Job Description

L4 Security and Consulting Group LLC is a private security agency based in the greater Louisville, KY area, known for setting a high standard in the security industry. Owned and operated by former Kentucky law enforcement officers, L4 Security prides itself on its disciplined, trustworthy agents who protect some of the most valuable and important assets within their regions of operation. The company is dedicated to offering both armed and unarmed security services, tailored to ensure a secure, welcoming, and respectful environment for its clients. L4 operates with a strong moral compass, emphasizing integrity, professionalism, and community care. The agency is committed to supporting its employees through competitive compensation, healthcare plans, and opportunities for growth reflective of proven service and experience.

L4 Security is currently seeking reliable and compassionate full and part-time Security Officers to serve their client in Louisville. This position transcends the traditional scope of security duties by incorporating customer service and community engagement into the role. The security officers will be responsible not only for protecting property and lives but also for fostering a respectful and peaceful atmosphere. They serve as the approachable faces of security at the client’s property, accurately monitoring surroundings, preventing safety issues, and providing assistance to visitors and attendees during high-volume events and regular operations. Candidates must utilize sound judgment, excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and the ability to remain calm under pressure to maintain security and uphold client values effectively.

Successful applicants must be prepared to act diligently in preventing unauthorized access, responding to emergencies, and documenting incidents/observations meticulously. This role requires frequent interaction with client management, employees, and visitors, making effective communication a critical skill. The positions are well suited for individuals with backgrounds in law enforcement, corrections, military, fire and rescue, or emergency medical services, although private security professionals with strong records are also encourage to apply. L4 Security requires all prospective candidates to clear thorough background checks and drug screenings, with random drug screening continuing throughout employment. Starting wages range from $18 to $25 per hour, depending on contract specifics, post, and experience. This opportunity offers a meaningful career path within a respected agency that values service excellence, personal responsibility, and community well-being.
