What is a patrol driver?

A Patrol Driver is a security professional responsible for monitoring and inspecting designated areas by driving a vehicle as part of their security patrol duties. They help deter criminal activity, respond to incidents, and ensure the safety of properties, assets, or people within their assigned routes. Patrol Drivers often work for security companies, private businesses, or public organizations, and may be required to write reports, check access points, and provide assistance during emergencies.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a patrol driver, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Patrol Driver, you need a valid driver's license, a clean driving record, and knowledge of security protocols or law enforcement procedures. Familiarity with GPS navigation systems, two-way radios, and incident reporting software is typically required. Strong observational skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for this role. These abilities ensure the safety and security of assigned areas, enable quick response to incidents, and promote clear reporting and teamwork.

What are some typical challenges faced by patrol drivers and how can they be managed effectively?

Patrol Drivers often encounter challenges such as working irregular hours, responding to unexpected incidents, and maintaining vigilance during long shifts. These challenges can be managed by adhering to detailed protocols, staying in close communication with dispatch and team members, and regularly participating in safety training. Building strong situational awareness and practicing stress management techniques are also essential for staying effective and safe on the job.

Job description

Are you the type of the individual that is vigilant and observes what others don't even notice? Do you prefer working by yourself?

While previous experience in law enforcement or security is preferred, we will offer training to ideal candidates.
Ready to make a positive impact in security and gain strong experience in the industry? Apply today to be considered.

  • Must be at least 26 years of age for insurance approval.
  • Must be able to obtain and maintain a Denver Guard Card (https://www.denvergov.org/Government/Agencies-Departments-Offices/Agencies-Departments-Offices-Directory/Business-Licensing/Business-licenses/Security-services/Security-guards )
  • Ability to drive, sit, stand and walk for up to 8-hours, lift objects weighing up to 25 lbs.
  • Ability to be flexible in scheduling for shifts that are overnight, day, or swing and include weekends and holidays.
Why APS?
We are NOT large and have no intentions of becoming 'corporate'. We are a black- and minority-owned local business in the Denver Metro area.
  • Competitive pay reflective of your skills and experience
  • Range of benefits to include: Medical, Dental, Vision, Voluntary Life, Accident, and Hospital Indemnity
  • Employer 401k matching (up to 3%)
  • Paid weekly
  • Professional development through our internal trainers and third-party vendors to allow for opportunities to advance.
  • Veteran preference - we have a workforce that consists of over 20% veterans; ensuring jobs for our heroes and their families.

Compensation: Begins at $24.00
Position: Full-Time and Part-Time (Non-Exempt)
APS is committed to providing a workplace free from discrimination or harassment. We expect every member of the APS community to do their part to cultivate and maintain an environment where everyone has the opportunity to feel included and is afforded the respect and dignity they deserve.
Decisions related to hiring, compensating, training, evaluating performance, or terminating are made fairly, and we provide equal employment opportunities to all qualified candidates and employees.
