This program will provide employees with the requisite training and certification needed for the role as a Security & Emergency Services Officer.

The program includes the opportunity to become familiar with the Security and Emergency Services Team, company paid training and testing fees, and the opportunity to become an Security & Emergency Services Officer at Brooksby Village.
