Security Officer – Night Shift (Weekend)
Philadelphia, PA | Part-Time
Pay: $16.00/hour
Important: While this posting includes lighthearted references to local wildlife, this is a real job advertisement for an actual open position with KRE Security, LLC.
KRE Security, LLC is hiring a Part-Time Security Officer for a consistent Friday and Saturday overnight shift (10:00PM – 6:00AM). This is a permanent, non-rotating weekend schedule — ideal for dependable individuals seeking stable overnight hours.
While the site is professional and well-managed, officers must remain alert for all forms of “gang activity.” Around here, that sometimes includes organized groups of deer assembling after dark, traveling in coordinated units, and appearing in suspiciously matching earth-toned colors.
They gather.
They watch.
They move as one.
Coincidence? Probably.
Professional vigilance? Absolutely.
Schedule
Friday & Saturday | 10:00PM – 6:00AM
Consistent. Reliable. No rotating shifts.
(Unlike certain four-legged groups who seem to rotate lookouts.)
What You’ll Be Doing
- Provide a professional security presence at the assigned client site
- Patrol premises and monitor access points
- Stay alert for any suspicious activity — including organized “herd meetings” near fence lines
- Observe and report safety or security concerns
- Respond to emergencies and enforce site policies and procedures
- Complete accurate incident and daily activity reports using Belfry Software
- Example: “Group of approximately six deer congregating near Gate 3. Dispersed upon approach. Possible coordinated grazing.”
- Maintain communication with clients, supervisors, and fellow officers
- Follow all company and site-specific security protocols
Officers should be comfortable identifying:
- Coordinated loitering
- Strategic shrubbery surveillance
- Sudden synchronized fleeing
- Intense, unbroken eye contact intended to test authority
The Environment
The property is occasionally visited by:
- Deer (often operating in what appears to be structured formations)
- Foxes (independent contractors)

Bonus qualities:
