>Thinking of becoming a security guard after Uni so I can start making money while I try to figure out where I wanna go long term
I-is it really that bad /k/?

>>31184596
Don't take it so personal. Realize it's just a job. Make your money and then move on with your life.

>>31184596
Here's the deal.

Normal people, won't interact with you. Because they are normal, they won't do anything strange or insane or really anything to draw your attention.

So who will you interact with? The crazy people of course.

>>31184653
Yeah but how often do you deal with the crazies? I mean I guess it depends what kind of security job you do, I doubt you're gonna be interacting with many people if you're an armed guard at an off limits are compared to being like campus or mall security. But is it like your daily life is hell or is it like private investigations where 90% of the job is just sitting in your car being really fucking bored and only about once a month or so you actually run into some crazy shit?

>>31184815
If daily life was hell no one would do it. It's relaxed, however it also depends on the venue and how many people are processed. Disneyland? You'll get a higher volume of crazies statistically cuz higher volume of total people.

A bank? Not as much.

>>31184850
So basically look for security gigs at banks and other relatively small and peaceful area's if you want boring but comfy, avoid the big ass places. I gotcha famalam.

I used to work for Securitas. 3rd shift at a local chemical factory. 25 acres of catwalks, giant vats of caustic, flammable and/or explosive chemicals, even a couple underground tunnels and a bunker. Was a load of fun to skulk about in, on normal days there was about a dozen people on shift. On the holidays I had the place to myself. With almost all the lights off and the pipes banging and clanking as they cooled it was immensely creepy.

Ex GardaWorld employee here.

Absolutely god awful. If the depressing state of the trucks won't suck your soul away your depressing co-workers will.

Thankfully my branch had some good folk. Overall it was awful. Trucks were filthy, your ventilation was a 6"x4" slot in the roof that leaked like crazy when it rained. The A/C almost never worked, and when it did you would still bake inside the truck because lol heat exchange. High score in our branch was 146 degrees Fahrenheit.

Shitty trucks aside. You usually work 8-12+ hours driving straight. Dealing with shitbags. Hauling coin into banks. We had TD Bank, some of them would buy 30+ boxes of coin. A box or quarters weighs a good 50+ pounds. They never had a loading dock and the sidewalks weren't always maintained. So have fun maneuvering 500+ pounds of coin with a shitty aluminium dolly into a bank with no automatic doors and a staff that cares less than your management.

Then the banks would ship out 20+ bags of coin. One of our routes did 150 bags of coin a day.

The trucks aren't designed to handle all the weight of coin AND the weight of the armor. Our company also took the front seats out so one guy had to ride in the back with the coin and the rear seat was over the leaf springs. You feel EVERY bump.

I could seriously sit here for an hour complaining about it, and it's been 5 months since I quit. Pretty sure I almost got carbon monoxide poisoning.

>>31185023
Well, What did you carry during it?

If you're not doing this job for a couple years and then getting the fuck out to something better, you're an idiot. There is no future in private security.

>>31185223
I don't think there's anyone who considers security as anything more than an in between job.

>>31185271
Probably the upper management, the site and district directors. Though at that point you're not security just "Oh god how do i get these guys to work overtime/overnights and stop crashing the mobile unit"

I work Loss Prevention at a discount store. I have some shoplifter stories and stuff but these days I usually just play emulators or watch anime in my office.

Securitas bros? Well shit.

Work at a college, 40 hours a week of browsing twitter and yelling at hobos.

I'm a current Garda employee and can confirm all of that and more. I've been working for 3 years here and literally every day is something new to bitch about.

This summer we had a truck with no AC for 42 days during the hottest months. Record temp was "only" 125 though. I drank 2 gallons of water that day and never pissed.

We have 7 trucks at our branch and no more than 3 have ever been able to move under their own power at any time.

Eventually I said fuck this, drove the truck back to the branch at noon (because that's when our manager would come into work, he would always leave at 3 also) told my boss that this shit doesn't fly and to get the fucking trucks fixed. Now every time the AC goes out it goes to the shop that day. So at least that issue is fixed.

Pic related is one of our trucks.

>>31184905
I'm actually still working for securitas while doing college. Won't maybe after 1st semester because as a engineering grad, many companies like the low paid interns doing the technician work. But this depends on how long the internship goes. I loath the idea of working for securitas for 2 more years, but not having money is worse since in driving 35 miles to school.

>>31184567
It pays the bills.

worked with Champion National at a mall for 6 months, made $10p/h
currently armed security at a [redacted] plant (in house security) $25 p/h armed.

The cheaper the pay, the higher the turnover, the worse the job. Dont work for big companies, armored truck jobs suck. the best way to calm someone down is to quickly shake their hand, introduce yourself and ask "how can I help" before they get a chance to say anything to you.

ask me anything I guess.

They will literally hire anyone who can pass a drug test and background check. Experience is not required, but the patience to deal with autistic coworkers is preferred.

Hows the hotel security scene? Let's say decent to high society hotels, not those shitty rundown places truckers and meth heads hang out in.

Also, TSA agents.

Loss Prevention is worth doing if anyone is looking to get into security.

You typically sit in camera room and only come out to walk the floor or make stops. Apprehend shoplifters and have them arrested, not much else too it.

