About the role
Monumental Sports & Entertainment, owner of the Washington Capitals, is hiring a full-time Special Police Officer for its security department. Officers cover Capital One Arena, where the Capitals play, and MedStar Health Performance Center.
The work is controlling entry and keeping people and property safe. Officers let in only ticketed or approved guests, keep unauthorized people out of restricted areas, patrol the buildings, check doors, windows, and gates, respond to alarms, and look into disturbances. They protect players and performers from overeager fans and can detain someone on probable cause for an offense committed in their presence.
Officers lock and unlock the buildings, inspect the security systems for tampering, and write reports on damage, theft, equipment problems, or anyone found where they should not be. The department runs around the clock every day of the year, and officers count as essential staff.
The job is 40 hours a week plus on-call shifts, with evenings, weekends, and holidays. New hires apply for a DC Special Police Officer license within five days and must hold it within two weeks. Pay is $23 to $26 an hour, and the role is eligible for health and welfare benefits.
