- Maintain appropriate records and detailed accounts of incidents in the required form.
- Challenge, apprehend, detain and, where appropriate, arrest suspects and liaise with the police to preserve evidence, prepare statements and file incident reports.
- Support stakeholders so far as is reasonable.
- Act as an Ambassador for the Company, maintaining high standards of driving and professional behaviour.

**Requirements and Skills**
- Frontline SIA licence in Door Supervision or Close Protection.
- Full Driving Licence (Highly Desirable, Not Essential).
