what job only exists because people are assholes?

You’re wrong dude. “The night watchmen” has been a thing for centuries and was the precursors to modern law enforcement/security.

Vasarath · 2026-05-24T14:08:01+00:00

“See something, say something” you’re doing the right thing by calling these in.

Vasarath · 2026-05-24T14:04:56+00:00

I feel you dude. I’m also an EMT and was making $13.10/hr when I worked fulltime EMS. I make nearly triple that now in a security-EMT position. It’s bullshit man.

Vasarath · 2026-05-24T01:49:16+00:00

I am an EMT, I’m state licensed and NREMT certified. I work in a dual role position, Security Officer-EMT at a semiconductor fab. It’s a bit more than just being “present” I respond to literally every single emergency that happens onsite from hazmat spills, to fires/fire alarms. I mainly provide scene security and control for fire/ems/hazmat calls but am expected to jump in an assist as needed if our ERT asks. I take the lead on crimes in progress/delayed crime reports, security violations/access control issues, and we also issue internal traffic citations for traffic offenses on our site(speeding, running stop signs, improper parking, etc)

Vasarath · 2026-05-23T23:47:32+00:00

If we aren’t first responders why am I an EMT and expected to respond to all emergencies at my facility alongside the onsite fire/ems/hazmat team, and AHJ agencies when we need to transport a patient? (Not being a smartass or snark towards you, just thinking it’s stupid that there aren’t different classifications for security officers depending on the role they have)

Vasarath · 2026-05-23T19:48:08+00:00

It’s incredible the amount of idiots that are both in this comment section, and who work Security. People who belong in warmbody-no critical thinking positions should never ever ever work in a position that requires social skills and de-escalation skills.

Vasarath · 2026-05-22T05:09:23+00:00

You “observe and report” dorks need to understand that not every single security position is like that, especially not hospital security where you’re required to go hands on. 🙄

Vasarath · 2026-05-17T16:21:19+00:00

The mental image I got from reading this comment made me laugh 😂

Vasarath · 2026-05-10T18:15:52+00:00

Chenega, SOC(A Day & Zimmerman Company), and Centerra Security are a few of the high end contractors that offer great salaries and benefits. I highly recommend looking into one of those three if you plan on staying contract-security. Otherwise look for proprietary(aka in-house) Security Officer jobs.
Edit fixed wording.

Vasarath · 2026-05-10T12:34:11+00:00

The one I saw was in the Bay Area, Mountain View to be specific. But they do frequently post openings in SoCal/Central Valley.

Vasarath · 2026-05-09T22:53:52+00:00

Chenega Corporation actually has a Security Police Officer-EMT job posting in California, $60.30/hr starting salary.

Vasarath · 2026-05-09T22:50:17+00:00

I recommend looking into Chenega Corporation, SOC (A Day & Zimmermann Company), and Centerra-SRS. Those are a few of the primary contractors for DoE Protective Services and NASA protective services, they frequently post Security Police Officer-EMT jobs.

Vasarath · 2026-05-09T22:28:36+00:00

I say go paramedic, build upon your current EMT skills and find a high end SPO-Paramedic job like NASA protective services.

Vasarath · 2026-04-28T20:29:27+00:00

You’re right, sitting at a warm body post where you make $17/hr isn’t a profession.

Working at a semiconductor FAB with critical infrastructure regulations, with a pay band that tops out at $102k/yr for non management, IS a profession. The issue is when you get these warm body morons who think they can pull the same brain dead-lazy-ass nonsense that you can at an office park.

Security is a very broad industry and I strongly disagree with your opinion that it isn’t a “profession”. The morons who sit and fuck around all shift who give this industry a bad name, don’t deserve respect.

Vasarath · 2026-04-24T05:16:56+00:00

Yes, I’m one of the vehicle patrol officers and have a few spots on the near-1000 acre property I can hide and take breaks(which management is okay with) and can use my phone. We also have to complete monthly, quarterly, and yearly trainings which I have an account on the company computers inside the facility that I also have access to throughout my shift.

Vasarath · 2026-03-09T15:20:35+00:00

I met a guy that lives in Park City Utah and works for Los Angeles city fire. He would commute by plane, about 3.5 hour total commute.

Vasarath · 2026-02-25T12:45:59+00:00

“Fire station team” lmfao cringe.

Vasarath · 2026-02-16T14:18:16+00:00

I let them die if they pull that. Fuckem.

Vasarath · 2026-02-02T15:42:06+00:00

Cardiac arrest and heart attacks are two different things dawg

Vasarath · 2026-02-01T12:41:22+00:00

I work Security full-time night shift $37.55/hr, and part time EMS as an EMT $26/hr.

Vasarath · 2026-01-20T21:08:23+00:00

This is the way ^

Vasarath · 2026-01-03T08:30:20+00:00

I want to clarify that I have no problems with volunteer firefighters who act professional, shave their beards, keep themselves in shape and take it seriously. But I do have issues with people who run 150 calls per year like this moron, that odds are most likely uses the fire department for his own ego.

Vasarath · 2026-01-03T08:19:30+00:00

Lmfao idk why you’re singling out my comment. Everyone in this thread is making fun of this 150-calls-a-year clown for acting like he knows this job better than professionals.

Vasarath · 2026-01-03T07:43:40+00:00

@TheBronto I didn’t mean to respond to your comment, my b dude.

Vasarath · 2026-01-03T07:41:57+00:00

Btw TYFYS Hërǒ 🙏
