The Security Officers

The typical ESI security officer is 35-55 years old and has 5 years of security officer experience. They undergo a complete employment screening prior to being hired. Included are background investigations conducted to ensure stable, continuous and proven work records for a minimum of 5 years, an acceptable credit record, an unblemished arrest record and most importantly a proven record of treating others in a professional, respectful manner. Additional psychological testing is performed to ensure that each and every prospective security officer is within accepted parameters in the specific areas of Stability, Cheerfulness, Composure, Certainty, Activity Level, Aggressiveness, Responsibility, Maturity, Appreciation and Communication Skills. All security officers undergo a pre-employment drug screen as well as unannounced periodic screens.

Supervision

All security officers are led and administered to by fully trained site or field supervisors. Our supervisors consist of a varied cross section of backgrounds with solid records in supervision.
