Career Opportunities
Security Guard
They watch while we sleep and when we go about our day-to-day business. Often the first point of contact for visitors to banks and other protected areas, professional Security Guards safeguard property and people within it against fire, theft, vandalism, terrorism, and other illegal activities by enforcing rules and preventing crime. They keep their eyes peeled and ears wide open while they patrol and inspect the property under their charge and keep surveillance through electronic devices.
Peace Officer
In all countries that believe the government must prioritise the personal security of its people, Peace Officers play a critical role in ensuring their compatriots abide by the law.
Coast Guard Officer
Guarding your homeland’s security and human life takes exemplary courage, determination, selflessness and skill. A US Coast Guard Officer is a member of that unique arm of the US military that strives to fulfil its multiple missions of national defence, maritime safety and mobility while safeguarding natural resources. Once trained, Coast Guard Officers may receive a presidential commission to join one of these missions and work in engineering, law, intelligence or other fields. Then it is a matter of always staying ready, in sync with the Coast Guard motto “semper paratus”.
