From shopping malls to offices, concerts, schools and apartment buildings, and even electrical distribution sites and nuclear power plants. Almost any place that draws a large number of people, or has a resource which needs protection, requires security officers to be present and active.  Some of the areas which require security officers that people often forget about are power plants, gas companies, and other places where society’s resources are stored and distributed.

Also, security officers are needed at special events, spectator sports events and especially campaign events. Security officers act as a way to maintain law and order in areas where lots of people gather or many people filter through on a daily basis; they also serve to protect property in many different venues.
