@@joie8465 that’s any company, dude. You’re replaceable, some places are just nicer to you than others. I’d certainly say it’s better to be a robot that’s treated kindly, than to be a jobless shmuck with nothing going on. Security is usually easy work, and you hardly have to actually get physical or have shootouts like you see in the movies. Not every guard is a Paul Blart, but some of them certainly are.
As a college student who works security.......I'll say this......Look into working a flex position.....I work for a company on a Flex position (part time position, on an on-call basis, If somebody calls off on a prop. I go in to fill in) The flex position usually is fit around your hours but don't count on that......It pays fine & gives me the freedom to work two jobs
Jacob_ Howell_2112 How do you balance both college and being security guard ? I'm a security guard for a trucking ship yard and I'm going into community college in August.
DeaditeTheParasite its a legit pain in the ass but I manage it.....the flex position is an on call job which means I only go in if somebody calls off....which gives me the freedom to work at another job.....its bassicly all about schedules & planning to be honest
DeaditeTheParasite I'm working full time for G4S and still able to go to college... I got my AA while working full time..you can do .I'm still taking classes.
its easy, be 18, apply, get an interview, get a job, company will usually help you get a license. done...be prepared to work every single holiday and fill in ALOT. Security has a very high turnover rate.
You have to be a Level 2 Security Guard before you can become a Level 3 Security Officer with an Armed Commission you also have to spend $300 to go through the Academy.
In my experience armed security is all about the client and the public . you are still a civilian and you are only a extension of the property owner . don't think that wen you are wearing that badge your a police officer
Joker on patrol ! Sadly, I had to point that very fact out to both the local Police and the company higher ups i guard. And I’m not even armed, I’m unarmed and some of what both parties have told me to do could very likely get me an assault charge... and both get just as irritable when I tell them I’m not a cop, I’m there as a visible deterrent and basically a first responder. I can’t manhandle someone just to get them out of the store, I can’t tell someone they are not allowed to speak, etc... I can call the cops, and the cops can do what they do. I mean security isn’t a complicated job, I’m there to make sure everyone is safe and protected. As per armed security that doesn’t really change, and I’d assume the rules of engagement for them would likely be the same as I had in Afghanistan while I was in the Marines, basically they had to shoot at me first before I could even think of shooting them. The gun is a tool that is just in case, one of those “pray I don’t have to use it, be ready if I do have to use it, and only use it when it is the only option left to me.”... but maybe I’m wrong about that.
Where i live, security officers are regulated thru the state and have the exact same arrest powers as a sheriffs deputy on the property they are contracted to protect...
Be careful with that. "sheriff's deputies" very often do not have the same arrest powers as police and are limited to arrests only for crimes committed in their presence.... Same as citizen's arrest.
@@freefieldtraining you lost me there...maybe you thought i meant doing an investigation into a previously committed crime? No thats not what i meant. I thought it would be common sense that i meant only crimes committed in front of the security officer. Also i didnt know there was a difference in arrest powers for a sheriffs dep, and a police officer. Could you please give me a brief difference?
I have been a contract security officer for over 30 years. I would rather slam my arm in a car door than have to work another officer. Why because of the five companies I have worked for there only requirement was breathing. As for clients, I have seen many that were outright a**holes. They will verbally abuse you because you can't do anything about it. They are God. They pay the bills. Anything they want.....OK.
Free field training can you do videos of how to put on handcuffs, how to search someone, handling large groups of people, tour of a squad car, best time to work an officer (day or night), and demonstrations of things police officers do instead of only talking about them. Keep up the good work
+Ethan Gasee it is hard to do those things because I cannot film at work, at least not yet. As I get opportunities I take them to do the things people want to see. I am working on some handcuffing stuff.
