Ontel Security Services, Inc. started on July 1, 2006 and has been providing security to various Central Valley communities ever since. Ontel is an equal opportunity employer, encourages diversity, and treats the employees with respect. All of Ontel’s patrol officers and operations leadership started out at standing or patrol posts. There is room to grow at Ontel if an officer is patient and consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic.

Employment status with Ontel is “on call.” Although hours are not guaranteed, we strive to get officers working quickly and as long as possible. Many of our officers have been with Ontel for several years, so we must be doing things right.

Our employees benefit from the Ontel difference:

• Ontel has never missed a pay check on pay day. If an officer turns in a time card, the officer gets paid, period.
• We’re local; sites are in Stanislaus, Merced or San Joaquin counties. We don’t make an officer commute to the Bay Area one day, then Sacramento the next.
• We equip our officers with Ontel radios, and they are taught proper radio use. Our Supervisors also do regular post checks, to see if the officer is knowledgeable and prepared for their onsite duties; an officer is not put in the field and forgotten.
• Supervisors and leadership are accessible. Ontel is not a call center that never returns an officer’s call.
• We provide all forms needed to do the job. If an officer needs more DARs, timecards, SIR forms, etc., they come to the office and stock up.
• Ontel issues a standard uniform, however officers may choose to purchase additional items (more shirts, raincoats, jackets, etc.) at our cost. No mark-ups.
• Our officers receive a discount with a BSIS accredited on-line school for the 40 hours of new officer training, as well as the annual 8 hours of Continuous Education Units (CEUs).
• We offer health care, vision, and dental insurance to qualifying officers.
• Several times a year, during business hours at the Ontel office, representatives from different agencies come by to offer our officers:
• LegalShield legal assistance
• AFLAC supplemental insurance
• Retirement planning
• – And the list is growing…

• Must have a current, valid BSIS approved California Guard Card

Veteran Status Note

STATE LICENSE REQUIREMENTS

We all know that everyone needs to start somewhere. All Ontel Security Services, Inc. officers must be licensed by the California Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau of Security & Investigative Services. This license requires clearance from the Department of Justice and the F.B.I. Once an applicant’s fingerprints have been cleared by these governmental agencies, the officer will be issued a Guard Card Registration and are then cleared to work as a Security Officer within the State of California. This is the basic requirement an individual must possess in order to work in the security industry.

APPLICANT SCREENING

At Ontel Security Services, Inc., we look for people who have a drive for learning and want to grow with us.

All applicants are re-screened by an Ontel Security Services Background Investigator prior to an Offer of Employment. We re-check criminal records at the local law enforcement, State and Federal levels. Due to this internal policy, nearly 50% of the applications we receive are disqualified. Ontel Security Services requests references, a clean driving record, and no negative departures with previous employers. If you can meet the minimums, we can schedule an interview.

In our rank and file are former Police Officers, current Reserve Police Officers, Police Explorers & Cadets, Park Rangers, Federal Officers, and even former Secret Service Agents. This broad range of experience is what sets Ontel Security, Inc. above the rest. Our training runs as deep as F.E.M.A. (The Federal Emergency Management Agency), C.D.T. (Compliant Defense Tactics), and even Homeland Security Defense.

Officers who carry Chemical Agents, Baton/ASP, or Firearms must have additional permits and credentials physically in their possession that license them to do so. If an applicant holds a valid Firearm Permit, they will be required to re-certify/re-qualify their firearm 4 times per, as opposed to the twice per year requirement imposed by the State of California.
