Which responsibility is typically not assigned to a PSO during their service?

During their service, a Physical Security Officer (PSO) focuses primarily on the immediate security needs such as maintaining physical security, controlling access to facilities, and documenting incidents and occurrences. These responsibilities are critical to ensuring the safety and security of the environment they are tasked with monitoring.

Training new PSOs is generally not a responsibility assigned to them during their service. While experienced PSOs may have the knowledge and skills to assist in the training of newcomers, this task typically falls under a different role or a designated trainer within the organization. Training new personnel requires a dedicated focus on instructional methods, policies, and the broader vision of the security operations, which is often outside the day-to-day duties of a PSO. Instead, their primary function is to ensure that established security protocols are followed and that the facility is secure.
