New Security Employee Outline
Introduction:
Investigative principles are very important to successful security personnel operational duties and effectiveness when investigating criminally related scenarios. Utilizing proven investigate tactics will enable the newly hired security employee to possess the means for resolving situations that require structured investigative tactics for success. This employee guide provides an overview of key investigative principles for the security professional.
Searching
1. Security employees are expected to conduct search patrols within an investigative manner, to identify possible breaches or suspicious activity in the electronics warehouse. Security searches may include an attempt at tracking trespassers, locating items that may have been lost or stolen as a result of insider theft, and trying to find evidence related to a criminal investigation within the premises.
Interviews
2. Security personnel who have been suspected of any violations up to and including theft, sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, violence, vandalism, or time theft, will be interviewed by the HR department to determine further action. For instances related to theft of any electronics from within the warehouse, a process of elimination will be conducted to determine which employees were actively working during the theft incident, and at which area of the building it occurred at. Employee background and history will be compared against one another to determine the most likely culprit of the offense. “For each interview, you should prepare opening and closing remarks and a set of questions. This does not preclude asking follow up questions during the interview.” (Slater, 2010).
Evidence Overview
3. New employees should be aware of the importance of analyzing and utilizing physical evidence to help determine who is responsible for any crimes possibly associated with them. Damage to warehouse equipment, broken glass, marks on the floor, and any type of stains found, can be associated with physical evidence. Security employees can follow a trail of evidence to aid in determining how, why, and who committed an offense/s within the electronics warehouse. Documentable evidence are other forms of physical evidence that provide a hard copy of verifiable facts, statistics, and associated employee information. During the investigative overview process, investigative security personnel possess the professional capacity to review documentable evidence and compare information acquired to newly relevant information within the investigation.
Evidence Preservation
4. Preserving important evidence is crucial during the investigative process. Items found that are considered relevant to the security investigation should be clearly marked and labeled, according to their identification standards. Evidence that has not been preserved with proper care and storage carefulness, may be considered inadmissible if used in a court of law because of the degree ...

What Employees Should Know About Workplace Investigations.pdf
- 1. Why Workplace Investigations Are Necessary? Your Rights During a Workplace Investigation Confidentiality Cooperation Retaliation Workplace investigations are necessary to ensure all employees are treated fairly and respectfully. You also have the right to provide information and evidence relevant to the investigation. Additionally, you have the right to be free from retaliation for participating in an investigation. It's also important to understand that while investigators will do their best to maintain confidentiality, they may need to disclose certain information to conduct a thorough investigation. This includes answering questions truthfully and providing any relevant information or evidence. Refusing to cooperate can result in disciplinary action and make it more difficult for the investigator to determine the facts of the case. This includes any adverse actions, such as termination, demotion, or harassment. If you believe you have been retaliated against for participating in an investigation, you should report it immediately to the investigator or HR department. What Employees Should Know About Workplace Investigations telljane.co.uk What to Expect During a Workplace Investigation It's important to be honest, and forthcoming during the interview and to provide any information or evidence you have. The investigator may also request documents or other evidence relevant to the case.
