Position Overview

Citadel Security USA is seeking a reliable and alert Unarmed Mobile Patrol Security Officer to provide security coverage across multiple assigned properties in Columbia, Missouri. Rather than remaining at a single post, this position involves traveling between designated locations, checking conditions, identifying potential concerns, and responding to calls for assistance.

The ideal candidate is a responsible driver who can work independently, recognize unusual activity, and communicate clearly with supervisors and emergency personnel. A consistent patrol routine, sound decision-making, and accurate documentation are essential to helping maintain safe and orderly conditions throughout the assigned area.
 

What You Will Do

• Patrol Assigned Locations: Operate a company-authorized patrol vehicle along designated routes and visit assigned properties according to established schedules and post orders.
• Maintain a Visible Presence: Conduct routine drive-throughs and inspections to discourage unauthorized activity and identify potential security concerns.
• Inspect Property Conditions: Check entrances, parking areas, access points, building perimeters, and other designated areas for damage, suspicious activity, or safety hazards.
• Respond to Calls: Investigate reported concerns promptly, assess the situation, and take appropriate action within the scope of your training and authority.
• Handle Emergencies: Follow established response procedures during alarms, disturbances, suspicious incidents, and other urgent situations. Contact emergency services when necessary.
• Identify and Report Irregularities: Recognize signs of unauthorized access, property damage, unsafe conditions, or unusual behavior and notify the appropriate personnel.
• Complete Patrol Records: Document patrol visits, observations, incidents, and follow-up actions accurately using the required reporting system.
• Use Digital Security Tools: Enter reports and operational updates through application-based platforms, such as TrackTik or similar systems.
• Communicate With Supervisors: Provide timely updates about significant findings, unresolved issues, and situations requiring additional support.
• Coordinate With Responders: Share relevant observations with law enforcement, fire personnel, or medical responders when assistance is needed.
• Protect Company and Client Property: Follow established procedures, respect access restrictions, and handle sensitive information professionally.
• Maintain Vehicle Readiness: Operate the patrol vehicle responsibly, follow traffic laws, and report vehicle issues that could affect safe or reliable operations.
   

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED.
• At least 1–2 years of professional security experience.
• Valid driver's license and a clean driving record.
• Safe driving habits and the ability to travel between assigned locations throughout the shift.
• Working knowledge of security procedures, post orders, and emergency response protocols.
• Strong observation skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to prepare clear, accurate written reports and maintain digital records.
• Basic computer skills and the ability to learn electronic reporting applications.
• Professional verbal communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to remain calm, assess situations, and exercise sound judgment under pressure.
• Ability to stand, walk, and conduct foot patrols for extended periods when required.
   

Preferred Qualifications

• Two or more years of experience in security, law enforcement, or military service.
• Previous experience in vehicle patrol, mobile security, or multi-location property inspections.
• Familiarity with TrackTik or comparable patrol management and reporting platforms.
• Experience responding to alarms, investigating unusual activity, and documenting incidents.
• Ability to work independently while maintaining consistent communication with a supervisor.
