Vendor & Stakeholder Coordination • Act as primary point of contact for contract security provider(s) at assigned venues—ensuring post orders, training requirements, and performance standards are met. • Monitor vendor compliance (staffing levels, punctuality, uniform standards, licensing, incident documentation, training completion) and escalate deficiencies through contract management channels. • Coordinate with public safety and external partners, including local law enforcement, fire rescue, EMS, and emergency management, to align roles, communications, and response protocols. • Participate in tabletop exercises, drills, and multi-agency planning meetings; document lessons learned and track corrective actions. Incident Management, Reporting & Intelligence/Threat Coordination • Serve as a security duty leader during assigned operational periods; utilize incident command principles and coordinate with the Command Post when activated. • Ensure timely, accurate incident documentation, after-action reporting, and evidence preservation practices (as applicable) in coordination with internal stakeholders. • Support threat intake, triage, and coordination activities (e.g., suspicious activity reporting, disruptive individuals, social media threats, prohibited access concerns) consistent with organizational protocols. • Maintain high standards of confidentiality and professionalism, particularly involving players, coaches, executives, and sensitive operational information. Training, Preparedness & Continuous Improvement • Support development and delivery of security training content for contract security and internal staff (venue protocols, de-escalation, emergency procedures, radio discipline, access control, customer service, prohibited items). • Conduct readiness checks for security technology and critical systems (CCTV coordination, access control health checks, alarm response routing, radio interoperability), partnering with IT/Facilities/vendors. • Drive continuous improvement through trend analysis of incidents, gate data, staffing observations, and post-event reviews; recommend operational enhancements.