I’ve been in the industry for over 23 years myself. I’ve worked the graveyard shifts and I’ve worked for contract security companies. Currently I own my own business and work part time at a local University/ Medical Center as a Public Safety Officer. For part time I’m making just over $37,000. We are also Union with sworn and noon sworn officers and some of us are armed. We are employed by the university. In my experience, in house agencies are the way to go for the most part.
I agree. I'm a US Army MP, four years. I've done armed & unarmed posts since 1993. I agree, a private or security dept-div is ideal. Private or public sector. Larger places or firms that use contract security tend to get a us vs them attitude. Or they set guards up for failure or avoid helping them because they are not "company employees". In a section or dept too, you can make transfers or get new careers within the same business.
After about 5 plus years security really ruins your soul i literally worked all 3 shifts in 1 week i seen overdoses stabbings alot of violent stuff already now i just shrug it off.
So in the netherlands it is a bit diffrent. You first have to study for a bit, then pass a few tests. After that you can start working an internship and after that some more practical tests. There is a study that takes the students around 2 years full-time. Besides that you need to have a clean record and be a minimum of 18 years. The ministery of justice and security/safety has to approve uniforms for companys. There always has to be a V- symbol on the uniform.
Best video yet brother. I start working for a security contractor based out of Detroit in September. Maybe I'll run into you and Mr. Huscher some day, really appreciated the wise and motivating words.
Had an interview, and I noticed so many red flags. The manager bad mouthed all the other security companies. They wanted me to performing cleaning and maintenance if client saw fit even though we shouldn't even do that. On top of that complicated site orders. WTF
MG I'm at the so called biggest company and they didn't bad mouth smaller companies. They realize other companies do other roles and SOs often transfer around. They said nobody will cry if I want to change companies and come back later.
Great video, would love to see more of this type of thing. I am currently working security, Asset Protection at this time pursuing my degree looking to get into law enforcement. Love your channel and content man. Keep up the great work!
Hey guys, when using acronyms or abbreviations in a discussion, ALWAYS remember - each time an acronym is used, be sure to inform the audience what it stands for, but, ONLY the first time a different acronym is mentioned.
I wore the uniform provided to me which was polo with logo, tac pants and boots. Place I worked for (state) said I looked too much like a cop. Apparently I was just supposed to wear jeans and shoes.
Ben Cunningham i work for the state as a security officer too.. they should not be telling u such things about the company uniform, if they have a problem they should talk with the site manager... i find there is a lot of drama with state workers too.
dave f yup, I get they see us as scabs at the facility I worked at but to critique every little thing was just plain annoying. most weren't too bad but a couple of them were. They definitely liked to pull the "I'm a stay employee" card a lot.
Free field training, I've been doing entry lv security for a few months with the plan to get into law enforcement. I used to be a supervisor for a big industrial outfit, so this security work is too simple. I want this line of work to expect more of me. So, should I move around to better companies? If I stay with the company I'm with now, I I have a possibility to work a site and gain a security clearance but I don't know if it's even worth it. I've talked to my local LE and they have told me to get into armed security, then into the department of corrections for a good way in. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?
What about security police officers? You know the security that has the same authorities as an actual police officer only on the premises of whichever business their patrolling?
Depending on the state, contract, and policy they run the gambit. We have Private railroad and private college police here and those are awesome gigs, but legal authority doesn't usually translate into actual work. The smart ones know the good deal they have and act accordingly. I have a whole video on it here: ruclips.net/video/QCd1TmIq53U/видео.html
San Francisco CA had "police specials". 🚔🚓👮🏻♀️🕵🏿♂️. Theyd be paid by local merchants, property owners 🏘🏦🏫🏭. In 2019, the SFPD union & city groups complained so the special officers are now down to 10 or so, from 300. 🙄. Virginia has "special conservators of the peace".

G officers must re qualify once a year; 9mm, .40, .45acp, .380acp. Florida allows plain clothes EP or bodyguards but they must be approved by the client, post orders.
