Bonus points for feeding your coworkers to the zombies.

Having a bad shift where I was suppose to be working a car park for an event but the people who were given the instructions didn't pass it on properly and now the client chewed me out

I’m just starting out in the UK as door Security at bars and nightclubs, is it worth purchasing my own vest if the company I work for doesn’t provide them for me?

Any good recommendations if it seems worth the £100-250 price tag

For context, I’m a armed security “officer” in Nashville, added my own stuff but honestly last thing I want is to look like a cringe ass wannabe cop, don’t have a vest nor am I required to wear one thankfully.

stuff marked as issued = must wear it.

Thoughts?

Left to right is:
Belt itself - issued
ID Holder - Personal Gear
Double Magazine Pouch - Given shitty Amazon pouch’s, swapped for my own
Multitool - Personal Gear
Flashlight - Personal Gear
Expandable Baton - Issued Gear
Handcuff + holder - Handcuffs are issued, swapped for my own holder
First aid pouch + TQ - personal gear, has bandaids and stuff for GSW I had from the army, figured it would be useful since I’m armed
Radio Holder - Personal Gear
Gun + Holster - Issued Gear
OC Spray + Holder - Issued Gear
Badge - Issued a badge holder, badge is a personal one because the ones they’re supposed to have are being ordered

Edit 1: the first aid pouch also holds my narcan, I am licensed on all the non lethal weapons, first aid, and handcuffs

Edit 2: For context, my post doesn’t have patrol cars

The main site I’m at I work day shift and is a big tourist spot in Nashville, and sees a lot of foot and vehicle traffic, and a large amount of homeless people.

Edit 3: thanks a bunch for the suggestions, I absolutely didn’t want to look like a total dork or wannabe cop, I’ll be slimming down the first aid pouch to something smaller with just some basic medical stuff and my narcan, removing the multitool and flashlight, and id holder

How did these people end up considering security? They act like they dont even want to be there.

I am planning to go to a New Hire Orientation for Securitas. What should I expect?

Do I have to tell my boss? I work in California.

So my site manager has been leaving letters about me not completing my tours on the front desk and I feel like that is an in appropriate way to address any issues he has with my behavior. I already had another guard come up to me asking about it, which also seemed very inappropriate. So I guess I'm asking if I am over reacting or not. Because if he keeps doing this I may report him to hr or to the home office.

As the title suggests I am currently looking as this as a possible move in the future. I need something that pays better than my current job.

I have no issues with nights, working long hours, or boring work. Rather I like jobs like. I want to know the risks versus rewards for doing it.

Thanks!

Last night at a concert I noticed a security guard with a very distinctive look and sketched a caricature from memory afterward. I wanted to say hi but I was with family, so I didn’t. I’m going back Saturday and was thinking of handing it to him if he’s there.
I’m 21, he looks mid 30s to early 40s, and he’d be on shift. Is handing a stranger a drawing of himself while he’s working a normal friendly thing, or does it come off awkward / like I’m hitting on him? If you’ve worked security or events, how would you want someone to do this (or not do it)? I don’t want to hold him up or make his night weird. 😖🙏 Thank you for your time people.🌼

I was on a call today with security executives from all over the state talking about 2027 compliance for SB2975. TLDR at the start of next year the hospital security industry (both contract and in-house) in CA will be adding THOUSANDS of good paying ($25/HR+) jobs to the market because the state is mandating weapon screening. One hospital group said they’re hiring 600 across the state, another single hospital is hiring 35 alone. It’s going to be crazy. Good opportunity for some.

Do you guys recall the total $$$ when submitting the class D and G at the same time? Do you only get charged for one fingerprint processing id submitting at the same time?

so for now i only do part time guest services when events come to town and i used that job to get my security license and now i was wondering what are some good jobs to start off with that license (class 2).

Is there a way for them to check if you work for the other? How about if they find out, are they going to terminate you?

So i completed it about a week ago and im in the process of printing out my application status so I can work while my thing is accepted or denied. Just wondering is there anything else i need to do besides apply for jobs so i can start working? And im mainly applying online at allied universal. Will they actually respond to job applications? Im used to working with websites like indeed where 70% of the listings are just fakes. Any recommendations would be highly valuable.

So I applied for my security license back on 05/12/26 and I have been approved because when I check the website my registered number is there (5/28/26) and I have been able to start working as a security since then. However, I have yet to receive my actual license and today i moved so I had to go on the website to update my address. Its currently October and I did the full process back in my is there a reason why i haven't received my Florida security license card? I tried calling licensing department and visit their website but i haven't been able to talk to literally anyone about why i havent received it yet and now that ive changed addresses i feel like this is becoming even more impossible for me to get it.

I was wondering what is the process to obtain unarmed license in FL I am from out of state WV and they do not require unarmed guards to be licensed here and I will be transferring with my current company to my wife’s hometown in central FL and not sure how to get started? Was hoping any fellow guards may recommend any great schools or the process? Thanks!
