Security Guards
Military tactical and defensive techniques used in support of Religious Ministry Teams provide a foundation for civilian protective duties.
How to prepare: Check your state's guard-licensing process and identify an approved entry-training provider; most states require licensing, with basic qualifications including age 18, a background check, and training. Armed guard positions usually require weapons licensing and stricter background checks and entry requirements.
What the civilian work involves
- Patrol industrial or commercial premises to prevent and detect signs of intrusion and ensure security of doors, windows, and gates.
- Answer alarms and investigate disturbances.
- Circulate among visitors, patrons, or employees to preserve order and protect property.