Hi I eventually want to go into pmc work. Where do I need to go and talk to to start. My first step. I have no legal problems was a 11b 173 503 infantry regiment. I live in Texas. North Dallas. Thank you Ps I don’t mind working as a mall cop but I’m eventually want to work my way up to armed security guard. I am willing to travel to places such as South Africa Middle East again.
I work for airport security and they very pessimistic about what is happening. I want strive in my industry but at the same time I have the neglect of my supervisor and management, what do I do?
Security is just nothing but profit, the guard gets scraps while the company makes thousands if not millions off of you its a game and you have to know how to play it.
I want nothing more than to be an armed guard with a high profile site if employment...however my tattoos get in way Everytime. I grown tired of hearing"well if you didn't have tattoos I would hire you in a second". It's frustrating.
+BIGDADDY MIKE I never understood why tats are such a big thing to people. I work with cops that have full sleeves and tats on their hands and neck. It just isn't a big thing here.
Don't know I'm in the United States of America it's $80 for a level 2 Security License 40 question test over stupid shit like what's the difference between a Class A , Class B , Class C , Class D , Class E . 🔥 Fire extinguisher hell if i know I'm a Security Guard not a Fireman there locked inside a glass case i won't be able to get to one anyway . Level 3 Security Armed Commission $300 and 48 class room hours at the Academy . You have to hold your level 3 license for 3 years before you can apply for a Level 4 Body Guard certification. All security licenses are good for 2 years before you have to re-test .
Am trying get a security work but I need to get the basic needs required am age 21 and I guess I need some tips I'll need to spend money getting things require what or the things I can expect like doing the test at end of training
I'd look at Handgunlaw.us . It's free & very handy. If you plan to do armed security, go ahead & get your CWP-CCW. If you live in a open carry state then learn the lethal force, weapon laws. ⚖. Dont get over whelmed but learn & understand the basics of the security, protective services industry. A military enlistment or working as a sworn LE officer even for 4-6yr will help. 👮🏻♀️🚓⚖. I'd add to buy & train with a few weapons is smart too. Take first aid & AED classes, stop the bleed, etc. 🚒🚑🏥.
First go to class and learn from instructor second past the test 3rd get the job 4th don't be an ass to people unless you have to 5th be on your toes don't ever be off guard and always be safe
Hey Tommy, excellent video as always. I am an armed guard working for a private company, and looking to get into LE. I've heard that some agencies don't like to hire guards, have you experienced getting turned down by a department just for being a guard? The company I work for is not a large corporate one, more of a smaller private one...we have patrol vehicles, hand-to-hand training, taser + OC foam + firearms training, and even some bodyguard duty a few times a year
I'm looking into armed security while waiting for the hiring process for a LE agency once I graduate from the academy. Can you give a summary on the aspects of armed security?
Maccabee Luke 22:36 Basically, you observe and report any suspicious activity -usually you will fill out a "daily log" where you write down what areas you patroled, where you stood your post. As far as detaining a criminal, if I actually see the person commiting a crime, I can detain him and call authorities. If I didn't see the crime, it's out of my hands.. I also cannot use my gun, OC, or baton to get someone to comply, I can only use those tools if I am in danger of imminent injury or death
Actually swing shift is the best shift to work.......grave yard shift sucks because you body knows it's not suppoise to be awake....at least with swings you can get "some" sleep vs Mids....where sometimes you get ZERO sleep.
There is a different in guard and officer, an officer is with rank and a guard is just a guard! Stand post to prevent access and and ofcr is more customer service type more a true professional style. Urding something is what is being done.
+Jerry Pruitt what state is it that makes this distinction? Because where I'm at there is not distinction outside the minds of the people in the marketing end of a company.
My state, Mylicensesite.com uses the license term: SECURITY OFFICER. 👮🏽♂️👮🏻♀️🚓👍. I, among others say security guards too but to me, it's not a major problem. My ego & self esteem are not stressed over job titles 😁. I did have a ex cop, security mgr in the 1990s say; a "guard" is a security person in one place or only guarding one location. A security officer patrols, files reports, has multiple duties & works out of a office.
