- Conduct site inspections (announced and unannounced) to verify officer compliance with post orders, uniform standards, and professional conduct

- Answer dispatch calls and respond to client inquiries, officer emergencies, and maintenance issues

- Review and approve incident reports for accuracy and professionalism before client delivery

- Coach, mentor, and train officers in the field — including new hire onboarding

- Monitor operations through scheduling, fleet, and camera systems

- Document all shift activity and provide clear end-of-shift handoffs
