Ray Garcia
PSS employee -13 years

"In 1994 I was the first employee ever hired at PACWEST Security Services.  I still work at PACWEST today because I love what I do and the company I work for.  PACWEST, it's a great place to work."


Chuck Poutsma
PSS employee - 7 years

"I joined PACWEST in January of 2000 as a newcomer to the security industry.  Originally hired as a Security Officer I was quickly promoted through the ranks to Field Supervisor, then to Account Manager and now hold the position of Patrol Division General Manager, reporting directly to the President of the company.  I have been fortunate to work for a company that recognizes and ultimately rewards management potential within their employee ranks." 







Mike Bennett
PSS employee - 11 years

"In 1996 the company I had been working for lost the contract to PACWEST Security Services.  I was fortunate enough to be hired by PACWEST and was personally welcomed into the company by Dave Katzenmeyer, President. Prior to working at PACWEST I had worked for other security companies where training and employee advancement were limited or non-existent.  This is a professional organization where ownership is truly supportive and always puts their employee welfare first.  I am proud to work for a company like PACWEST Security Services."







John Peterson
PSS employee - 11 years

"At PACWEST I've been fortunate to work in a great environment with quality coworkers, a corporate management staff that is truly supportive, and where training has always been a top priority. Here at PACWEST I've learned to be proactive in the performance of my duties and to always handle situations before they become problems."

:: PSS Employee Training

Training is one of the most critical components for success in our industry. It's not enough that we recruit the right individual for the right position, it's what we do with them once they become a part of our team. At PACWEST, what we do is TRAIN.

Training makes the all the difference between an employee who is  confident in the client's expectations and understands how to fully execute their duties and responsibilities, and one that doesn't. 

We provide you with full-time, in-house trainers. You will receive new hire orientation training conducted at our office. We provide you with continuous and on-going training, as well as online training. Our online training academy is available 24/7 to all PSS employees through this website.

We contract for the highest wages and best benefits possible for all our employees, wages that are in line with or above market rates. Not only that, but you receive your paycheck every week.

Background Data

PACWEST Security Services functions in a position of public trust and is governed by government regulations regarding convictions of crimes. Therefore, PACWEST Security Services will conduct an investigation regarding criminal records if considered for employment. Offers of conditional employment are contingent upon the results of this investigation. Evidence of a conviction record is not necessarily a disqualification to employment; each case will be considered on its own merits. Fingerprinting; however, is a condition of employment.
 
Have you ever been convicted, pled no contest, participated in a pre-trial diversion, or been granted deferred adjudication in connection with a criminal offense involving, but not limited to: theft, perjury, sale of drugs, embezzlement, rape, murder, forgery, robbery, etc.?
  Yes No

Have you ever been refused a bond?
  Yes No
If yes, explain:

For reference checking purposes, have you used other names in previous employment or schooling?

If yes, list names:

Applicant's Acknowledgements and Authorizations

1. "I agree to immediately notify PSS if I should be charged with a crime or convicted of any crime while my job application is pending or during my period of employment, if hired."

2."I understand that if hired, I may not hold other employment with another security company (in any capacity) or other company and/or engage in other activities that create a conflict of interest with my position with PSS unless given permission in writing by PSS." If hired, I agree to not seek new employment with another security company while still employed with PSS.

3. "I understand that PSS has the right to change my work schedule, base pay and job assignment in accordance with job availability and job skill requirements."

4. "If I become employed, I understand that I must obtain and keep current, at my own cost, a valid Guard Registration card and that my employment will be terminated if I fail to renew my card on time or if it is denied, suspended or revoked."

Applicants are considered for all positions without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, citizenship status, veteran status, presence of a non-job medical condition or disability or any other legally protected status. The Americans With Disabilities (ADA) and Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibit employment discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities. Similarly, Section 402 of the Vietnam Era Veteran's Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 eliminated barriers to employment for veterans. PACWEST Security Services is covered under these laws and complies with them. The information requested on this application would be used to determine your qualifications for the particular employment sought; however, PACWEST Security Services makes no commitment to employment.

PACWEST Security Services may request that an investigative consumer report be prepared, which may include information regarding your character, general reputation, police record, personal characteristics and mode of living. You may request that PACWEST Security Services disclose to you the nature and scope of the investigation requested by submitting a written request to Human Resources within 10 days after you complete the application. I understand that PACWEST Security Services may use and outside agency to conduct such background screenings. A conviction record will not necessarily preclude employment. Factors such as age at the time of offense, seriousness and nature of the offense and subsequent rehabilitation will be taken into account. Some regulations, however, prevent a person from serving as an employee of a financial institution who has been convicted of any criminal offense involving dishonesty or a breach of trust. By signing this document, I authorize you to communicate with all former employers, school officials, authorities and persons named as references and hereby release all individuals and entities from any damage whatsoever resulting from giving such information.

I understand and acknowledge that, if hired, my employment and compensation can be terminated with or without notice at any time, at the option of either PACWEST Security Services or myself. I further understand and acknowledge that there will be no employment agreement, expressed or implied, between PACWEST Security Services and myself for any specified period of time; that no individual has the authority to enter into any agreement contrary to the foregoing except for the President and, then only in writing.

I hereby certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the answers and information provided by me in the foregoing statements are true and correct, and that I have not knowingly withheld any information that would, if disclosed, affect my application unfavorably. I understand that the falsification, omission or misrepresentation of fact on this application (or any other accompanying or required documents) may be cause for denial of employment or immediate termination of employment if hired, regardless of when or how discovered.
