Program Description


Security officers secure premises and personnel by patrolling property, monitoring surveillance equipment, and access points. They investigate security breaches, incidents, and other concerning behaviors, and complete reports by recording observations, information, occurrences, and surveillance activities. 

This program teaches students with learning differences or disabilities how to perform the duties of a security guard. Topics include surveillance, patrol, observation, and reporting. Instruction includes the following skills: completing a report, surveillance techniques, self-defense, and de-escalation. This track provides instruction that is multisensory, multimodal, personalized, and incorporates elements of universal design for learning. Classes are taught with a low student-teacher ratio to better meet the needs of individual learners.​

Students entering this program should have a strong sense of self-discipline, good interpersonal skills, and be detail-oriented.​

Security officer jobs can be  found with for-profit and non-profit organizations. Additional career information may be found in Career Coach: https://ccbcmd.lightcastcc.com/.
