Scott Robinson – Director of Security
I did every aspect of security for a Mall, except it is an outdoor mall, so other considerations have to be understood; such as weather, heat for guests and employees, many wet spots that have to have warning where lots of traffic is done, and other safety precautions, as well as easier ability for terroristic situation, or similar because of the layout of the Mall. Also because of a large group of Bars, intoxication problems may occur. There are many fights and disturbances, which must be controlled, and a special officer must have the empowerment to deal with drug dealers, Gangs, Large crowds, and safety of other quests on the property. Please read Allied responsibilities, so there is less repeat of same information.
