Work Experience

Required Experience:

Less than 1 year

Our company is open to those who do not have experience working in security. We have several positions that are great for getting your foot in the door. However, as a bare minimum, we do require the following:

Reliable transportation

A clear criminal and driving record - since all of our guards will be expected to apply for a guard card, we cannot employ those with domestic violence or felony charges, or those currently on probation

A valid state-issued ID (meaning non-expired)

An active guard card for the state of Maryland - we cannot accept guard cards from other states

The below are incredibly helpful and do open up more opportunities for those who have them:

A valid driver's license - we often have mobile shifts, which require a valid (meaning non-expired) driver's license

Physical Demands and Work Environment

The majority of our sites require standing for the duration of the shifts and may involve walking up and down stairs, getting in and out of vehicles, or other physically demanding activities.
