Security and facilities are my passion. security is not suppose to be compromised at all times.
safe custody of offenders during work teams during the day. manage access control and make sure that there is proper identification. good working relationship with my subordinates, by involving them in team building every six month. appreciate their effort working according to the six pillars of security, like, personnel measures, physical measures, information measures, technological measures, etc
