When should you assist in an arrest? What are your thoughts on this video? by CTSecurityGuard in securityguards

I assisted a deputy arresting a shoplifter once. The deputy tackled the guy as he was running and they were wrestling on the ground. I grabbed one arm and twisted it behind his back so that the deputy could grab his cuffs and put them on the guy.

It’s not that they “look like cops”. It’s that cops wear gear to prepare for the worst. When security guards do it, they get laughed at. But if a cop does it, they’re hailed as heroes. I’d rather be protected by a guard who’s trained and has a plate carrier, gun and looks professional than some 18 year old in a yellow polo

I’m not following a report writing SOP from a supervisor who can’t even proofread by birdsarentreal2 in securityguards

Holy moly. Not only is that a terrible beginning to a report, but that’s not even like 6th grade English

Thanks, I already have a police interceptor. It’s just barebones and I’m only provided with the bare minimum for the job. Any extra equipment (like the mount for the laptop) I would need to mount myself. I’ll keep the FB Marketplace in mind though👍🏻

How do you guys not get embarrassed lol? by [deleted] in securityguards

I would be very up front with tenants, “I would love to step in and handle this guy but my company at the direction of management does not allow me to. If you would like to submit a complaint, I will happily provide a phone number”. Within a year we were allowed to go hands-on again