Will companies feel insulted if I tell them that I'm in the hiring process with law enforcement and wanted to make some money in the mean time while still being related to my career choice? I currently work security for the college who knows I'm in the academy. In fact they specifically hire academy recruits. But I'm also in the hiring process with a law enforcement agency and I was thinking that if it takes longer than I thought I can work for another security job.
I'll say this from my limited knowledge. If the company lacks guards, they would hire you with a time you need to stay with them for. OR they might add that you will have to compensate for whatever they provided to you for free if you leave early. For companies who are looking to fill long-term positions and aren't taking in contracts constantly, they will mind if your schedule is not stable for them. In that case they won't hire you. So in my opinion, if you're just going to earn some money at the moment, you just have to find a large security company with many contracts and they probably expect many of their candidates to treat them as a bus stop in their career journey. Since the hiring process can take almost a year, you would probably be able to fulfill their minimum period which is probably just going to be 6 months. In fact, depending on the size of the company, if they are expanding too fast, they might even promote you before you get your police job (if they think you're an asset). Of course, you can still leave them even if you're promoted.
low pay, plenty of overtime, work every kind of shift, work every holiday, most of all NO appreciation by your employer for all the work you do. Employer expects you to do more and more. Easy to get hired, most of the time I walked into the office and was hired on the spot. HIGH turnover rate. LOTS of verbal abuse.
Absolutely people don't like answering to authority being told what they can and can't do . Security work isn't that much different from being a Police Officer we deal with the same bullshit.
Not much basically be smart about what you do, think before taking action and pick your battles. Don't be that security guard everybody knows and hate. Also expect to walk and stand ALOT.

I want take security license course, to get my job security in Australia, what’s my best opportunity to do so?
Don't know I'm in the United States of America it's $80 for a level 2 Security License 40 question test over stupid shit like what's the difference between a Class A , Class B , Class C , Class D , Class E . 🔥 Fire extinguisher hell if i know I'm a Security Guard not a Fireman there locked inside a glass case i won't be able to get to one anyway . Level 3 Security Armed Commission $300 and 48 class room hours at the Academy . You have to hold your level 3 license for 3 years before you can apply for a Level 4 Body Guard certification. All security licenses are good for 2 years before you have to re-test .
Hey What about working security while you are are police officer off Duty to get extra money Would you still have to do all these steps?
+Mistr Fusion I could make that a separate video, but it is different state by state.
Well in your state
+Mistr Fusion I can literally just work as my own company. I have insurance and I can market myself as an independent contractor.

Am trying get a security work but I need to get the basic needs required am age 21 and I guess I need some tips I'll need to spend money getting things require what or the things I can expect like doing the test at end of training
I'd look at Handgunlaw.us . It's free & very handy. If you plan to do armed security, go ahead & get your CWP-CCW. If you live in a open carry state then learn the lethal force, weapon laws. ⚖. Dont get over whelmed but learn & understand the basics of the security, protective services industry. A military enlistment or working as a sworn LE officer even for 4-6yr will help. 👮🏻♀️🚓⚖. I'd add to buy & train with a few weapons is smart too. Take first aid & AED classes, stop the bleed, etc. 🚒🚑🏥.
What details I need, before I can apply for security
First go to class and learn from instructor second past the test 3rd get the job 4th don't be an ass to people unless you have to 5th be on your toes don't ever be off guard and always be safe
Can you name a good security company in Baltimore, MD? I 've 9 years of security work experience and a degree in criminal justice?

Choose me!!! I only like to work nights . lol
Hey Tommy, excellent video as always. I am an armed guard working for a private company, and looking to get into LE.
I've heard that some agencies don't like to hire guards, have you experienced getting turned down by a department just for being a guard?
