About the Role
At CCCPS, security is more than standing post. Its about judgment, accountability, and being a visible, professional presence that keeps employees and customers safe .

Were currently hiring armed and unarmed officers for retail-based assignments throughout the Portland-Metro area. This is not a loss prevention role . While situational awareness and deterrence matter, the primary focus is protecting people , de-escalating issues, and responding appropriately when situations arise.

This is a hands-on security role . Officers are expected to intervene when appropriate, not merely observe and report.

This is a full-time position in retail and patrol environments. We are specifically looking for an officer with open availability - weekdays, weekends, various shifts.

Officers who demonstrate reliability, sound judgment, and professionalism may be considered for specialized assignments, including executive protection, media security, workplace violence response, secured transports, and event services.
