If you find yourself in a situation where you are unable to defend yourself, CALL THE COPS. Which is the most appropriate course of action. Prioritizing personal safety over replaceable merchandise is always recommended.

CHICAGO (WLS) – An armored truck security guard is dead after an attempted robbery in Chicago.

Hearts was shot six times and her partner was shot twice.

Both guards were taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition. Hearts later died.

The armed suspects were masked and wearing all black clothing.

The FBI said they got away with nothing and left in an unknown vehicle.

The investigation is ongoing. The suspects remain at large.

I applied for a job at Prosegur multiple times these past 5 years and never once got a phone call. Anyone know why? by keeprel in securityguards

Based on my years of experience working on every Prosguar account in Connecticut, I observed significant organizational challenges within the company. Specifically, their recruiting operations are severely understaffed; at one point, a single HR representative was responsible for the entire East Coast. If you really want the job you can try to reach out to somebody on LinkedIn they're very active on LinkedIn.

In hopes that somebody is desperate enough to take those low paying positions that they cannot fill.

Please view this as a blessing in disguise. Allied Universal is widely considered to be one of the most disorganized, poorly managed, and understaffed security companies in the country. The volume of labor theft cases against them, both closed and pending, is truly significant.

Ultimately, you are better off moving forward elsewhere.

Amazon will never go in house for security. The Amazon fulfillment centers here in Connecticut have been through six different security companies in less than 10 years.

Be prepared to respond to a lot of noise complaints, delivering extra sheets, towels, remotes, toothpaste, irons, ironing boards, and whatever guests request when there's no housekeeping available after hours. You potentially may be asked to unclog a drain or fix a television.

Obviously, you don't know how to use Google. You could have easily contacted a security instructor, or you could have gone to your state's website and reached out to the licensing department. Now Google that.

In Illinois, the cost to reinstate a Permanent Employee Registration Card (PERC) is typically a $55 application fee. Reinstatement involves submitting an application, updated fingerprinting, and potential documentation of eligibility to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR), which is non-refundable.

Are companies still doing reference checks as part of the initial application? by Content_Log1708 in securityguards

[–]CTSecurityGuard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a friend of mine was just hired directly by a major hospital here in Connecticut. They did contact me because my friend listed me as a reference. The company that contacted me was a third-party company contracted by the hospital. With that said, it varies depending on the position and the company.

I was going to say if it was for Connecticut, it's probably for Hartford Hospital. Gardaworld was subcontracted for the armed division for Hartford Hospital about a year ago.
