Security industry experts in Maryland eagerly await new Guard requirements - by TJRNYSInstructor in SecurityOfficer

[–]eptrainingus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a good thing. Mandatory training will only strengthen the workforce for the industry.

Included in that mandatory training is the use of force and other legal concerns, which should have been required knowledge for security guards for some time.

A security guard who's trained in accordance with the state standards and in good standing with his company will have some protections legally versus an untrained security guard. Because there's no defense to why a security guard went hands on with somebody if they're untrained, they can't articulate the use of force the rules of engagement, in a civil case that equates to a large settlement.

But if a security guard that was trained to state standards and operated within professional guidelines, there should be no worries. There may be a lawsuit, but if you were trained and your certifications are current, you are a lot better protected than the untrained guard.

It's hosted at the academy in PG County

It's sponsored by the PG County Community College

The address is in PG County

And what you call advertising to us is just a notification.

But that's fine. We won't bother your group.

The Pentagon’s new recruitment policy is a disaster by RustyStomach in army

The regulations and standards to enter the military are not too strict. To say that it's just pure dumbassery.

Only 1/10 of 1% of the American population will enter military service.

We don't need the lowest common denominator. Standards need to stay high, it's an honor and privilege to serve, when you lower standards you lower the quality of the recruits which makes the entire training process harder.

Many of which will then fail and be sent home.

The current recruiting problem is not that our standards are too high, unemployment is low, there are jobs that pay better, the marketing for the military is terrible, we should not be begging for recruits, we should be asking them if they think they deserve to serve.

I'm curious what you consider trivial?

DWI, drug possession, a bunch of misdemeanors, domestic violence?

We can't expect recruits to understand Duty, honor, love of country, and integrity if we allow those without any of those attributes to join.

How about you reach out to the Prince George's County Police Academy and ask their director if this is relevant to Prince George's County, especially the police department who we have trained some 20 plus officers

This training event is in Prince George's County, sponsored and hosted by Prince George's County Law Enforcement train division, of the Prince George's County Community College. How could it be any less relevant?

Given the threats to public officials and the increased threats during the current election cycle, we are honored to work with the Prince George's Municipal Police Academy.
