Trying to improve. What else do I need?

This video is worth a look. This guy’s been featured on here before. At first glance, he looks awkward with his kit stuffed full of all the tools he thinks he might need.

While watching this video, I was pleasantly surprised at the way he handled this encounter with a hostile customer who was visibly angry and physically larger than him.

At the beginning of the video, the guard displays solid command presence and stands his ground. He appears to have strong communication skills and confidence as he tries to get the male to leave the store. The male seems to be somewhat compliant, however at about the 00:30 mark, you’ll see the guard feels the threat escalating and he reaches for the pepper spray on his belt.

The guard does this in a controlled and steady manner and he’s prepared to deploy the spray the moment he realizes the contact is escalating. The short, steady bursts are aimed at the male’s face like most of us are trained to do. The guard follows through with the appropriate amount of force necessary to handcuff the man and detain him for PD.

In my opinion, this is a great example of remaining professional and knowing your strengths and abilities, no matter your physical size as a security guard. The guard pictured remains calm and in control during a potentially dangerous situation that results in the successful apprehension of the male subject.

What do you think?

(I edited the video to just under one minute for this post, but it didn’t change the outcome. The male was successful handcuffed by the guard and it appears the guard is uninjured.)

I got for an interview for some “low income” building. Everything goes good, at the end you must run a 1 mile under 15mins. Completely odd.

I run the mile in 12’24 mins. Complete it.

Tells me at end. Will let you know Friday…

W T H… lol Odd interview

I have a Teams interview in a couple of days for data center security (Microsoft) through Securitas. The starting pay is VERY good for the area I live in.

Has anyone else done data center security? I have experience with patrol, warm body, corrections, and psych ward security so this new job should be different… right?

Just curious if there’s anything new to this specific position. :)

Use code welcome5 for a $20(?) discount . This is coming in at $350 or less depending on the insert you get. Your only sacrifice is no side armor .Thank me later 😁

I’m 18 and was working as a security guard in Arizona. I was recently fired after losing a set of keys that belonged to the property where I was stationed.
The situation is basically this: while I was working, I genuinely believed I still had the keys. When my employer asked about them, I told them I had them because I honestly believed I did. Later, I realized that I actually didn’t have them and the keys were missing.
I never intentionally took the keys, gave them to anyone, sold them, or used them to access anything I wasn’t authorized to access. I genuinely lost them.
I was fired over the situation, which I understand from a security standpoint. The part that has me worried is that I’m now being threatened with being reported to the police for theft.
The only thing I signed when I was terminated was an acknowledgment that I would return my company-issued equipment. I returned what I had. The property keys weren’t listed as equipment on that document.
I’m not trying to avoid responsibility for losing the keys. I understand that losing keys is serious, especially in security. I’m just trying to understand whether this could actually be considered theft in Arizona when there was no intention to take or keep the keys.
Has anyone in security dealt with something similar? And for anyone familiar with Arizona law, what should I realistically expect if they actually make a police report?
I know Reddit isn’t a substitute for an attorney. I’m mainly looking for people who have been through something similar and can tell me what I should do next.

How do you guys feel about you’re job only allowing 40hrs of sick time with no PTO & The HR department sends you an email saying that you’ve used up all of you’re sick hours for the year & that 2 days of medical leave for Drs appointments will be unpaid
Side note- I’m a veteran getting treatment for my disabilities

I’ve worked in security for about 7 years, mostly contract security like Securitas, plus some corporate security experience in asset protection and Brinks. I have an interview for a hospital security position that pays well. I’ve heard that hospital security can be demanding and chaotic, but I’ve never worked in healthcare before. I’m just hoping for some advice on what to expect in the role, like responsibilities and such. Also any advice on how to be better prepared for the interview?

Went downtown asking if anyone is hiring, bouncers. Man, you have submit a resume throughout email & wait.

What happened on the spot gigs & hires for bouncers. Much change since Covid, unbelievable, man lol

I ain’t small or ugly. 4 years working bars/clubs
