegally parked vehicles, impose property rules and regulations, and respond to nuisance/disturbance calls.

Supervision

All activities are performed under a very important element, close supervision. Additionally, the operations manager coordinates the activities of all supervisors and impromptu inspections around the clock at no additional cost to clients. In the event of a serious incident or emergency, the officer on duty will contact our dispatch, and a patrol supervisor will respond immediately to your location. The patrol supervisor will then remain at the location until the incident has been resolved.

Overall

We believe that an effective training program is the best way to distinguish ourselves from our competitor. The better trained our personnel are, the most capable our organization is; this, in turn, enables us to better serve our clients.

Training is a critically important, on-going process requiring the full-time, concentrated efforts of a dedicated manager. Our senior training officer is a hands-on professional who is responsible for the development and implementation of company training programs. Every security officer is enrolled in a structured program, from a new employee orientation to an especially designed, site-specific continuing education program. The senior training officer continually tracks progress, and the training flow is adjusted to allow each security the opportunity to achieve the desired results.

Ultimately, officers who excel are placed into a demanding supervisor-training course. When an officer exhibits the leadership and supervisory skills necessary, he/she will advance within the organization. The senior training officer works closely with the operation manager to ensure that training initiatives result in improved operation performance. In addition to managing our proactive training program, the senior training officer is also responsible for maintaining a liaison with community group and retail, industrial, and institutional facility manager. Additionally, the senior training officer provides security awareness and loss-prevention training, thereby developing an efficient security network. Taking a teamwork approach enables American Security Force to address clients’ issues and concerns, and work towards resolving problems in a proactive manner.
