Security Officer

At Westminster College, we believe in immersive and enriching experiences that inspire creative thinking and problem solving. We believe in creating opportunities for several different paths to success over a lifetime and the potential to make an impact from wherever you are. For our students, we do this by providing real-world, hands-on learning opportunities, small class sizes, and talented professors dedicated to the individual. Our employees often remark that our tight-knit community creates an atmosphere fostering campus involvement that adapts to all interests. As a result, Westminster continues to be recognized for its excellence in higher education as one of the best small liberal arts colleges in the Midwest.

The Security Officer is responsible for helping provide a safe and secure environment for students, employees, visitors, and guests of Westminster College. Security Officers provide campus coverage through foot and vehicle patrols, building checks, access control, emergency response, incident reporting, event security, and other campus safety functions. Officers are expected to maintain a visible and professional presence, respond promptly to calls for service, exercise good judgment, and follow College policies, Security Department procedures, post orders, and supervisory direction.

Security operations are conducted 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Officers may be assigned to days, evenings, overnight shifts, weekends, holidays, and special events based upon the operational needs of the College.
