Duties Description The New York State Education Department's (NYSED) Office of Facilities and Business Services and Office of Cultural Education (OCE) are seeking dependable and service-oriented candidates for a Security Officer position with the Cultural Education Center (CEC), supporting the New York State Museum, Library, and Archives. Security Officers play an essential frontline role in maintaining the safety and security of visitors, staff, collections, and facilities across the CEC.

Located in Albany, the Cultural Education Center is home to the New York State Museum, Library, and Archives-three of the State's leading cultural and research institutions. The New York State Museum, the nation's oldest and largest state museum, welcomes more than 500,000 visitors annually and serves as a cornerstone of New York's cultural and educational landscape. The New York State Library, established in 1818 and the largest state library in the nation, houses more than 20 million research items supporting government operations and researchers across the state.

The New York State Archives preserves and provides access to historically significant records documenting the government and history of New York State. Together, these institutions preserve and share New York's documentary heritage for residents, students, researchers, and visitors each year.

Working under the supervision of the Senior Security Officer, Security Officers patrol and monitor public and restricted areas of the Cultural Education Center, assist visitors, and respond to safety and security concerns as they arise. Serving as the visible security presence for the Cultural Education Center, Security Officers help maintain a safe, orderly, and welcoming environment for visitors, researchers, and staff.

Duties of this position include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Patrol public areas, restricted spaces, and building entrances to maintain security and deter disruptive or unauthorized activity;

* Inspect facilities for hazardous or unsafe conditions and report concerns to appropriate staff to ensure timely correction;

* Respond to emergencies, including medical incidents, fires, alarms, or building evacuations, and assist with directing visitors and staff during emergency situations;
