Armed Security Officer

A05

The fundamental reason this classification exists is to provide armed security and protection to employees, visitors, and property while enforcing the security rules and regulations.  Primary work responsibilities include: patrolling buildings, structures, and/or grounds; investigating and taking appropriate action; completing and submitting written work orders; and interacting with patrons, visitors and staff members. The Armed Security Officer classification differs from the Security Officer, Zoo Security Officer and Museum Security Officer classifications in that the Armed Security Officer is responsible for providing armed security and protection for the City Hall Administration. The Armed Security Officer classification receives limited supervision and reports to the Chief of Staff’s Office.

High school diploma or GED and one (1) year of experience in armed security work, protecting persons and property.

Must have and maintain a valid driver’s license and an insurable driving record in order to drive city vehicles for work assignments.  Must submit to a background check and drug test due to the nature of the position. Must have an Alabama pistol permit. Work requires evening hours due to city council meetings and various commission/board meetings.  Must be willing to work outside, on weekends and holidays as needed for special events.
