Access control officers decide who can enter a building or area and keep a record of visitors.
They check identification, issue visitor badges, monitor cameras and alarms, and help guests and employees in a professional way.
Pin Tip
Require every visitor to sign in and wear a badge. It makes unauthorized people stand out.
First Impressions
Front desk officers are often the first person visitors meet, so professionalism and customer service matter.
