Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the standards of conduct of individual security employee whose performance plays the main role in the overall performance of the Security Department. Their performance is measured by their conduct as well as their specific job skills. Standards of conduct for the security employee should emphasize basic courtesy toward fellow employees and others, even in the handling of transgressors; responsibility in carrying out duties; fairness and objectivity while respecting the rights of others; a spirit of cooperation; personal integrity, both on the job and in his or her personal life; and a cheerful, positive attitude. The standards related to personal integrity include self-respect, which means dignity and pride in oneself and what one does; honesty in words as well as deeds; cleanliness and personal hygiene; consistency in action and reaction; and fidelity in terms of the careful observance of duties as well as loyalty. The security officer must also observe the highest of standards in terms of right or proper conduct as his poor reputation impinges on the department's reputation. Security employees who exemplify these standards enhance the reputation and the effectiveness of the security function and the Security Department as a whole.