Money is okay too. I got my armed guard license but I'm so comfortable I don't want to leave. I get paid to come and hang out for eight hours a day.

>>31185841
geez its like the higher ups have no respect for the companies image.

>>31185862
Just make sure you carry two glocks while you do it. You never know when you'll get into a gun battle with Tyrone over a pack of skittles. :)

>>31185836
I used to work in another state that had the new trucks they're making that had their shit together and didn't take themselves too seriously but were good at their job.

I wanted to move closer to my grandmother who passed last March so I transferred last August to where I am now. I've been actively looking for work for 3 months but there isn't much that pays better in this area.

I actually carry a S&W Bodyguard in an ankle holster. There was a black out last winter and some guy tried to rob me before he realized I was packing and took off.

I have it more so to keep myself from getting mugged at the end of the night. It's against company policy.

>>31185822
If you honestly think that I want to do anything except finish my shift and take off my shit-ass-made-in-India-sweatshop uniform and uncomfortable as fuck gun belt, go home and maybe fuck my wife before passing out from exhaustion with my last thought before sleep hoping that I don't wake up in the morning then you're retarded.

>Science lab
>apartments
>banks

>Furniture store
>cleaning chemical distributor

It's a boring ass job, with shit pay and awful hours. If you have a good cell phone provider or luck out with a site with good WiFi (like this one currently) then you can shitpost to your heart's content. That's pretty much the only good thing about it though.

Can you read marginally? Write halfway legibly? Walk for more than 10 minutes without requiring a break? Congratulations, you're over qualified. Don't over think it, you're basically a hall monitor/babysitter. Literally what I'm doing now is making sure employees aren't smoking weed on site.
>Am I required to join up with a security company?
I dont know, that's up to the state. If LV requires certification, which I'm sure it does, then that'll be your best bet. Most places contract out security work, very rarely do you see a Guard who actually works for the site they're at.

work with any company of your choice for 6 months at the least.after that ask to become an armed guard if you arent allready. if they say yes and raise your pay to at least $20 or by $5 an hour if youre allready over $20 p/h, then youre with a good company. If they say no or give a wishy washy answer then move on to another company that will.

I have a law degree and had attended multiple leadership and/or weapons related training programs, and neither securitas nor champion cared about them. I still made the basic starting pay.

The company I work for now on the other hand bought all my equipment for me (as in, they gave me a bonus check equal to ,the cost of my gear. so I basically got a free glock, cuffs, and kevlar, etc), payed for my armed guard license, and pays for a range membership.

so work for someone random to get experiance and training and good greentexts, then move on to a real security company (in house a best) that will honor all your shit and has good dental.

Has anyone here NOT worked in a casino?? It is far from boring I cant tell you that, Yeah the gaming drops suck but being a Graveyard Casino Cop is as close as it gets mang... Actually kinda want to be a Paramedic later on down the road - I am seeing the same shit but I only make 14.50.

I drove a van with a foot sized hole in the floor of the drivers seat because the cab was rusting through.

Same truck had exhaust leaking Into the cabin at an alarming rate. Ironically it had decent A/C.

I had pica on my old phone, wish I still had them. It was always fun giving customers boxes of coin that had been stewing in rust water all day.

I carried a Ruger P93DC for the first year, then I bought my co-workers GP100 with a 4" barrel. Bought a nice leather holster and decided to wear that. I wasn't trying to be tactical like all the other guys. It was a shit job and it didn't matter what you carried. If someone was gonna rob you, you were just gonna get a bullet In the back of your skull. Or some tweaker was gonna try to snatch and grab the money.

I'm 6'10" so the revolver was a good touch for my frame.

My department hired me with no college and now I get paid to go to school lmao @ ur life homie

Worked for Allied in Pittsburgh.

Had a gig at a Seagate lab. Read books and chilled all night. Used to go up to the roof a smoke.

After that I went to the most robbed bank in shitsburgh. It was not a nice experience. Niggers!

Former library security guard here. Armed with only a radio, we had to deal with pathological masturbators, child rapists, laptop thieves, homeless people trying to hide in every dark corner, and upskirt cam filmers. Nobody even believed my stories. During exams (large university library btw) the students practically live there, yet we were still expected to enforce the no drink policy. Which means I had to stand in front of a whole study hall full of spoiled socialists in my ridiculous uniform and explain how their starbucks was in violation of policy and that I needed to escort them to the main entrance where they could leave their drinks on the amnesty table, where they will be promptly stolen by the homeless. If the director saw drinks in the building I would get a documented warning, which affected my yearly $0.25 raise. Also my boss was legitimately insane, as in institutionalized for six months. He thought he was an actual police chief, and had indeed went though police academy but failed somehow. He often told people that he was ex-military, which was untrue.

Wasn't there some guy here that guarded a weed farm?

It's all electronically tracked. Unless the scanner isn't working that day.

If anything goes missing, it's your ass. Even if then truck door flies open because the locks are almost always broken.

I had the rear door on one of my trucks fly open on the highway after hitting a bump at 60mph.

I lost 5 boxes of pennies. Boss was fucking pissed but it wasnt my fault. He trucks have latches on them in case the normal locks fail, but the latches always get loose.

