At CCCPS, security is more than standing post. It’s about judgment, accountability, and being a visible, professional presence that keeps employees and customers safe.

We’re currently hiring armed and unarmed officers for retail-based assignments throughout the Portland-Metro area. This is not a loss prevention role. While situational awareness and deterrence matter, the primary focus is protecting people, de‑escalating issues, and responding appropriately when situations arise.

This is a hands‑on security role. Officers are expected to intervene when appropriate, not merely observe and report.

This is a full‑time position (38 hours/week) in retail and patrol environments. We are specifically looking for an officer who can reliably work Thursday through Monday, with availability to pick up additional shifts for sick calls, vacations, and short‑notice coverage.

Officers who demonstrate reliability, sound judgment, and professionalism may be considered for specialized assignments, including executive protection, media security, workplace violence response, secured transports, and event services.

If you’re adaptable, dependable, and looking for meaningful security work with long‑term potential, we want to hear from you.
