Are you a company that needs security for an event or on a permanent basis? Are you a private individual organising a private event in or around Toulouse? Discover the job of a security officer and call on the services of One Prévention.

What is a security officer?

A security officer is responsible for protecting property and people. They welcome visitors,
monitor and control access to the sites they are assigned to. In the event of an accident or
exceptional incident, they take part in rescue operations.

How do you become a security officer?

To work as a security officer, you must hold a professional card issued by the CNAPS (the French National Council for Private Security Activities).
This card is obtained through CQP APS training, which covers an introduction to the
security officer profession and the requirements regarding regulations and the various
duties.


In addition to a valid CNAPS card, two other conditions are required to enrol in
security officer training: a clean criminal record and French nationality (or a
residence permit of at least 5 years for foreign nationals).

What skills does a security officer need?

A security officer must have certain interpersonal and
behavioural skills to do the job well. One very important ability: staying calm. They must be able to handle a critical situation between several people while keeping a cool head. Being vigilant, attentive to every detail and able to analyse suspicious behaviour is also essential.


A security officer must have solid theoretical knowledge and a good command of
procedures. They must also have knowledge of
first aid and master the basics of alarm and surveillance systems.
