  Sabrewatch security service

  Mar 2007 - Jul 2008

  Security Officer

  As a security officer working for a well recognised and respected company my duties were to ensure public safety in every day life. Loss prevention, crowd control, dealing with bomb threats and following correct protocol. I was trained in fire fighting procedures, basic hand to hand combat and restraint techniques and basic first aid and life support. Dealing with public issues was another day to day task and this would include calming down hostile situations between people and also assisting in struggles that some would encounter, e.g. Lost children on site, car not starting, stolen personal possesions and this would all be liased with the local police.
