What does a securities adviser do?

A security advisor reviews an already existing security system and checks for errors, inconsistencies and evaluates the risk. They then advise the organization on possible solutions and develop policies and procedures that will ensure safety. They also look at new businesses and premises and advise on the best security system to use.

Petty officers with more experience are expected to provide training in basic skills to their junior petty officers. Once a petty officer is reprimanded, first-class petty officers may conduct discipline by ordering those reprimanded to do extra military instruction or extra work within the division. Petty officers are also required to meet all the requirements for surface warfare qualification.
