SECURITY OFFICERS

Security officers are more important than ever in making sure that sensitive energy industry equipment does not risk sabotage or abuse by individuals who are not authorized to access it. Former military personnel are often very successful in these positions because they have developed many of the skills that characterize the most effective security personnel:

• Have a strong attention to detail and be sensitive to any signs that a situation has become unusual.
• Learn systems that are in place to use when a suspicious situation occurs and be able to quickly apply those systems.
• Work independently and make informed decisions to act quickly if necessary.
• Have demonstrable, unquestioned integrity and trustworthiness.
