People often assume that security is just about “keeping on guard,” but the reality is far more complex. At Jurong Port’s Security Department (JPSD), Assistant Manager Suresh S/O Mariappan has witnessed firsthand how time and technology have transformed the role of security personnel. Today, the team is not just made up of guards—they are a dynamic, agile unit prepared to tackle evolving security challenges to keep the port safe and secure.
One of the key aspects of Suresh’s responsibilities is preparing for real-life security scenarios. At JPSD, quarterly drills and exercises are conducted to sharpen operational readiness. As the landscape of physical security threats continues to evolve, so do the challenges faced by the team. Staying ahead means constantly updating security technology, remaining adaptable, and embracing new methods to enhance safety.
For Suresh, this role is more than just a job—it’s a calling. The unpredictable nature of the work keeps him engaged, with each day presenting something new. It’s the excitement, adrenaline, and strong sense of teamwork that drive him and his colleagues forward. With a mindset of continuous improvement, the JPSD team remains committed to keeping Jurong Port secure for everyone.
