Security personnel at student residences perform various administrative tasks to assist the Property Management.
A Student Campus Security Guard’s day to day routine can be quite dynamic. There are often various incidents that arise, and security team members will need to respond in a coordinated manner with other team members to come to a professional and appropriate resolution to the incident. Effective and tactical communication skills are a must, and Condor offers a number of training opportunities to improve this skill, such as the respected and well known Verbal Judo system developed by Dr. George Thompson.

Security personnel as Student Residences must keep a close watch over activities on the property, and rely on the many cameras throughout the property. Monitoring access points and detecting intruders and unauthorized activity is a daily occurrence. Security will often investigate incidents, putting together reports coordinated with video evidence. Police officers may attend the property and require evidence to proceed with a higher level investigation, and security’s efforts may be the difference in apprehending a criminal.
