Security personnel screening

Abstract

Honesty is the key word, in the process of hiring employees. It's important in any business, it's critical in the security business. The damage a dishonest employee can create is irreversable, and it's the night mare of the security chief. Some examples: guards that let unauthorised personnel into the plant facilities, which in turn steal information and/or products,A CCTV controller with a drugs problem; Employees who trade their employers trade secrets, and so on. Because of all these problems,the security business should screen it's applicants very thoroughly, to prevent such cases. The process of security screening is made up of two elements. The first element is the background review with a special emphasis on the applicants involvement in any wrong doing in the past. The second element is the attempt to evaluate the applicants morale character. One has to remember, employees who were never involved in their past in wrong doing are not necessarily honest, they might just have lacked the opportunity or motives.