PILB is private sector, you need to go through Gaming to get in a Casino and you don't apply for it yourself - the Casino sets it up for you when you apply and get hired. Getting a PILB has no effect on Gaming as they are two different things.

I had a PILB because I worked for TSI for 6 years before going to the Casinos.

I am. The LP dude from before.

Had a fuck ton of shitty customers today. I haven't had to deal with them really but the last family here are these shit heads with ghetto ass kids running around without shoes and climbing shelves and playing in the bathroom.

The kids are diagnosably retarded and don't listen to anyone and keep walking off from their parents. And I don't have the motivation to actually care enough to do anything about it.

And the little fuck tried to steal the gummy worms I left out I was sharing with the accessories associate.

I can't wait for them to leave. I've got donkey kong country paused in the office right now I want to get back too.

>>31186939
It gets crazy on the weekends, but the thing with graveyard is we have all the drops - so it can get tedious but I wouldn't call it boring. Unlike other casinos we are hands on: I have worked here two years and have arrested 4 people with two of them actually being transported to the Grey Bar Hotel - been to court a couple of times.

I would say you see something go down once a month and actually do some cool shit twice a year... Excalibur is at the end of the strip so we see a bunch of dirt bags...

....also lol Remove Hobo from the premises

Is night security actually a good job for an autistic NEET type (poor social skills, low physical strength, but at their most awake between 11pm and 9am anyway), or is that just a meme?

>>31186939
Oh also I have never drawn my weapon but I have sprayed a couple guys

I work for one of these companies. I'm over qualified and anything beyond high school is over qualified. Here's how the companies are ranked.

>Brinks
Relatively Professional. Aren't dicks to other company guys. Trucks are not great so they break down often.
>Dunbar
Depends highly on the branch. Some have decent guys and decent managers. Trucks are better but still have shitty old ones. The branch mechanic if he's good will make your life better.
>Garda
Literally hire anybody. People with straight mental disorders work here. Management sucks. Trucks will kill you. Literally. Have holes somebody can shoot through in like 50% of the trucks. Company policy is not followed. Assholes to other companies.
>Loomis
At least they aren't Garda.

The job isn't awful if you aren't a hothead/paranoid and have some form of discipline. If you have good management and a lot of ex-military or retired LE in your branch then your life will be easier. Totally chill job if you can handle the driving/trucks/coworkers/customers. People hate you on the road. You get eyeballed by everybody. Lots of guys just do their own thing. Always looking for employees so getting a job isn't hard. Keeping it and putting up with everything is the issue.

If you have a lot of free time and no kids then it's an ok job. Some guys clear 35-40k due to overtime and live comfy.

>>31187016
It sort of is, it's site dependent though. Some sites you're all up in peoples business and sometimes you're not. Helped me get out of NEET mode though

>>31186909
Where the hell do you get a job like that?

>>31187005
>>31187019

how often are fights or vehicle burgs? We've seen fights go down in the past few months, but burglaries have gone up. We're on the north end of our 'strip,' so its always been a problem. Is 4 considered a lot for your department? some of our guys hit around a dozen by the two year mark.

>>31187019
yeah, use of force is never fun, I drew on a vehicle about to hit me; got a three day suspension for that. Sprayed a guy too, manager tried to write me up for that too.

>>31187068
I hear Los Zetas are hiring.

>>31187068
I live in Colorado and know a guy with exactly that job. I think he's ex military if I remember right, he's a security guard for some indoor growery. Carries an ar15 and a sidearm.

>>31187106

I really don't know the reasoning behind it other than it's a high dollar business. It wouldn't be too hard to steal tens of thousands of dollars worth of pot if your security wasn't on point.

>>31186909
You have my dream job right now. Surprisingly there aren't many pot farms in my state that are hiring for security. Sucks because I would love to have an actual reason to carry around pic related.
>>31186958
It's my day off but 90% of my shit posting is while bouncing around the back of a truck like it's a dryer on high with a cinder block in it.

>>31187188

While I agree with this 100% the only guy I ever had a problem with was a NatGuard guy who thought he was hot shit and God's gift to our branch. Asshole lied about being deployed and took a month off of work, came back and was like "Uh, guess I'm out of the army now."

>>31187084
By 4 I mean 4 incidents were I personally cuff the subject; I mean take downs and other Officers hooking guys up... average 1 to 2 incidents a month - It comes down to being in the right place at the right time.

Vehicle burglaries are not a problem nowadays because we have paid parking with gates/attendants. It still happens but it has gone down substantially.

We had a guy draw on a vehicle about to hit him... he got a Note to File ... He did literally nothing wrong and when Metro showed up they actually told him he did a good job, patted him on the back and everything. I got a write up for spraying my two - Company is so afraid of lawsuits in our oh-so-litigious society, one Officer's well being means nothing to them. Besides all that, it is a fun job and I love it.

I am looking into being a dispatcher - more pay and I can take that experience and work in the public sector.

Henderson NV just had a hiring for dispatchers starting at $30/hr.

>>31187254
No Garda. Probably the same shit tho.
>coworker flagged me
We had a dumb guy, nice but dumb, that got a Rock River 1911 he wanted to show off. So he's in the vault standing next to me while I'm manifesting and we're talking. When we get done he loads it back up by pointing it across his body at me, loading it, and dropping the hammer on a loaded chamber with nothing holding it but the tip of his thumb.

