We are particularly interested in candidates residing in or near Panorama City, Van Nuys, Pacoima, Mission Hills, North Hollywood, Northridge, and Reseda.

These are active security assignments, not stationary posts.

Our properties require officers who are comfortable maintaining a strong security presence, conducting continuous patrols, addressing unauthorized activity, and professionally handling challenging situations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct continuous foot patrols throughout assigned properties.
• Maintain a visible and professional security presence.
• Address trespassing, loitering, and unauthorized activity appropriately.
• Professionally request that unauthorized individuals leave private property when authorized by site procedures.
• Handle challenging interactions through verbal communication and de-escalation.
• Respond promptly to incidents and notify Dispatch, supervisors, or law enforcement when necessary.
• Complete hourly electronic activity reports and detailed incident reports.
• Follow company post orders, safety procedures, and reporting requirements.
• Maintain reliable attendance and arrive on time for scheduled shifts.

Ideal Candidates:

We encourage applications from individuals with experience in:

• Shopping center and retail security.
• Commercial property security.
• Mobile and foot patrol operations.
• Retail loss prevention.
• High-activity security environments.

We are not looking for officers who simply observe from one location. Our assignments require active participation, sound judgment, consistent patrols, and timely communication.

Officers are expected to handle situations professionally, prioritize safety, and request assistance when appropriate. Physical confrontation or unauthorized use of force is not expected.

Why Join Steadfast Security?:

• Multiple assignment locations throughout the San Fernando Valley.
• Day, swing, and overnight shift opportunities.
• Full-time and part-time positions.
