    About the Role At CCCPS, security is more than standing post. It’s about judgment, accountability, and being a visible, professional presence that keeps employees and customers safe.

    We’re currently hiring armed and unarmed officers for retail-based assignments throughout the Portland-Metro area. This is not a loss prevention role. While situational awareness and deterrence matter, the primary focus is protecting people, de-escalating issues, and responding appropriately when situations arise.

    This is a hands-on security role. Officers are expected to intervene when appropriate, not merely observe and report.

    This is a part-time / flex position with guaranteed hours in a retail environment. We are specifically looking for an officer who can reliably work Thursday through Saturday, with availability to pick up additional shifts for sick calls, vacations, and short-notice coverage.

    Officers who demonstrate reliability, sound judgment, and professionalism may be considered for specialized assignments, including executive protection, media security, workplace violence response, secured transports, and event services.

    If you’re adaptable, dependable, and looking for meaningful security work with long-term potential, we want to hear from you.

    What You’ll Do

    Patrol assigned retail locations (on foot or by vehicle, as applicable) to maintain visibility and deter unwanted activity

    Enforce site-specific access control procedures

    Exclude or remove trespassers when appropriate

    Respond to suspicious activity, incidents, or emergencies

    Act as a calm, professional presence in both routine and high-stress situations

    Coordinate with law enforcement, fire, or EMS when necessary

    Take appropriate, lawful action when required, including detaining individuals to protect employees, customers, or property, in accordance with training, policy, and Oregon law

    Complete clear, accurate daily activity and incident reports

    What We’re Looking For

    Prior security, military, or public safety experience preferred

    Valid Oregon DPSST license (armed and/or unarmed)

    High school diploma or GED

    Strong communication and report-writing skills

    Exceptional customer service and interpersonal skills; must be able to remain calm, professional, and respectful when interacting with a wide range of personalities, including demanding or high-conflict individuals

    Dependable, punctual, and comfortable working independently

    Availability to work Thursday–Saturday and pick up additional coverage shifts as needed

    Physically able to stand or walk for extended periods

    Driving Requirements (Patrol Assignments as Applicable) A valid driver’s license and clean driving record are required for assignments involving a company vehicle.

    Appearance Standards Professional appearance matters. Officers are expected to wear company-issued uniforms or assigned plainclothes attire and follow basic grooming standards.

    Neatly trimmed facial hair is permitted

    Hair of any length and conservative color is acceptable (must be tied back if long)

    Conservative earrings are acceptable; facial piercings must be removed or replaced with flesh-colored retainers while on duty
