OUR LOS ANGELES SECURITY OFFICER TRAINING PROGRAM
New security officers must pass a thorough background check and drug test. Excalibur Security, Inc. training is continual and intensive. It is of paramount important to us that every officer stays abreast with recent practices and laws mandated by the California Bureau of Investigative Services (BSIS). Our top-tier security education is as follows:
Phase One
Program teaches new recruits security fundamentals. Subjects covered include but are not limited to First Aid and CPR, customer service essentials, and emergency procedures. This stage of learning is repeated and the officers are constantly tested so that they retain what they learn.
Specific Post Education
All officers are trained at least four hours and, more typically, eight hours at the location where they are assigned. Before they begin working, we make sure the new officer is properly educated. Training, again, is constant, conducted by experienced supervisors and consists of:
Proper Radio Correspondence
At locations that need radio traffic, we make sure all officers use and know appropriate transmission language.
Dress Code Requirements
Perception is everything. Officers learn this. They learn why and how their appearance as well as their behavior directly reflect our client’s business. Top-notch customer service skills are of extreme importance at Excalibur.
Conflict Resolution
Officers learn how to spot and diffuse volatile situations. Officers develop the skill-set to recognize behavior that could result in injury to property, client staff, and themselves.
Report Writing Essentials
Since security officer reports can be used as a legal document, Excalibur stresses the importance of legible post logs. Incident reports are taken when serious situations arise. Information gathering techniques are taught. Officers are tested for legibility and overall writing competence.
Emergency Procedures
Topics include but are not limited to emergency contact information, elevator entrapment procedures, earthquake preparedness, theft, & fire life safety
The Legal Scope of Security Work
Officers are taught what powers they are given and the importance of never overstepping their bounds. To ward against lawsuits and client embarrassment, our security staff is trained thoroughly on the limits of their authority.
Lectures and Our Learning Center
Our corporate office contains an extensive library with relevant, up-to-date security information. When needed or requested, professionally run lectures are held at our office or a particular account.
Officer Development
Many of our security professionals seek law enforcement careers and we strongly encourage their development; many of our managers are former security guards who rose through the ranks, including our owners, who value highly the importance of security education.

Excalibur Security, Inc. officers typically stay longer than other security firms. Our low turnover is attributed, in large part, to the fact that we care about our officers and we show this by helping them develop their careers.
