Be the steady hand that helps our campus thrive. North Idaho College is seeking a Lead Security Officer to help guide and support a dedicated security team, safeguard our community, and ensure a welcoming and secure learning environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
In this role, you'll wear two hats: leader and officer. You'll help schedule and train security staff, coordinate daily operations, and step up as acting supervisor when needed. You’ll also patrol the campus, respond to emergencies, and provide front-line security services with professionalism, discretion, and a calm presence. From investigating incidents and supporting safety protocols to conducting trainings and helping lost visitors find their way, your leadership will make a visible impact.
We’re looking for someone with excellent communication and conflict-resolution skills, a solid understanding of Idaho laws and college safety procedures, and the ability to manage people and situations with confidence and empathy. Prior experience in law enforcement, military, or campus security is essential. Familiarity with Clery Act reporting, CPR/first aid certification, and comfort using computers and reporting systems are also key.
Join us in supporting student success and community safety—one shift, one patrol, one conversation at a time.
