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

• 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.

• 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.
