Industrial Site Security

Last year, Timberland Security expanded their services to include industrial sites. Often a mixture of undeveloped or environmental lands and production facilities, our experience and versatility have proven invaluable.

The law enforcement background of our Resource Protection Officers gives them the demeanor to effectively interact with the plant personnel and the experience to respond to situations that may arise.

Some of the services that Timberland Security offers to our industrial clients include:
• Roving patrols of plant facilities and undeveloped properties.

• Monitoring close circuit television systems.

• Weighing of transport vehicles entering and leaving the facility.
• Reports documenting injuries, accidents, and violations.
• Liaison with local law enforcement.
• Optional crime prevention and personal protection training for facility employees.

Facility Security Director and RPO Supervisor.

The typical industrial security force includes a Security Director, to oversee all plant security operations; Resource Protection Officers, to act as roving supervisors; and Security Officers, to man gates, scales, and CCTV Systems.

The Security Director is a Resource Protection Officer that has security management experience. He will be a salaried employee that is on call 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

One or more Resource Protection Officers are assigned to a shift. Their duties involve the supervision of Security Officers, roving patrols, report documentation, and inspections of sensitive facilities. Resource Protection Officers typically patrol the site in two-wheel drive Polaris® Professional Series UTV’s. Four-wheel drive equipment will be provided as needed to patrol undeveloped or environmental lands.

Security Officers are used to man guard gates, operate scales, and monitor CCTV systems. Utilized in this capacity, Security Officers can save a client approximately 10% over a Resource Protection Officer in the same position.