Dude made himself scarce for a while after I got done yelling at him about being a retard with loaded guns.

>>31187259
I can't stand the fucking stolen valor fags who for some reason this job attracts.

Oh, you did 2 deployments as a Green Beret and are only 24? And you were an E-5? Suuuurreeeee you did buddy.

Like, there are enough guy's in my branch that were actually military to catch those lying assholes and who don't act like their hot shit but Christ half the stolen valor fags don't even make it believable.

>>31187317
>Garda
You poor soul...

And yeah, most coworkers who stay are nice enough but most aren't incredibly bright. Like, drive into oncoming traffic in a 10 ton vehicle because the stop is to the left on a one-way street type of not bright.

Pleb.
Also are you too retarded to. Figure out 24 hour time?

>>31187270

Yeah, that's what I meant too. Ive got about 12 cuffs under my belt, we write our own reports so I can only prove 6. Ive heard you guys have report writers?

Yeah, I heard that paid parking was a pretty recent move by MGM, I remember Excalibur garages being pretty open access when I visited last October. Good to know it keeps crime down, we might follow suit soon.

Thats pretty ironic, my spray was a note to file, the gun draw was a suspension. How is your guy's relationship with Metro? We have the strongest ties with Reno Police out of all the casinos in town.

do you mind if I get some contact details from you? maybe a throw away email? Im stay at the Excalibur in December and would love to hear more about it.

>>31187362

the fuck with all the asshats on nighttime /k/ lately.

>>31187348
stolen valor is pretty universal in security. We had a guy claim he was a green beret that assassinated the president of Tanzania, the last assassination was decades before he was born.

>That pink calculator.

That pretty much sums up security guard work.

>>31187348
>Stolen Valor fags
Had a guy who claimed he was a marine sniper and got out as a SSG after 4 years. He carried a hi point.

The guy I was talking about was actually in the NatGuard, he was just a massive shit bag. Like, never passed a single APFT in 6 years and failed 2 drug tests while never moving past PFC. The second one got him kicked out of the army which is when he lied about getting deployed (his unit really was deployed to AFG) and took a month off.
>Like, drive into oncoming traffic in a 10 ton vehicle because the stop is to the left on a one-way street type of not bright.

Oh I forgot to mention our firearms instructor who was fired after it was found out he lied about being in the military. Made claims of being a sniper and all the elite unit shit. He could barely hit a silhouette target at 15 yards with an AR.

>>31187461
If I stick with this job I would need a management position and crew chief/firearms instructor is the way to start. Couldn't handle it for more than a few years without a promotion though. I'm guessing taking NRA firearm instructor courses, gunsmithing, getting extra training (shotgun qual), and first aid stuff could help. Plus I could find another job easily if I really need one. I just don't want to get so useful I'm not promotable as laughable as that sounds it's probably likely in this industry. Hopefully showing up to work on time, being polite to the bosses, looking good each day, and not being a complete dumbass is enough to get me started though.

>>31187461

What's more telling is that he wasn't caught before he was an instructor. Poor screening for a security company.

Yeah. Omar Mateen worked for G4S. Never trust security to actually protect/help you. 95% of the job is being present as a deterrent.

>>31185023
>>31185599

Garda here also. Where I live they're the best paying CIT around. If you get full time you're fucking set. But that's a big, unrealistic, if.

My initial training was excellent, as good as anything I got in the military and included force on force simunitions. But that's all basically gone and now, and even people who can't hit a fucking silhouette at 21ft will pass their annual quals - when I started even one miss was an automatic fail.

The excellent pay is what keeps you trapped. Hours are trash and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. A few years of this has done more to my knees than nearly a decade of light infantry work. It has no future, and no one has any will to live. It's unionized so many of the guys only care about getting theirs and fuck everyone else in the process.

I don't think I can handle another winter of this shit but I don't know what else to do.

>>31187700
If you have enough cash saved up go into trade school for plumbing or HVAC, looks like what is happening to the armoured truck business is what is happened to the CDL businesses too many retards, wages will only drop from here and conditions will only get worse.

>>31187700
>Garda
>Highest paying around
>set with full time
>actual training
>unionized

Wat? If you're making more than 50k a year doing this I'm impressed. Most places around me are $11-13 per hour with 50-80 hour weeks being the norm for full time guys. And there's minimal training. Also, literally none of these companies by me are unionized.

>>31187770
>If you're making more than 50k a year doing this I'm impressed.

When I joined Garda had a near Monopoly on bank services in my area. With mad overtime, there were guys coming close to pulling 6 figures. But that's if you're full time. I dont think they'll ever hire full time again.

Garda being Garda they fucked up and lost a pile of contracts.

>unionized

Ups and downs. You basically won't get fired unless you steal or muzzle sweep someone like a retard. But that also means the biggest pieces of shit you can possibly imagine are well protected as long as they don't fuck up to that extreme. Good for them, but bad for you - you'll get a pink slip before they do.

No one ever seems to quit or retire either. A pile of them started in the 60s-70s out of grade 10 and never saved for retirement because it never occurred to them until it was too late. Some of them look like the walking dead.

