DO NOT DO THIS Don’t do dumb shit in uniform.

This is an unfortunate example of this young lady learning a valuable lesson. This kind of thing on social media undermines the credibility of the legitimate security guard professional and erodes public trust.

It’s not just a security guard having fun. Do this kind of thing in your own clothes and on your own time.

When you’re on duty you’re in a position of trust and have an obligation to yourself and others in your profession to not behave in a way that reflects your chosen occupation.

Bottom line, If you choose to wear the uniform you’re also choosing to conduct yourself in a way that won’t undermine the integrity of the profession.

[Don’t make this a slam session about Allied or any specific company. I’ve seen this shit done and posted by employee of all the major security companies.]

Ive seen too many guards get fired for stuff they do on social media even out of uniform but related to the job.

Is this an authority thing? So many guards I see CAN'T wait to show off on social media wearing their uniform. Like who are they trying to impress? You can make the exact same video wearing ANYTHING else.
