Every time i text him i usually start it with hey, and no issue. Today i texted him with hey and he called me and said not to text him with hey and to text him with hey captain and he said it made him uncomfortable. Am i really in the wrong? This shit just pissed me off so bad I’m thinking about quitting lmao.

While in the US you guys have tacticool, we have dogs named after German dictators..

These are the kind of guards you'd want to work for your establishment. They don't just get the job done, but they do it with compassion. Sending recognition to these guards!

So i am in the process of doing the training for Intercon and the training is a week long, i am just wondering what it will be going over?

I have only been in Security for about a year so I'm still very new to everything. I'm really just trying to leave allied as of the less pay, being told with Intercon that it will pay 25 a hour/Unarmed

So, I found a homeless person in the stairways. I asked him to leave and he complied quickly, but on the way out… Out of kindness and couple of dollars to spare. I gave it to him…

Now he is back and I am annoyed. Big mistake. I want to tell him that this isn’t a fckn charity case.

I was actually shitting myself a little because he was twice my size.

On their jobs posting website it lists jobs with vague/generic descriptions such "weekend unarmed patrol", "corporate patrol overnight". Is there a way to find out the site location using the job posting ID number?

I live in a big city in California and location/distance from home would make a difference in which jobs to apply for and inquire about.

On their website it will say: Req ID 2026-_______. The blanks being several numbers specific to the site.

It was no help calling their branch office and asking.

Working the metal detector at a hospital and get a "first Amendment" guy in line complaining about what I am doing.

I am here because idiots keep shooting up schools.

Shut him the hell up.

I just sent in my unarmed security guard license application and I’m trying to get everything prepared for when I start my first job. I have a list of companies to apply to, and now I’m trying to figure out what gear I need to buy like flashlights, boots, and whatever else I might need. Or does the company provide this stuff? After paying for everything for the license, I only have a few hundred dollars left, so I can’t spend too much.

Guy seemed like he lost his cool for a second, then he got back on track. What do you guys think?

Will be quitting soon since I got a better and hire paying job offer, but they said I’ll need 8 inch CSA approved work boots that have a defined heel, and (I think) the steel toe boots garda provided match up, but I’m not sure if we’re allowed to keep them after we quit

After 10 years working for my company, and 6 years working at a specific site as an account manager we have unfortunately lost the contract to our site.

The client wanted me to stay since I worked well -
My security company boss emailed the client badmouthing me about not wanting a job offer that’s 10$ less and about me probably wanting to stay with them. (The client)

Company boss hits me with the non compete clause and says come pick up my check and get ready to hear what I can and cannot do and says “goodluck on my endeavors”

I’ve heard from higher ups in my company that they have released officers and voided their contracts/non competes

But for me, the boss is acting like a scorned ex.

I wasn’t even told with good time in advance that my contract is ending, and I have less than 2 weeks to try and get a job at my desired rate….. starting new.

This non compete bs is going to put a bind on my income so suddenly - I asked hr to email me the scans so I can review what I can work with.
Something tells me they will wait until the very last day to provide me with this

It’s such a scummy thing to do “ sign this or resign” a few years ago, and now I’m being made an example of becuase I wanted to do better for myself?

Has anyone survived non compete? Is there anything one can do to prevent this from ruining their lively hood and income?

I’ve been working at a low-income housing apartment complex for almost a year now, and I absolutely hate it. Every night I’m here, there’s always some BS that isn’t really security-related, but people expect us to handle it anyway. The cops and EMS are here multiple times a day because of fights, people pulling knives on each other and staff, and all kinds of other incidents.

This is the first post I’ve ever worked where I’ve had to learn what to do when a tenant passes away, which happens way too often. Every floor has a different weird smell, and the place is infested with cockroaches, bedbugs, fleas, and who knows what else. I feel like bugs are crawling all over me the second I walk into the building, and I’m constantly getting bitten.

Honestly, I feel like I’m being punished and forced to work here. I have 12 years of security experience and have worked at multiple sites, yet I can’t seem to land another job. I’ve had a lot of interviews lately, but nothing ever comes of them. Hell, I even tried going back to Allied Universal and applied to Securitas.

Is it possible that companies don’t want to hire me because I have so much experience? I’m willing to take a pay cut if it means getting full-time hours and getting the hell out of this shithole.

Hi security guards of London,

I'm a PhD student at UCL conducting research into how people who are familiar with London keep track of directions.

I'm looking for people aged 40+ who are familiar with London to take part in a short in-person study.

What does it involve?

• 15min of your time
• You'll be asked to point, as accurately as you can, towards 24 different locations around London.

Location: The study will take place at Russel Square.

Eligibility

• are 40+ years old
• have lived in London for at least 10 years or currently work in London
• do not hold an undergraduate degree

There's no need to have an exceptionally good sense of direction — I'm interested in people with a range of abilities and levels of familiarity with the city.

Please use the following link to schedule.

Thanks!

Just started at a Library and my seat is at the entrance. Do you greet everyone who comes in?

I was on the phone on speaker with one of the other sites on this contract and I asked where the usual 3rd shift supervisor was and the supervisor on duty said he didn't know but needed me to forward him an email. As I was forwarding him the email my guard pipes up and goes:

Him: What about tomorrow's coverage? I can't stay.

Me: I'm not talking about here I'm talking about [other site]

Him: I can't stay though...

Me: Dude I am talking about [other site] not here do you work at [other site]?

Him: no ok jesus fine I get it

Any time anyone makes a slight mention of coverage whether its here, the other 2 sites, or wherever he always loudly pipes up with 'I can't stay I have things to do!' yeah? And so do the rest of us you aren't special. We weren't talking about you ding dong...

I just wanted to vent a lil he keeps doing shit like this and getting on my nerves.

I applied for my first security position and after orientation they give me completely different hours and days. When I said no they said I might have to redo the entire process because I'm onboarding. Is this actually true?

I am a 19-year-old pretty petite woman and I’m wanting to get in a security and wondering if it is safe and what the safe jobs would be. I’m also not sure if I should get my unarmed license then contact different hotels or buildings like that or try to find a job through a big company like Allied.

Alright, I got your attention. Funny but a serious question. People talk about being in a booth all the time and iirc, dog positions. Where you’re so ran over.

I have a weird work habit where I’m basically constantly thirsty and have to pee probably every hour. I drink around 80oz of water, at work.

I’ve never had a different real job before and wonder if other jobs out there would get mad at that.