It could be worse. One of the companies that took over a contract we lost is basically a front for the russian mob. I hear daily horror stories of guys not getting vests or guns, fucked on pay, being charged hundreds of dollars for pathetic training, etc.

>>31187700
>>31187770
>Garda

My branch used threats of unionization to get management in there to listen to us. It never worked and they found other ways to keep unions out.

My branch also had 0 training. My first day was

My 2nd day was
>here's one of our bigger trucks with airbrakes
I had never driven airbrakes.

Most of the employees made adhoc seats in the front because the back would kill your back and knees from the ride alone.

Fuck, I just hope me being a combat-arms veteran and looking very approachable will help get a comfy position guarding closed property or anything not dealing with the everyday public. Interviewer today was very excited to have me there and was down to see if I could provide proof of secret clearance or at least qualified for it. Gonna go ahead and take that as a good sign.

>>31184567

Have two jobs I work. First one is Bank Protection Officer for G4S. Pretty much all I do is stand in front of a Bank of America for 8 hours (9 on Fridays) wearing a .38spc revolver and a bulletproof vest. Get two 15 and one 30 minute breaks per day, but otherwise have to be outside sweating or freezing my ass off. Pay is good, $19 an hour with a 50 cent raise coming up, plus plenty of overtime. I try and help out the armored car guys whenever they visit by holding the door for them, even though I'm not supposed to. Most exciting thing that has happened so far is two guys almost fighting each other right in front of the doors.

My second job is one I work on the weekends, which is armed security for the FAA at the local major airport. What I do is me and a buddy guard the control tower and all the equipment they need, computers, etc. Very easy job, indoors in air conditioning the whole time, and don't have to worry about intruders, since there is some pretty advanced security systems in place before you would even reach where I am. Pay is a little lower, at only $17.80 an hour, but for sitting around reading and occasionally walking around for 8 hours, it is easy money. Plus I get a parking pass for a lot right next to the terminals, which I can use when I go on vacation.

Don't plan on making them a career, as I am still in university for a couple more semesters.

Considering the recent merger with Barton and Universal, I'm actually fairly certain that their non-physical security services are pretty inline with my going into the IT education and certifications.

Or you're in a mall. A Non-job most days, medic/babysitter on others

Is being security a good life?

I ask because it might be my future. I'm a big guy (for you) and I'm really just interested in a job where I can sit at a desk most of them time and read and do a sweep of the area every once in a while. I'm also a night person, and I enjoy being alone.

Did LP for like 8 years at various retailers, did some uniform bike patrol/vehicle stuff, and currently bouncing while I wait to ship to NG basic because security/LP isn't exactly a career. Interacted with a LOT of cops on a daily basis, but I don't really wanna work LE in this mega-liberal town. Sitting in a camera room or being forced to walk the floor while working loss prevention depends a lot on where you work, different companies have different policies. They also have varying policies on the force you're allowed to use, which is the main reason why I finally got out of it, I got sick of trying to do my job with my hands figuratively tied behind my back. When I started it was like chase/fight/cuff everyone, now you're instructed to not touch anyone and just ask them to please come inside and be arrested while hoping you don't get stabbed. I have LP stories out the ass, ask me whatever.

It's decent, and honestly sounds like something you'd enjoy, with that description. Looking scary, being able to stay awake, and being able to make yourself seen is very important.

I've been doing this job for 3 years, and have read so many books its not even funny. I regularly get "atta boy" praise for my performance. I sit and read, do my hourly rounds, then sit and read some more. It's piss easy.

You wont normally have a desk, but will normally have somewhere to sit, and you generally aren't watching cameras. The whole point is to be a deterrent, they want you to be seen.

My company has a "No video games, no TVs, no radios, no reading material," rule, but I've only been caught once and just got a finger wagging over it. Do your job and nobody will care too much.

Tell them you want to work 3rd shift. Don't worry about heckling, I've only had it happen once personally

No, only punched. As the industry has moved to a hands-off policy, it's emboldened shoplifters and made they ballsy. My last couple months working LP I got hit in the face twice, which had never happened in the years prior. One chipped my tooth and the other messed up my jaw and had me not eating solid foods for about a week. Both were sucker punches. Both were people who I would have already cuffed had it still been in policy.

>>31188932
You deal with a lot simpler people that don't care about getting caught. Sounds like a step up to get paid for that sort of thing.

>>31188920
I was a dish washer before being a guard its weird getting told your doing good when you fuck around and do nothing most of the time

Literally this
I work at a small town mall while I go through college. I don't deal with anything serious. But with this pokemon go becoming so popular I have seen an increase in night time traffic.

Right? I've been told by police that me and my co-workers have actively reduced crime when I know that half the time most of them are sleeping and I spend at least 30-45 minutes jerking off in the bathroom alone, never mind the reading, shitposting, Gameboy Emulator playing, and movie watching.

I no shit got stoned with the owner of a hotel once and watched a bunch of /k/ as fuck movies while we demolished pizza. I kept recommending movies and he just kept putting them on

I have no desire to fight crime or do a service to my community like that. I'd rather just have a steady job where all I do is look intimidating and patrol an area at night.

