What should happen if a PSO is required to switch duties according to amended Post Orders?

When a Protective Security Officer (PSO) is required to switch duties according to amended Post Orders, the correct action is to consult with the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) before executing those changes. This is crucial because the COR is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the contract and ensuring that all operations comply with the established guidelines and directives.

Consulting with the COR allows for a proper review of the amended Post Orders, ensuring that the changes are valid, necessary, and implemented correctly. This step is essential for maintaining operational protocols, responding to potential safety concerns, and ensuring that all personnel involved are informed of the changes and their implications. It also helps in preventing miscommunication or misunderstandings about operational duties that could arise if changes are made haphazardly.

Such consultation aligns with professional standards, emphasizing the importance of maintaining command structure and ensuring that all actions taken are sanctioned and supported by the appropriate authority. Thus, this step is critical in safeguarding the effectiveness and integrity of security operations.
