                           CLASS CONCEPTS

Senior Security Guard

Under general supervision, Senior Security Guards supervise and train Security
Guards and other personnel assigned to protective service duties; guard and
protect University property with a high intrinsic or monetary value, or a
high hazard potential such as open art displays or highly flammable materials;
maintain order among crowds at public events, but normally do not carry fire-
arms; control entry to restricted areas; check identity of persons seeking
entry; inspect areas for security, fire, and accident hazards, and take action
as required; watch for rule infractions and irregularities in public buildings
such as auditoriums, museums and theatres; may answer questions and direct
visitors; maintain public relations with all persons visiting assigned area;
and patrol parking lots to prevent crime.

Incumbents assigned to a Campus Police Department perform some or all of the
following duties: routine police reports, radio dispatching, emergency first
aid, traffic control, building and grounds security, prisoner processing,
record bureau assistance, and assistance to sworn officers as required.
Incumbents shall not be equipped with firearms unless on special assignment at
the direction of the campus Chief of Police, after having satisfactorily met
the training requirements set forth in Section 832 of the California Penal
Code.

The class of Senior Security Guard is distinguished from Security Guard in that
incumbents have supervisory responsibilities; greater opportunity for 
independent action during hours of campus inactivity; greater public contact 
responsibility; and the responsibility to guard University property with a 
high value or high hazard potential.

Security Guard

Under supervision, Security Guards protect and guard University property and
make inspection rounds on foot in an assigned area to prevent hazards such as
fire, theft, accidents and trespass; check doors, windows and locks to insure
that they are properly secured; check identification and prohibit entry of
unauthorized personnel; prevent unauthorized removal of property; maintain
order and watch for rule infractions and irregularities, and may evict persons
or report such infractions to University Officials or Police; notify proper
fire or police authorities in case of emergencies; direct visitors and answer
questions; may assist in light building maintenance duties or in the 
installation and removal of temporary exhibits; and may open and close 
University buildings, taking necessary security measures.  Incumbents in 
this class do not carry firearms and do not have the authority to make arrests.

Proctor

Under supervision, Proctors make periodic inspections of assigned grounds and
facilities to guard against security and rule infractions and other 
irregularities; during evening rounds check doors, windows and locks of 
secured areas; check for breakage, vandalism and irregularities in the 
physical plant system; after normal hours, intercept apparently unauthorized 
persons in assigned areas; determine the reason for their presence, and 
advise departure or offer aid; maintain a formal record of nightly 
irregularities and bring them to the attention of one's supervisor; return 
lounges to good order and determine that other public areas are properly 
maintained; and replace lightbulbs and make other minor maintenance 
adjustments.

Incumbents inform students of University rules and regulations, report student
violations of rules of conduct, and advise students that their conduct is 
subject to review by other University personnel; and serve as a principal 
source of information concerning University activities.  Incumbents should 
be aware of the activities calendar and conversant with special requests by 
University administrative personnel to the students.

The class of Proctor is distinguished from Senior Security Guard in that 
incumbents do not have the responsibility for guarding property with high 
value or high hazard potential. A Proctor is distinguished from Security Guard 
in that incumbents have public contact responsibilities for informing students 
of University rules, noting student misconduct and advising against or 
reporting such infractions. In addition, Proctors have limited custodial 
responsibilities.
