Perimeter Integrity: Conduct regular patrols of the event space to identify and report potential security vulnerabilities.

Who You Are

Commanding Presence: You carry yourself with authority and confidence.

Alert & Proactive: You don’t wait for trouble to find you; you spot risks early.

Reliable: Since this is a standby/first-choice role, we need people who show up on time, every time, ready to work.

Mobile: You are willing to travel to various event locations throughout Delaware.

Requirements

Previous experience in security, law enforcement, or military is highly preferred.

Ability to stand and walk for extended periods (6–10 hours depending on the event).

Must have reliable transportation and a clean background check.

Valid Delaware Security Guard License (Yellow Card) or the ability to obtain one is required.

Must have smart phone with data to use throughout the shift.
