A Grady officer must possess a variety of skills to be successful. Keen observational skills are necessary because you are constantly looking out for anything that is amiss, which may include unauthorized vehicles, people moving through restricted areas, patients who seem lost, or broken security cameras. Customer service is also very important because you are a visible and valuable member of the hospital staff and sometimes the first person a patient or visitor encounters. You need to be courteous and happy to direct people to where they need to go.
