Job that I will create

Mine. I had the opportunity to enter two public buildings recently that had security issues that needed attending. The more critical one was a church that has a nursery and preschool program. It had access points without checking, and with the remote possiblity that a child would be unatteneded, that would be a major problem. Moreover, with unsecured access points the school could have been a host to a number of problems, including things being put into the church/school.

I walked in looking for something, but found that I entered the wrong door. There were no cameras (not surprising considering that it is a church). There were no fob entries to the doors and there were poorly lit stairs very close to the door. That was pretty scary that it was so dangerous.

The other building was a hotel where there were ballrooms in an addition to the '90s building. The overhang was "perfect" for a wedding reception or something comparable. It sheilded double doors, which were unlocked. There were guest rooms around, elevators, and a buisness center with computer and printers. The connecting hallways between the ballrooms were dimly lit with a fire alarm box broken from the wall.

At the time of my being there, there were several people with casual clothes who didn't have rooms. While there, two older women entered the door and wandered through the hotel, looking for a room, perhaps? They were also looking for the office. This spells a larger problem, as a person has greater access in a hotel and generally no one asks to see your passcard.

My job would be to assess security issues and resolve them. It would use one of my abilities to assess threats, more accurate on individual basis.