It's a mostly boring job, a peaceful job, and it's what i want to do.

>>31189072
You're not going to insult anyone in this thread, as it's true of 95% of the employees. The other 5% are ex-mil who are either getting out of full-NEET mode, or are transitioning between actual jobs.

The security guys at the nuclear power plant near me are pretty fucking operator though.

Is a security guard license worth it?

I'm sitting on my ass for the next few months until I can go back to college in spring semester and have a part time job at a big box gun shop that's pretty brotier but doesn't pay the bills.

Would it be worth it to pay the shekels for the course and start doing night security? I've got some experience already from my last job with a park service that had me rousting drunks and niggers and closing hundred acre facilities in shitty areas.

Not if you mean a job in trying to enforce the status quo. I'm not even comfortable saying it. If you grew up in a place and wanted to make it some people will disrespect everything in their way, and others will support their decision. It raises the standards for people that can enforce it because nobody besides the worse people doing the wrong things really ultimately wants to use force.

>>31184596
I am a guard right now and honestly I can say this job is 10-times better than any shitty minimum wage job. I guard a hotel and like others have said, you mostly have problems with gheto morons but it is the most fun I have had in ages. It is definitely a welcome change from the mundane.

Although this is a false statement I'm going to stand by it. Sometimes there's no other option, the problem is putting people in a position to deal with this is getting so convoluted the amount of people that can do it is shrinking dramatically. Technology isn't holding an edge on that.

I've smuggled flasks pretty much everywhere in a pair of Wellington's

Google security guard here. $20/hr but I mostly work graveyard. See some cool shit and walked in on a couple fucking once at 2am in a conference room. Easiest job in the world. Free food and drink, bosses never bother you. Kind of boring at night though.

(I run back and forth between Google San Francisco and Mountain view)

I did security for about 6 years, and another 6 in the military. Always had a lot of vets in the industry. They were cool because they were always professional. Now I work around a large security ffirm that swallowed up a lot of smaller local companies. They have no standards. I have a thing avout visible piercings, gauges, or tattoos the show when in uniform. It looks fucking unprofessional as fuck. I can even deal with tats but fuckimg holes in your head, nose rings, eyebrow piercings... that shit pisses me off, not just because those open you up to injury in almost an6 scufffle. Its just not professional looking in uniform.

>>31189114
Not really. It was a college/school job for me.
I dropped out of college and went to tech school. Best decision I ever made.

Casino surveillance, easiest job ever. $24 an hour and if something goes down I just radio for security.

>>31189613
I used to work a night mobile patrol. Part of our job was checking storage unit companies across town and locking the gates at night. I ran across a ton of couples giving head in their cars doing that. Always embarassing but funny too.

>>31189634
Yeah but don't you have to have mob connections to land that kind of job? Or be another member of the tribe?

>>31188528
Buy an svt first. Then immigrate.

>>31189618
The urge to shitpost here is almost uncontrollable, but I'll refrain.

Local companies are literally the scourge of the private security industry. They have zero standards, near insane turnover rates, and pay fuck all. This in turn allows them to charge exponentially less than companies with higher standards and higher pay, which in turn, lowers standards and pay for larger companies.

Then they get bought out, but remain in control, and run an otherwise good name into the dirt, because the only thing that actually changes is the uniform and the amount of money going into their pockets. It slays me, and is a vicious cycle. I fucking despise local security companies.

>>31189618
Well that stuff use to be a uniform when there was no uniform. I don't hold it against people that done it already they can't undo what's been done for the most part. I can really see people doing it just to do it if they already fit, if their conduct works and it doesn't interfere with things they're doing practically it isn't much of a concern.

>>31189657
Yeah, but now as a customer and a referrer it makes me question them. I mean, just take your jewelry off at work, get some skin colors gauge plugs, convince me and the suspicious idiots hiring you that you're capable and not a felon. And I mean, I have tats, but its all in how you wear the uniform and carry yourself.

I started as a bartender worked my way up the ladder and now I'm the assistant manager of surveillance. I am a small bit native but mostly German. I look in no way native and get called a cracker by floor staff pretty often.

>>31189642
No, its not that bad most places and a lot of smaller casinos have high turnover rate as people get experience and move on to bigger venues. Start learning table games, maybe go to classes. Some casinos hold dealer pre-hire classes to teach and screen potential applicants.

>>31188295
I worked for allied before the merger.

I patrolled industrial and warehouses mostly. My only "bank" posting was at a computer center. A handful of IT and office people and three stories of servers. We had mask and oxy rig at the desk because 95% of the building had a halon system.

>>31189675
People notice piercings years and years later even if you don't take it to an extreme. Tattoo's under your uniform just make you easier to identify, people pointing at it are going to be complaining more about current circumstances and just point at that if it's not going the right way. If you're getting a finger pointed at you it's probably better about some old marking than the current thing since it's only happening since they're just questioning the way you do your job no matter how professionally you did it.
Plus it's kinda nice to see one of those marks and know, yep that ones mine. I'd recognize that anywhere.

>>31184567

>>31189707
Not with my clientele. All I hear is how the guards looks like thigs and hoodlums. They're mostly nice employees, but people notice and comment, and it leaves an impression of the company. And I make money by exploiting those impressions into changing contractors.

