Train to Be a Security Guard Online

• One of the first things youll learn during your
  online security guard training is the power to
  arrest. This course will teach you when you do
  and dont have the right to arrest someone, and
  how to properly restrain a person until the
  police arrive on the scene. This is extremely
  important because you may have to physically
  detain a person for an extended period of time,
  and if the criminal has a weapon, you need to
  know how to keep yourself and the people on the
  premises safe while doing your job. Youll also
  learn laws as it pertains to properly and people
  so you can properly guard the premises youre in
  charge of. In most cases, youll need to take
  this class, which is worth eight credit hours,
  before youre able to work as a security job.
• After this initial course, youll need to take 16
  hours worth of class credits within a month of
  being hired in most instances. Within six months
  of being on the job, youll need to take another
  16 hours of credit for further certification.
  These classes include training on weapons of mass
  destruction, and youll learn how to recognize
  and prevent possible terrorism activities from
  occurring at the place where youre providing
  security.
• Remember that there are both armed and unarmed
  security jobs available. If you want to work
  security that allows you to properly report
  suspicious activity in high-end department stores
  or eateries, unarmed security is likely best for
  you. If you prefer to work in or near the heart
  of the city in high-traffic areas that are
  popular sites for local events, you may need to
  be trained in armed security, in case you have to
  apprehend someone with both physical force and a
  gun or taser. Think about your physical strength,
  personality and comfort level with operating
  weapons when youre deciding about the security
  guard positions that are right for you. Youll
  also have to consider the gear that youll need
  for your job. Of course, it will be slightly more
  expensive to get the supplies you need if you
  have to purchase a weapon, and youll also need
  shoes that are easy to run in and clothing that
  wont restrain you when you need to move quickly.

What are the Duties of a Special Events Security
Guard?

• Be sure that you check out the venue before the
  event. This way, youll know where the entrances
  and exits are, and you can see if there are any
  potential areas where people can hide if they are
  engaging in illegal activity. Check the
  stairwells and hallways of the venue and get
  familiar with them and know if youll need to use
  these areas as a checkpoint for the event to make
  sure people are not entering the main space with
  weapons or dangerous materials. Inspect the main
  event room and the surrounding areas to see where
  people will put their purses and coats so youll
  know which areas to keep an eye on while the
  event is going on.
• It's also a good idea to know how to spot fake ID
  cards if youll be working the door at an event.
  If youre the security guard in charge of
  checking ID at a club or bar and you need to make
  sure that no criminals or minors are entering the
  venue with counterfeit identification. You should
  know what authentic drivers licenses and ID cards
  look like remember that different states and
  regions have drivers licenses with different
  designs, so youll need to know what youre
  looking for so you wont let the wrong people
  into the venue.
• Since you may have to chase a criminal who has
  stolen a purse or valuable piece of jewellery
  from someone who is attending the event, its
  very important for you to be in good shape. After
  its been confirmed that youll be working
  security for a special event, make sure that
  youre comfortable running fast for short
  distances or detaining a criminal until the
  police arrive. If youre in decent shape, youll
  feel more confident when you have to exert
  physical energy to do your job.