The company I work for is not a large corporate one, more of a smaller private one...we have patrol vehicles, hand-to-hand training, taser + OC foam + firearms training, and even some bodyguard duty a few times a year
I'm looking into armed security while waiting for the hiring process for a LE agency once I graduate from the academy. Can you give a summary on the aspects of armed security?
Maccabee Luke 22:36 Basically, you observe and report any suspicious activity -usually you will fill out a "daily log" where you write down what areas you patroled, where you stood your post.
As far as detaining a criminal, if I actually see the person commiting a crime, I can detain him and call authorities. If I didn't see the crime, it's out of my hands..
I also cannot use my gun, OC, or baton to get someone to comply, I can only use those tools if I am in danger of imminent injury or death
Actually swing shift is the best shift to work.......grave yard shift sucks because you body knows it's not suppoise to be awake....at least with swings you can get "some" sleep vs Mids....where sometimes you get ZERO sleep.
Do you think a private security company can specialize in LP ? Combine uniformed and undercover plain clothes
There is a different in guard and officer, an officer is with rank and a guard is just a guard! Stand post to prevent access and and ofcr is more customer service type more a true professional style. Urding something is what is being done.
+Jerry Pruitt what state is it that makes this distinction? Because where I'm at there is not distinction outside the minds of the people in the marketing end of a company.
My state, Mylicensesite.com uses the license term: SECURITY OFFICER. 👮🏽♂️👮🏻♀️🚓👍. I, among others say security guards too but to me, it's not a major problem. My ego & self esteem are not stressed over job titles 😁. I did have a ex cop, security mgr in the 1990s say; a "guard" is a security person in one place or only guarding one location. A security officer patrols, files reports, has multiple duties & works out of a office.
I want to get the job but I'm 5:3 height and 130 pounds with martial arts I don't know if martial arts experience is required to get a job like that
Will companies feel insulted if I tell them that I'm in the hiring process with law enforcement and wanted to make some money in the mean time while still being related to my career choice? I currently work security for the college who knows I'm in the academy. In fact they specifically hire academy recruits. But I'm also in the hiring process with a law enforcement agency and I was thinking that if it takes longer than I thought I can work for another security job.
I'll say this from my limited knowledge. If the company lacks guards, they would hire you with a time you need to stay with them for. OR they might add that you will have to compensate for whatever they provided to you for free if you leave early. For companies who are looking to fill long-term positions and aren't taking in contracts constantly, they will mind if your schedule is not stable for them. In that case they won't hire you.
So in my opinion, if you're just going to earn some money at the moment, you just have to find a large security company with many contracts and they probably expect many of their candidates to treat them as a bus stop in their career journey.
Since the hiring process can take almost a year, you would probably be able to fulfill their minimum period which is probably just going to be 6 months. In fact, depending on the size of the company, if they are expanding too fast, they might even promote you before you get your police job (if they think you're an asset). Of course, you can still leave them even if you're promoted.
Im Pennsylvania is just the fingerprint
low pay, plenty of overtime, work every kind of shift, work every holiday, most of all NO appreciation by your employer for all the work you do. Employer expects you to do more and more. Easy to get hired, most of the time I walked into the office and was hired on the spot. HIGH turnover rate. LOTS of verbal abuse.
The video starts at 4:30.

What are your opinions on Federal Security such as the TSA?
USAjobs.gov is a great resource. 👍. Its free & lists everything you may need.
I like how he flips out every time he interrupts him.
Do I have to be 18
Being a cop are you generally met with a lot of hostility from people more so then positive encointers ?
Absolutely people don't like answering to authority being told what they can and can't do . Security work isn't that much different from being a Police Officer we deal with the same bullshit.
Like the white Sox in the back !!
Not much basically be smart about what you do, think before taking action and pick your battles. Don't be that security guard everybody knows and hate. Also expect to walk and stand ALOT.
4:33 its starts from here
A Security License looks like your Driver's License good thing to hand a Police Officer it gets you out of allot of shit .