>>31189729
It doesn't even faze me anymore
because with the high turnover rate I know their ass will be down the road shortly.

>>31189725
Yup, thats my drive and that's how lax the standards. Uniforms present an appearance, they tell a story about a person. Worn with pride and conciousness they promote confidence but worn sloppy they scream careless.

>>31189654
Can confirm.
I worked for Ohio retail security before we were bought out by Universal Protection Services. Nothing much changed but our uniforms and we got a security card. Luckily our boss is awesome and keeps us in the straight and narrow when it comes to hiring. We don't usually get shit people looking for an easy job.

>>31185614
I'm trying to get a job with securitas. Do they hire ppl w/o experience? I want to a guard, but no military or police background.

>>31189805
I once got into a foot pursuit with a Securitas guy who came into my Safeway while in full uniform and stole a bunch of socks and yogurt. Chased him into a Dollar Tree but he lost me when he slipped out a third exit door and I thought the Dollar Tree only had two. :'(

>>31189696
Here in California allied contracts with Google (hence me doing security for Google, I've work for alliedbarton since last October) if you are in the Sf bay area they are hiring for the Google account for flex officers. Easy Shit for $20/hr

>>31186909
This pathetic faggot again

Join border patrol or Customs. Its America's securiry guards. Toss up with TSA for competancy.

Getting a degree of sorts in private security, yurop fuck yeah we actually need education to get into fucking securitas or some shit...

Anyways, 3rd full week and I'm already too tired for this shit, and so far classes have been everything else EXCEPT for actual education on what to do with Trayvon and his rag-tag gang of shakalakabingbongs or even looking at camera feed or anything really.

Just basic language, computer handling, basically I've spent my days scratching my balls and filling in forms and shit so that I can leech off the gubamint to pay the bills. Since I already know how to send links to silly cat videos trough e-mail and I know not to give out my credit card information to nigerian royalties etc.

Worst part is that my classmates are pretty much kiddies fresh out of highschool. And I'm just sitting here wishing I still was a kiddie so I wouldn't have to fill in 300+ pages of forms just so I could pay the bills

So se/k/urity, should I reconsider my life choices and get into another field or should I suffer these 3 years and see where it takes me?

>>31189901
Number 1 skill that most employers want and lots of guards cant do? Write a literate incident report. Learn brevity, and some grammar. Just enough so that you dont appear illiterate. Those reports are legal documents that can be used in court but so many officers write at a 6th grade level. Learn computer office essentials like Excel and MS Word, Access and similar. Operations centers always need competant dispatchers, and there is always a need to write reports or spreadsheets. Not sexy, but it helps you get hired.

>>31189921
Sounds perfect for me desu. In fact, I want a job like security so I have a lot of thinking time for writing books and illustrating.

>>31189901
You're country must have much higher standards than America, and it seems like security operates completely differently with that amount of training. That sounds like career path levels of training. I don't think anyone here is qualified to give advice on your situation.

Here's the thing though. How many security guards die at disney land compared to security guards at banks, I know it's a really small statistic but for some that sort of thing counts. Also being a security guard at disney must come with some special bonuses.

I worked for 3 months without a day off, pulling 10 and 11 hour days walking a mall witbout a break when I first got hired on by champion. I was the only officer on duty, and on weekends the only thing resembling a mall employee period. My first day on the job five fifteen year olds pissed off a store owner with anger management issues. He called the cops on the kids, and almost ended up getting arrested himself.

>>31188875

Literally all I'm doing right now.

I stopped doing patrols like a week ago because the plant manager told me all I have to do is babysit, and to quit killing myself.

I'm pretty sure that he goes around the back and smokes weed and didn't want me to catch him, but hey, he's the boss. Win win in my opinion.

there does exsist private guards with arrest powers

There are some security jobs where the training, requirements, and pay are better than local police.

For instance I work for a firm that has a higher starting pay than the major metro PD Im based near, Im union, and I get decent benefits.

by far most security jobs are go-nowhere and poorly paid, but at least the work aint hard.

provided your contract has that, for us, anything Level 1 (completely unarmed) was hands off, Level 2 (baton/cuffs/OC) was situation dependent, Level 3 (fully armed) was pretty much do whatever the fuck you need cuz youre on your own

blood/plasma donation contracts, patrol, supervisors, and special events were all level 3, level 3 contracts/positions were the shiiiiiiiiiiiiit

i did patrol for most of the time i was there along with doing special events (also did movie promos, got PAID to watch movies, overall not bad)

however, my pay was pretty shit tier

on patrols, you had your car, you, and the road, i basically blasted Kanye West and Travis Scott while driving around Seattle all night, it was great on the condition that nothing was fucked up, but shit was usually fucked, the company was understaffed, had people quitting constantly, and ofc had people just not show up for shifts, which meant patrol had to drop their shit and go handle it

we did alarm calls too, if you have somebody like ADT, keep in mind that your area may be contracted out to a private company and not handled by PD, took me over two fucking hours to get to a call in the middle of bum fuck nowhere once, that was no fun. i was lucky to get to an alarm call in a half hour, it sucked, and every call i got except 1 was completely bogus

the one call i got that wasnt bogus was a liquor store being broken into, wouldnt have mattered if i was in the area as they were gone in <5 min, but it was one of those things to where if i had gotten there, i might have plugged some dindus

i got to that call in ~45 minutes, and PD got there a minute or two after i did

>>31190202
Highly dependent on state and what type of site you're at. I've kicked plenty of people off property, but never had to go further than a stern word and an escort, beyond that I'm required to call the police and have them removed. Also only have powers of "detainment" and can only cuff someone if they're a direct threat to myself or another person.

