- Oversee CCTV, access control, alarms, key control, and other security systems and programs.
- Lead the response to guest and associate incidents, emergencies, disturbances, injuries, theft, property damage, and other safety concerns.
- Ensure incidents are thoroughly investigated, documented, reported, and escalated appropriately.
- Develop and maintain security post orders, patrol standards, emergency procedures, and escalation protocols.
- Conduct emergency drills, training exercises, safety inspections, and competency assessments.
- Oversee resort vehicle and golf cart safety programs, including associate training, inspections, and compliance.
- Monitor traffic flow, parking, access points, and other areas impacting resort safety and security.
- Track incident trends, response times, security effectiveness, and other key performance indicators to identify opportunities for improvement.
- Serve as a key member of the resort’s emergency response team and primary Safety & Security liaison to the General Manager during crisis situations.
