Security Monitor Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, As a Security Monitor with hands-on experience across CCTV surveillance and alarm systems, I’ve steadied my focus on preventing incidents before they escalate. In my last role I helped keep an eye on a site with 24/7 monitoring and a complex alarm network, where I tracked irregularities across multiple zones and coordinated with supervisors to coordinate a rapid response. The work often comes down to clear communication and calm decision making, especially when the radios crackle and every second counts. I’m drawn to [Company Name] because the role aligns with my experience in hazard identification, fire safety awareness, and incident reporting. I’m comfortable with emergency communication protocols, liaising with authorities, and using radio or phone to alert the right people. I also understand the value of reporting trends and maintaining log accuracy to support ongoing risk management and compliance. One concrete example from my time with [Previous Company] involved detecting a suspicious leak in a plant area and a small fire risk near storage. I mobilised the team, alerted the fire response unit, and documented the incident in the log with timings and actions. The prompt response helped prevent damage and the site implemented a revised patrol route that significantly reduced exposure to similar hazards. I’m available for a chat about how I can contribute to your team at [Company Name]. I can start with weekends or shift rotations and am ready to discuss how my background fits your security goals. Kind regards, [Your Name]
