* Professionally, proportionately, and objectively defuse conflict and hostility.
* Competently and proportionately use physical intervention techniques as necessary.
* Maintain accurate records of occupancy, checks, and occurrences.
* Proactively and promptly respond to support colleagues and react to observed threats or alarm activations.
* Investigate suspicious activity, persons and vehicles of interest, sharing information with colleagues, management, and the police, as appropriate.
* Maintain appropriate records and detailed accounts of incidents in the required form.
* Challenge, apprehend, detain and, where appropriate, arrest suspects and liaise with the police to preserve evidence, prepare statements and file incident reports.
* Support stakeholders so far as is reasonable.
* Act as an Ambassador for the Company, maintaining high standards of driving and professional behaviour.
