Security Officer

Security Officer

Do you have a strong sense of pride to provide privacy and protection for people and property?

Are you comfortable dealing with uncertainty? Unruly people that can sometimes become violent and belligerent? Are you good with conflict resolution? Do you or did you serve with passion?

Have you had a successful career in policing or the security field at a high level? Maybe you are dissatisfied, fed up with the ‘system’ and recognize that it is time to adapt as your best efforts are in vane, disrespected and even defunded by the very people you are trying to serve and protect.

Are you a seasoned combat veteran? Have you ever lived and worked in a hot conflict zone? Is it time to retire from a war path and instead patrol a nature trail? Are you in transition? Not sure what to do or where to do it? As we see it, it is a shame to waste that experience, talent, and training. Rather than change what you do with passion, change where you do it. Even if for a year or two retreat to the Caribbean. Rejuvenate.

As suggested by the name of our company we are a veteran friendly employer. Life evolves. Out of war comes peace. After the storm the sun always shines….especially here in Turks and Caicos Islands where we are looking to put in place a small professional security team of former combat  veterans, police officers, or seasoned security personnel that have a heart of gold to provide security with a smile in what is actually a very docile and harmonious environment that caters mostly to successful people predominately from Canada, States, Europe and Latin America.
