PROTECT THE FUTURE AND
POSITION YOURSELF FOR SUCCESS
There are many different types of security officers, ranging from those who patrol corporate campuses and other commercial property to those who guard our nation's nuclear power plants and weapons installations. Many people with police and military backgrounds are involved in the security industry and numerous people use security officer work experience as preparation for a career in law enforcement. Nationwide fear about crime, vandalism and especially terrorism has intensified the demand for security officers. Positions in this challenging and rewarding field are expected to increase from around 1 million to about 1.2 million over the next decade.
