Now Hiring: Armed & Unarmed Security Officers - FT/PT/Seasonal

Job Description

Job DescriptionAbout the Role:
At CCCPS, security is more than just standing post—it’s about being trusted to make judgment calls, manage tough situations, and represent our team with professionalism.

We’re currently hiring for both armed and unarmed positions, and the majority of our work is based in the Portland-Metro area. Whether you’re an experienced officer or just starting out, we offer opportunities for those who want more than a static post. Officers who stand out may be selected for specialized details including executive protection, media security, workplace violence response, secured transports, event services, and more.

If you’re reliable, adaptable, and looking for real-world experience with long-term potential—we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do:

• Patrol assigned locations—on foot or by vehicle—to maintain high visibility and deter unwanted activity
  
  
• Enforce site-specific access control procedures
  
  
• Exclude or remove trespassers when appropriate
  
  
• Respond to reports of suspicious activity or emergencies
  
  
• Act as a calm, professional presence in both routine and high-stress situations
  
  
• Coordinate with law enforcement, fire, or EMS when needed
  
  
• Document daily activities and write clear, accurate incident reports
  
  

What We’re Looking For:

• Prior security, military, or public safety experience preferred
  
  
• Valid Oregon DPSST license (armed or unarmed)
  
  
• High school diploma or GED required
  
  
• Solid report writing and communication skills
  
  
• Strong customer service mindset—especially in high-visibility or client-facing roles
  
  
• Dependable, punctual, and able to work independently
  
  
• Willingness to work weekends, nights, and holidays as needed
  
  
• Physically able to stand or walk for extended periods without accommodations
  
  

Driving Requirements (Patrol Assignments Only):
A valid driver’s license and clean driving record are required for any patrol assignment involving a company vehicle. While most patrol shifts use CCCPS vehicles, officers may occasionally be asked to use a personal vehicle. Mileage reimbursement is provided when applicable.

Appearance Standards:
Professional appearance matters. Officers are expected to wear company-issued uniforms or plainclothes attire (as assigned) and follow basic grooming standards.

• Neatly trimmed facial hair is permitted
  
  
• Hair of any length and conservative color is acceptable (must be tied back if long)
  
  
• Conservative earrings are fine; facial piercings must be removed or replaced with flesh-colored retainers while on duty
  
  

Why Join CCCPS?

• Career advancement opportunities
  
  
• Hands-on training and professional development
  
  
• Health & dental insurance options
  
  
• A leadership team that actually knows your name
