Our Accomplishments serving in Security for the past year January 2010 thru January 2011

I decided to put a summary of this past years accomplishments while on our mission in
Security. This shows that we do work and not out sightseeing.

SECURITY DEPARTMENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 2010.

We interviewed Security agencies to be placed at the Cebu Temple. Centurion Security Agency was hired to help with our security at the Cebu Temple. Moved three of our Manila officers to be OIC’s in Cebu. Interviewed and hired a Church Member to be an OIC in Cebu, Francisco Dolino, was hired.– April 2010

Prepared for Dedication and the arrival of President Monson at the airport. Met with the police to have an escort to and from the airport for President Monson. February through June 2010
Worked with airport on VIP entry of cars on the tarmac at the airport for the arrival of President Monson and general authorities at the Cebu airport . February through June 2010
Worked with Cultural Event committee in Cebu for Security. February through June 2010
Programmed the cell phones for the brethren and security for their use at the dedication and acted as support to Church Security surrounding President Monson. February through June 2010.

Strengthened the relationship between Security and the Temple department at the Manila Temple by meeting several times to resolve issues that caused contention. Changes were agreed upon and implemented in the Security manual. February 2010, ongoing. Endeavored to strengthen relationships so that we could be of one heart and mind regarding the Security of the Temple.

Updated the Security Manual for Manila Temple Complex. June 2010

Wrote the Security Manual for the Cebu Temple Complex. June 2010

Worked with Facilities Management to clean up the guard house on Area Office side of the complex. Facilities Management repaired the Guard House at the PBO site. Temple repainted the guard house across the street. There remains a few items needed to be repaired. June through August 2010.

Updated the Monitor in the Security office by working with Ed Mendoza in Facilities Management. Monitor in place.

Security did investigations on theft in the office. April through June 2010. We made adjustments to security to better control the premises by having the building clear and locked by 10 pm.

Put better control on parking at the complex by patrolling the parking lot, putting into place rules for who can park and where. Having the guards give out parking passes to visitors and put into place where employees can park. Citations given to those who did not abide by the rules. Repeating offenders will be issued citations and be put into their files. It took a couple of months to get all employees to understand the parking issues but at this writing, January 2011, it is now quite effective.

The morale of the security staff has improved. Security staff officers and guards were given assignments according to their expertise and education to enhance the security of the Temple and area office complex. The participation of the security staff with their expertise and knowledge helped to raise the self image of each officer and guard. By so doing the security department has been a recognized as a valuable part of our Area Office and a trusted part of our church employees. The Security Staff has expressed their satisfaction in working in security by being trusted.

We are working with the Jubilee Celebration committee for the Jubilee Celebration this coming April 2011. September 2010 on going.

WORKING DILIGENTLY on the specifications and implementation of the CCTV Cameras and proximity card readers’ hardware and software for the MTC expansion. THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT. September 2010 ongoing.

Security department updated security regulations at the MTC - October 2010.
Audited the Proximity cards for the Area Office. Had many returned proximity cards from former employees and from employees who do not come here to the MPAO often enough to warrant having a proximity card to the office.

We have responded to security issues on missionary apartments by visiting the areas of break-ins and possible crimes requested by Mission Presidents and with the approval of Salt Lake Church Security department and the Director of Temporal Affairs. October- November 2010 and continuing.
