This is a standing security post located at a high-end retail establishment. Officers will be responsible for maintaining a professional security presence, controlling access to the store, and allowing customers to enter according to the client's established capacity and access-control policies.

This position is well suited for active-duty police officers and retired law enforcement officers with current IROCC and other required Illinois credentials who are looking for professional off-duty security work in a premium retail environment.

The ideal candidate is professional, observant, approachable, and comfortable interacting with members of the public while maintaining a strong security presence.

• Maintain a professional and visible armed security presence at the main entrance of the retail location
• Control customer entry in accordance with the client's capacity and access-control policies
• Monitor and manage the flow of customers entering the establishment
• Politely communicate with customers regarding entry procedures and store policies
• Observe customers, employees, and activity in and around the entrance for potential security concerns
• Identify and appropriately respond to suspicious activity, disturbances, or other security-related concerns
• Maintain a high level of situational awareness throughout the shift
• Respond to emergencies, medical incidents, disturbances, or other incidents in accordance with post orders and company policy
• Communicate with store management and Blue Line Security Solutions supervisors regarding security concerns or incidents
• Coordinate with Chicago Police Department and emergency responders when necessary
• Prepare accurate and professional incident reports and daily activity reports when required
• Maintain confidentiality regarding the client, employees, customers, operations, and security procedures
• Follow all client-specific post orders, company policies, and applicable Illinois laws and regulations
• Maintain professional appearance, demeanor, and customer-service standards at all times
• Remain attentive and professional while standing for extended periods
• Complete required company and site-specific training
• Perform additional security-related duties as assigned by management

Because this assignment is located within a high-end retail environment, officers are expected to maintain a professional, polished, and customer-service-oriented presence at all times.

The officer's role is not limited to security enforcement. Officers will regularly interact with customers and retail personnel and must be able to enforce access-control procedures while remaining courteous, respectful, and professional.

Officers must be able to balance a strong security presence with the level of customer service expected at a premium retail establishment.
