Deede Lord Dumka

As a seasoned Case Officer and Security Manager with over 2 decades of cumulative experience in the security sector, with relevant professional expertise in security management and operations, crime detection, prevention, and investigation, I possess a strong background in security protocols, risk assessment, and emergency response planning. My expertise spans security operations, including crime scene investigation, security enforcement, and surveillance, with proficiency in tools like MS Excel for CDR analysis, and CCTV operations. Throughout my career at the Department of State Services, I have demonstrated leadership skills, mentoring security personnel and developing training plans to enhance their competencies.

I have successfully applied my skills and knowledge in security operations, leveraging certifications in Certified Chief Security Officer (CCSO), Security Management, Criminal Investigation and Intelligence; Intelligence, Security and Disaster Management; Corporate Fraud Investigation, Money Laundering and Terror Financing; Call Data Record (CDR) Analysis, Preventing and Countering Smuggling of Migrants and Child Trafficking, and data analysis. I am confident that my skills and experience align with hardcore security roles to contribute to security operations.
