Security Managers work in corporate or retail settings and maintain the safety of shoppers and employees while also protecting the store or company from theft, vandalism or other crimes. Security Managers create and implement safety and security policies, train staff, review incident reports and evaluate safety and security risks.
Security Managers might be company employees or contractors who work through security firms. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics provides job outlook information about security guards and predicts a 5 percent employment growth rate for this profession. The continued concern over terrorism and the protection of employees and property are major factors impacting this prediction.
