NAVTTC Security Supervisor/Manager study plan

Define the shift supervisor's core duties: briefing, post assignment, patrol supervision, incident command at first response, and handover, and list them in a one-page duty checklist.

Draft a 10-point pre-shift briefing template covering threat level, post orders changes, visitor/VIP activity, equipment status, and welfare issues.

Explain how to allocate guards to posts using risk priority, fatigue limits, and minimum manning, using two worked staffing scenarios.

Describe the supervisor's role in conducting and logging a patrol round, including what to verify versus what to merely observe.

Summarise the escalation ladder for a guard who reports a suspicious person, from radio call to police notification.

Analyse three sample incident scenarios (theft, unauthorised entry, disorderly visitor) and write the supervisor's decision sequence for each.

Design a layered perimeter for a small site: fence line, lighting, reception, and internal zone, and justify each layer in two sentences.

Compare three access control models (token, PIN, biometric) on cost, tailgating risk, and fail-safe versus fail-secure behaviour.

Build a visitor management procedure covering pre-registration, ID verification, badge issue, escort rules, and badge return.

List five common access control failures (propped doors, shared codes, unescorted contractors) and state the supervisory control that prevents each.

Conduct a threat, vulnerability, and risk assessment (TVRA) for a hypothetical site and score at least eight risks on likelihood and impact.

Distinguish threat, vulnerability, and risk precisely, and correct five misused statements in a sample report.

Rank identified risks and assign one of four treatment options (avoid, reduce, transfer, accept) to each, with a justification.

Identify five information sources for a risk assessment: site survey, incident logs, staff interviews, crime statistics, and regulatory guidance.

Write the executive summary of a risk register in under 200 words so a non-security manager can act on it.

Outline the emergency response sequence for fire, bomb threat, medical collapse, and suspicious package, including who calls whom and in what order.

Explain the fire triangle, the classes of fire, and which extinguisher type suits each class, and state when to evacuate instead of fighting a fire.

Describe the PASS technique for extinguisher use and the supervisor's duties during evacuation, roll call, and re-entry authorisation.

Apply the primary survey (DRABC) and demonstrate adult CPR compression rate, depth, and hand placement, plus recovery position and choking response.

Draft an evacuation drill plan with scenario, roles, timings, and a debrief checklist.

Specify camera placement for entrances, cash handling, and perimeter using coverage, lighting, and privacy considerations, and identify three common placement errors.

Explain retention periods, chain of custody for footage export, and how to produce evidence that stands up to scrutiny.

Describe alarm system components (sensors, control panel, monitoring, response) and distinguish false alarm causes from genuine activations.

State the supervisor's checklist for testing and logging alarm and CCTV faults, including escalation timelines.

Apply data protection principles to CCTV and personal data: lawful basis for recording, access limitation, secure storage, and subject access requests.

Define the legal limits on search, detention, and use of force for a private security officer, and explain the consequences of exceeding them.

Distinguish civil from criminal liability and identify when police must be called versus when an internal report suffices.

Explain the supervisor's duty to preserve evidence and avoid contaminating a scene before police arrive.

Write an incident report using the who, what, when, where, why, and how structure, with facts separated from opinion and no hearsay.

Draft a witness statement and a daily occurrence log entry that would withstand cross-examination in an employment hearing.

Build a 12-week training matrix mapping team members to required competencies (fire, first aid, access control, report writing) and flag gaps.

Describe how to deliver a 15-minute toolbox talk and prepare one on manual handling or slip hazards.

Analyse two team performance problems (repeated lateness, poor report quality) and write a corrective coaching conversation plan for each.

Conduct a workplace hazard identification walk-through and record findings on a risk assessment form with control measures.

Explain the supervisor's responsibilities under occupational health and safety law: hazard reporting, PPE enforcement, and incident investigation.

Apply service standards to three difficult customer interactions (refused entry, lost property dispute, complaint about a guard) and write the response script for each.

Explain how professionalism, impartiality, and appearance affect public trust, and list five behaviours that damage it.

Integrate all twelve domains into a single 30-question self-test and score at least 80 percent.

Review every wrong self-test answer and write a one-line correction note for each to form a final revision sheet.

Produce a personal 30-day post-exam action plan for applying supervision practice on the job.
