Free Security Post Orders Template

Post orders are the written instructions for one security post: what the officer does, when, and who to call. Supervisors and site managers can use this as a starting point; officers can use it to know what to ask for.

Tips

• Write one set of post orders for each post, and keep a copy at the post.
• Use plain steps: what to do, when, and who to call.
• Say what the officer should not do as clearly as what they should do.
• Never write alarm codes, passwords or safe combinations on copies kept at the post.
• Have every officer read and sign each new version, and keep the signed copies.
• Review them whenever duties, contacts or the site change.
