Daily Security Duties of a GoJoe Mobile Patrol Officer
If you are considering a career in security, you may be wondering what your daily life would look like as a patrol officer.
Mobile patrol security officers are responsible for carrying out regular security checks of an assigned area. In addition to their daily security duties, mobile patrol officers also provide a visible deterrent against crime. Listed below are some of the daily areas patrol officers are responsible for overseeing:
Maintain a High Level of Vigilance While on Patrol
When it comes to security, mobile patrol officers need to be vigilant at all times. This means being aware of their surroundings and looking for anything out of the ordinary. It also means being alert to potential threats and being prepared to respond quickly and decisively. In addition, mobile patrol officers should always maintain a high level of communication with their dispatch centers so that they can immediately report any suspicious activity or potential danger.
Write Reports
Whether they are providing seasonal or permanent security, patrol officers must maintain good records. The kind of reports that a patrol officer may write include daily activity logs, incident reports, and detainment reports. Daily activity logs help to document the officer’s patrolling activities during their shifts. This can be important for tracking patterns of criminal behavior and determining which areas of the property are most vulnerable to security breaches.
Incident reports are created when the officer observes or responds to a crime or other incident. Additional reports are generated when the officer observes a suspect on reasonable grounds of criminal activity. These reports can be used as evidence in court proceedings. Good reporting skills, along with the very latest reporting software with photos, are essential for mobile patrol security officers to fulfill their duties effectively.

Assist With Traffic Control and Crowd Control As Needed
Assisting with traffic control and crowd control is an essential part of ensuring public safety and can prevent potential accidents and injuries. Traffic control is often needed in busy areas such as busy intersections, business offices, and schools. It can also be necessary for event venues where large crowds are likely to cause congestion. In these situations, a mobile patrol officer can help to direct traffic and keep people moving in the right direction. Crowd control is also important in keeping the peace at large events or in areas where there is a risk of violence or property damage.
Escort Guests and Employees Around the Property
There are several cases where escorting guests and employees around the property may be necessary, such as when an employee needs to access a restricted area or when a guest is lost.
In any case, it’s the officer’s duty to confirm that the person they are escorting is allowed to visit the different places on the property. This will help to ensure that everyone remains safe and that no unauthorized access is granted.
