Security today has become an indispensable part in today's age. The sector is quite booming in recent times and the majority of the sectors ranging from retail to hospitality and many others need compliance for security. Thus, a security guard is an armed/unarmed individual which ensures protection of the assets ranging from human lives to physical property from criminal activities. Since they are employed to make sure of the safety, they are given rigorous training so that they can best cater to their responsibilities. Our company strictly follows the general requirement procedures (based on international standards) and strict interviewing procedures to recruit one of the best and most efficient personnel in the industry. The standard of recruitment is as follows –

• Age: Candidate must be at least 21 years of age and maximum be 40 years.

• Experience: We prefer those applications that have some experience in this security industry.

This, a candidate has to fully comply with the set strict parameters. Once they get through this, they are qualified for induction. After induction, each security guard has to undergo rigorous training which can be categorized into 'basic' and 'on-the job'. These courses prepare them for top performance at their position, and provide a wide and wise vision of an area, much better than that of citizens and average security guards.

Whereas in the on-the job training, there is a session of about 30-40minutes in a week to make the guard aware of ON JOB TRAINING at the respective site. It can also be classified under the basic and specific on-the job training procedure. In the basic on the job training, following topics will be included –

Apart from these two basic and on-the job training, the supervisory staff and guards are subject to an appropriate assessment and evaluation to measure the security officer. For this, they have to complete refresher training for 2 days within a span of six months. In refresher training, all the aspects of duties are revised so as to ensure that their professional level is maintained at the required level.

The daily documentation by the security guard includes the following things –
