MISSION
The Security and Parking Operations’ mission is to vigorously protect El Paso County assets (facilities, people, information, and physical assets) and provide professional parking services.
To accomplish our mission and to provide the most efficient and effective services possible, the department is divided into three major sections:
|
PROTECTIVE SERVICES
Security officers protect people (elected officials, employees, and visitors to County buildings) and County assets (building infrastructure, equipment, vehicles, information, and other property). Officers also provide escorts, handle access control screening, conduct mail inspections, and perform a variety of patrol assignments. |
|
|
|
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
Security analysts conduct risk assessments, evaluate physical protection systems, inspect security and fire systems, conduct investigations, manage the emergency response and evacuation plan, manage the mechanical lock and electronic access control systems, and provide security training. |
|
PARKING SERVICES
Parking attendants and staff manage the operation of the County owned parking lots and garages, which includes the equitable allocation of parking spaces, collection and accounting of parking revenue, and the reasonable enforcement of parking regulations. |
|
