Explanation:
No es una respuesta pero encontré algo que te pueda ayudar para establecer la diferencia entre 'security' y 'courtesy' officers.

"Security Officers

Many apartments and other multifamily properties utilize security officers, either their own employees or contract guard company officers. In recent years some property managers, believing they were reducing their potential legal liability, have started using what they call “courtesy officers.” These are frequently off–duty police to whom management provides free housing on the property in return for “assistance.” Unfortunately, the courts tend to view these individuals for who they are—people performing security duties but called “courtesy officers” ... and liability to the owners or management isn’t reduced.

While many courtesy officers provide excellent service for their properties, others may actually increase liability. Police officers often have little control over their schedules and may be working days this month, and nights next month. Their presence on the property at any given time, or even on any given day, is not ensured. As a result, security coverage and any deterrence created by their presence is reduced, and residents who think they are being protected are misled. If it is worth spending the money on security, in whatever form, it is worth doing it right and ensuring security officer coverage against the known or reasonably foreseeable risks."

portero


Explanation:
Yo creo que sea un término bien educado para "portero", un sinónimo de "doorman", "doorkeeper", o "usher". Eso fue lo que concluí después de consultar los pocos ejemplos que encontré en Google para "courtesy officers".
