As a security officer with many years of experience with both in-house and contract company experience, I have a proven track record of being a reliable, trustworthy and a detail orientated security officer. I have a friendly, approachable attitude and my service ethics are exemplary to clients of all walks of life. Resilience and versatility is a strong characteristic of mine. I am extremely adaptable and the pandemic is a prime example how we all need to adjust to a new work environment. It also most important to me to treat people with dignity and respect. The security industry has changed vastly over the years especially since the licencing of individuals and companies. I pride myself on being able to learn new lessons each day and as a result gain invaluable experience in all areas of the security industry. My goal is to work in a prestigious role in the private or the public service security industry.
Working directly for supervalu as a loss prevention officer. Having now spent over 4 years in supervalu, (previously known as superquinn), the company has allowed my career to flourish and gain invaluable experience. It has proven to be a fast paced environment and very challenging. I have dealt with many internal and external investigations , including theft, fraud, accidents, and various other incidents. I have been very fortunate to work for a company that have invested heavily in its security staff, providing training, and investment in security technologies, including AI , body cams , and security forums where we can be updated on latest threats, and share information to make our jobs more efficient and safer. It also gives us an opportunity to voice concerns and develop our careers. This is a fantastic time for the security industry and I hope it will continue over the next few years.
