      Dedicated Staff Supporting and Contributing to an Important Mission…

      Security
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Dedicated Staff Supporting and Contributing to an Important Mission…Yet not important enough to ensure that it’s security personnel at ALL levels meet requisite qualifications, credentials, leadership and ethical standards. LOYALITY is to an Institution and it’s mission NOT to an INDIVIDUAL

      Cons

      Missed opportunities to correct discrepancies in selection process of qualified security personnel with requisite credentials to perform unaccompanied in common restricted access areas. Networking notwithstanding - poor business practices, resulting in reduced morale as there is little to no oversight of hiring managers facilitating the hire of friends in supervisory and non supervisory positions who fail to meet key requirements. Such practices create redundancies in staffing schedules and expense to “babysit” new and existing personnel who have no eligibility.
