DK Security is seeking qualified applicants for a part-time Armed School Security Officer assignment in Jackson County.

This is an hourly employee position paid biweekly. The current pay rate for the school assignment is $27.23 per hour. This rate is established by DK Security’s contractual arrangement with the client and cannot be negotiated with applicants. Pay rates at other DK Security locations may vary based on the applicable client contract.

The school assignment operates during the school year and pauses during summer break. During periods when the school assignment is paused, work at other DK Security locations may remain available.

Employees who do not wish to work during a school break may request a personal leave of absence, subject to management approval.
