If you are a security guard or security officer, and looking for an
answer about what essential document you should carry while performing your
duty. If that is the case, you came in the right place.
So, having said this, let me remind you that in some security agencies,
or government institutions that have authority over Security Agency, has
required every security guard to have a documents when performing duty.
Below, are the lists of 5 essential documents you should possess.
1. Valid Security Guard License
Most country requires that every security guard should have a valid
security guard license in order to perform his or her official function as
security practitioners.
You must carry your license card while on duty, and make sure that your
license card is not expired, since police authority are checking always when
they have operations to checked all security guards.
And if you get caught that you have no license or expired license, you
will be penalize of huge amount of money and confiscate your firearm if you
have issued service firearm.
2.
Valid Service Firearm’s License
Just in case you have issued service firearm while on duty, make sure that
you must always carry with you the valid licence of the agency’s firearm,
because when you get caught that you are holding unlicensed firearm by
authorized law enforcement, you are in trouble, because they will charge you as
well as your security agency with illegal possession of firearms.
3.
Mission Order or DDO (Duty Detail
Order)
Duty detail order is a document issued to a person authorizing to engage
in guarding. In DDO stated that the following guards are hereby assigned to
render security duties in the establishment and must be in proper uniform and
also indicated in the DDO the type of the firearm you carry and how many live ammunition.
Most of the security agencies issued DDO to their guards in monthly basis.
4.
Security Agency’s Valid License To
Operate
License to operate is the documentary requirements issued by
Police authority (PNP-SOSIA) to engage in security business. Security Agency’s
operator should furnish a copy of the license to the guard assigned in the
establishment to legalize the transactions.
5.
Record Book
The last but not the least, the record book or logbook.
The record book is confidential and very important document for security
guard, for the reason that you write down all your activities and monitoring,
like for example if you are guarding a factory you should always record the
arrival of the managers and supervisors including their vehicle’s plate number,
and likewise other activity occurred in your area of assignment for proper
reference in the future..
Make sure that you should avoid any erasure in your logbook and keep it
for 3 to 5 years, since it might be used in trial-court as evidence when
untoward incident occurred.
