New Career

For a variety of reasons I've decided to leave to automotive industry soon and take up a new career. But I decided a long time ago that if I change jobs, I would like to enter the security industry. I already have one job lined up that a friend is opening up a way for but I was wondering what other occupations are available in security (excluding locksmithing)?

depends on the type of security you want to do

Well I'm looking for something that requires hands on technical work. Security guard is out of the question though.

You could mix both industries, ie..... security guard on engine plant main gates. In my experiance most of these fellas love there jobs and come over as wonderfull human beings, they will do absolutly everything they can to help you go about your every-days work , and when entering or leaving their little itsy bitsy empires, they will always give you a nice big smile and wish luck on your way. And if your lucky, some-times they evan ask you have your tools got your name on (just to prove they belong to you). Of-coarse they dont all beleive my name is king dick or blue spot, they mostly call me kennady.

Like a trade. The work my friend has lined up for me is in alarm system installation so something like that when I say technical.

ok so you have CCTV installs, alram systems as well as the corrdination of the two to sync together, mag system installs... the repair and servicing of said items. Metal dectector systems, x-ray and image scaning, forensics equipment, safe installs the list goes on and on

access control is rewarding .

That sounds tempting.

the highly technical term for that now is access egress :lol:

How would one get into the access control type work? What kind of qualifications would an employer be looking for?

by **UWSDWF** » 27 Apr 2007 7:48

depending what you mena by access control.... do you mean installing RFID readers and proximity dectectors or do you physically working in access control (guard, concierge, doorman, bouncer)

I believe you'd be refering to the prior...
Techical skill, expierence with RFID and mag locks (the two usually go hand in hand) electrical aptitude, ect...

Most places of these companies will also require you be bondable, undergo background checks and fingerprinting (it really depends on who their clients are)

Intercon is the leading provider of most of these systems in North America ( www.interconsecurity.com ) and are a subsiderary of First Service ( www.firstservice.com ). There is also good old Tyco which is the parent company of ADT, Simplex Grinnell and numerous other similar companies ( www.tycofireandsecurity.com ).

This would be under the category of low voltage work I'm assuming?
