SECURITY OFFICERS
St. Petersburg College Security Department is organized as a
department of 16 security supervisors who supervise over 30 contract
security officers under the auspices of the office of the Director
of Institutional Planning and Facilities Services. All officers are
trained and licensed under the State of Florida Statutes Chapter
493. Officers also receive in-service training in the following
areas:
-
College policies and procedures
-
Interviews, Investigations, Report
writing
-
Emergency Response including NIMS
-
Bloodborne Pathogens
-
Emergency Evacuations
Jurisdiction, Structure and Authority
Security Operations are supplemented
with contract security officers who are scheduled for specific hours
and locations. The Security Department is overseen by the Director
of Security, Risk Management and Safety Operations, in conjunction
with the college-wide Security Supervisor who is responsible for the
direction and supervision of all security personnel. Each campus or
center has security officers to help provide a safe environment and
most sites have a security office. Licensed and trained security
officers patrol the campus grounds and parking lots during the hours
that the campuses are open to students and staff. Our security
officers are not certified police officers, but they work closely
with local authorities. The officers provide an important service to
our campuses through active patrol, observation and intervention.
Security supervisors will perform security assessments and
inspections, conduct interviews, complete incident reports and
notify the local police authority when necessary.
