Describe a working day for a mobile supervisor ...

The mobile supervisor is present at the base, a quarter of an hour before starting duty. Time for him to take the instructions for the day.

What is the difference between day and night service?

I am not making a real difference. But it must be said that the daytime service seems easier given that the environment is conducive and travel easier. Usually the difficulties are encountered by new elements who for the most part experience working at night. They are in the throes of change, especially sleep because you have to be able to manage to be effective. This is where a new agent is always assigned an old one. The job remains the same whether we are day or night.

The mobile supervisor is also a stakeholder. There is no particular difficulty, but any security guard may be faced with a situation on their site or even in the field.

Some colleagues have been confronted with real situations where there were armed bandits who ambushed them into which they fell.

How to reconcile family life and work?

It is not easy. I take the case of a supervisor who works at night. He's already not sleeping at home, so he's away from his family. For my part, it must be said that I don't really have a problem. With my wife, we have already planned everything so that my absences are not in themselves a problem. Since our beginnings, we have defined the basics. It must be said that professional life generally takes the upper hand. But you have to make the effort to get there.
