Taking Your Security Career To The Next Level

Are you working as a security guard to make some money for a while? Are you just starting out as a guard as a way into the security profession? If so, I hope you’re thinking about ways to take full advantage of your career options.

In Rent-A-Cop Reboot, I wrote about some of the positions a well-trained, unarmed guard can move into. They include:

• Armed security guard.
• Armed driver or courier.
• Bail enforcement agent (also called a bounty hunter).
• Executive protection (also called a bodyguard).
• Private investigator (also called a private detective).

Additional training and certifications are needed to fill these important roles, and your ongoing training may help you move up the career ladder in a reasonable amount of time. The security roles I mentioned may also give you a strong security background that will help you stand out in a crowd of people moving into law enforcement, or the growing field of cybersecurity.

The COVID-19 pandemic has given many people the opportunity to decide what they really want to do with their lives. If you have always wanted to help people stay safe, security could be the career for you. Plus, great security professionals are always in demand.

Take a few minutes here today to see if you’re ready to become a security professional.
