Additional coverage may be requested for graduation ceremonies, College holidays, inclement weather events, and special events. Security personnel must conduct patrols at 60- to 90-minute intervals per shift, secure and open facilities, monitor weather conditions and emergency procedures, and monitor designated computer server systems. The College will provide a vehicle or golf cart for patrol when available. All security officers must complete a basic training program and receive written procedural guides. Personnel must pass criminal background investigations and employment reference checks prior to hire. Services are provided on a no-weapons basis unless otherwise authorized in writing.

The Contractor must maintain workers' compensation insurance and general liability insurance and comply with all applicable North Carolina requirements.
