As a security professional, there will be various resources available to you – and some will be far more useful than others. You will have access to all kinds of technology, as well as older methods of security protection, and it will be up to you to utilise them as professionally as you can to complete you work well. These are some of the resources you might want to consider:

• CCTV. This can be invaluable in the security industry. If you ever take on work in a new venue, check whether they have CCTV and where the cameras are positioned.
• Body cameras. These film action as it happens, so if you are ever in an altercation, the camera will capture it all for you.
• A team of security professionals. Everyone will have each other’s back in this industry.
• Signing in and out. Whether you do this electronically or using paper documentation, it is often important to know who is inside a building.
