Position Overview

We are seeking a dependable, experienced Security Post Commander to lead security operations at an HOA community in the Los Angeles / Culver City / Baldwin Hills area.

• Conduct shift briefings, assign duties, coordinate breaks, and communicate important information between shifts.

• Perform and oversee foot, bicycle, and vehicle patrols throughout the community.

• Monitor common areas, access points, parking areas, and other assigned locations for safety concerns and suspicious activity.

• Address resident and visitor concerns courteously while maintaining professional boundaries.

• Apply community parking and access rules consistently, within authorized procedures.

• Respond to incidents, disturbances, and emergencies using sound judgment and de-escalation techniques.

• Complete and review daily activity reports, incident reports, patrol records, and shift pass-downs.

• Promptly communicate significant incidents, maintenance concerns, and staffing issues to Treston management and the appropriate property representative.

• Coach officers, document performance concerns, and reinforce company policies and site procedures.
