In this scenario, as a Security Officer at Boyd Gaming Corporation, I would approach the guest calmly and professionally, checking their identification to confirm their age. If they are indeed underage, I would explain the policy clearly, ensuring they understand it is for their safety and the safety of others. I would then escort them gently off the casino floor and into a safe area if needed, documenting the interaction as per company policy.

Effective communication is key in the role of a Security Officer. I prioritize active listening, ensuring I fully understand concerns or questions posed by guests and colleagues. I make it a point to maintain a friendly demeanor and clarity in my verbal and written communications.

Familiar with tracking potential breaches and monitoring activities in real-time, I understand the importance of technology in maintaining security and safety in environments like those at Boyd Gaming Corporation.

If I noticed a safety hazard, my immediate response would be to assess the situation and report it to my supervisor or the relevant department. I would prioritize the safety of guests and employees by managing crowds around the hazard and implementing temporary measures, if possible, until a permanent solution is enacted. Documentation of the incident is also important for follow-up and tracking.

Handling stress in a fast-paced environment comes down to self-awareness and effective techniques. I prioritize taking deep breaths to remain calm and collected, even amid chaos.