Laws are different state by state and you have to know them in and out pertaining to your state or end up in fucking jail. We actually had a guy fired recently for going hands on with someone the client wanted removed, that shits a no no.

I still do movie promos, even after I got a new job. They have us wear suits and carry concealed if we have our permit, none of their guys want to do it for some reason. I got in good with the studio ladies, so the wife gets to come to the Disney movies for free and I get to wear a suit and take her out to dinner after, great sex ensues.

Shit's cash yo

>>31190234
the company i worked for had us call ourselves and each other "officer", kind of awkward, but in terms of "power" we were considered essentially a step below law enforcement and a step above security guards

the LP's i knew were absolute fuckheads, the ones that were even worse worked for other companies (thank fuck). one chucklefuck put a goddamn 21" baton in the back pocket of his jeans, his buddy had his in the back pocket of some 5.11 pants (yeah bro nobody will know youre LP, those 5.11's are totes low profile), they didnt do shit because EVERYBODY knew they were LP

most of the other LPs were <20, and hardly had a clue what they were doing, they were also required to make X amount of stops per night so they had a LOT of bad stops

>>31190249
i had a love/hate relationship with movie promos, i hated that i couldnt carry, liked that i wore my company polo because it was comfy and looked slick, loved that there was 0 paperwork to do, hated that our NODs never worked, but i got FUCKING PAID TO WATCH MOVIES! It was great in order to fill hours without picking up a full shift, super relaxed, and a good portion of the time we got told either by our studio rep or by the theater manager to just sit down and relax. fuck, we even got free food and drinks out of it. however i have a burning hatred for Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl; i have seen that shit four fucking times, it was good the first time, OK the second, and the 3rd and 4th were just fucking painful

The reason for the "officer" thing is simple. An "officer" is an alert, professional, on point employee. A "guard" is a sleepy old fat fuck who gets snuck past by the bad guys.

Its literally a psychological thing. Just trying to put them in the right mindset. It's dumb as fuck.

>>31187418
worked with a guy who said he was a memeber of a specops unit called (and I swear to god Im not making this up) the "golden lions" in vietnam and that they wear so elite that if any member called for assistance anywhere in the world that the other members would show up in an hour.

he stopped telling that particular lie after I asked exactly how the golden lions got around the world in an hour. also he would have been a teenager during vietnam.

he also swallowed his dip juice.

while smoking.

the worst part was i constantly caught lazy fucks

>dude fired for sittin in the back of a safeway watching youtube
>dude fired for taking a "lunch break" for 4 fucking hours, found in Taco Bell across the street sleeping
>walked in on a dude, sitting in a chair (on a site that was strictly no sitting unless on break) watching youtube videos, didnt notice me standing in front of him
>dude fired for flirting with chicks during an event instead of doing his fucking job
>manager fired for being a lazy fuck and not managing patrol, under him we were constantly double scheduled, had our schedules redone 6-8 times each month, etc
>dude quit because he was on a hands off site, got pissy that he couldnt arrest shoplifters, had a fit and quit (best part he was like 50 and spoke in broken english), also was fuckin up on his paperwork and showing up late
>dude fired for taking 4+ breaks in an hour and encouraging others to do so (had to work with him, he was a fucking retard)
>had to explain four fucking times to a guy that free parking MEANS FREE FUCKING PARKING, there is no fucking sign saying "FREE PARKING", just fucking park anywhere on the street

every notion of "professionalism" went out the fucking window the second you met the VP of the company, he was a fucking hothead who just wanted to play rambo and boss people around

>>31188319
>My second job is one I work on the weekends, which is armed security for the FAA at the local major airport. What I do is me and a buddy guard the control tower and all the equipment they need, computers, etc. Very easy job, indoors in air conditioning the whole time, and don't have to worry about intruders, since there is some pretty advanced security systems in place before you would even reach where I am. Pay is a little lower, at only $17.80 an hour, but for sitting around reading and occasionally walking around for 8 hours, it is easy money. Plus I get a parking pass for a lot right next to the terminals, which I can use when I go on vacation.

Im guessing you're with Whitestone, if thats still who has the FAA contract...

you should keep in mind that the FAA is actively trying to cut as many of the guards from their towers as they can, I worked at tower that lost their guards 2 years ago.

its possible, but it certainly wasnt work related, namely because every opportunity he had he would call out, or just straight up not show to his shift, and he had only been on site for ~3 hours and had a day off prior, if he was exhausted it would have been on his own time and he should have managed his ass better. i admit, i did pass out on shift once, ill post that story, might as fucking well

>we always joked about it being just a large gym, by end of shift you were exhausted, shifts were either 10 or 12 hours there

I am the Sergeant of a three-man Rapid Tactical Force at one of America’s largest indoor retail shopping areas. Although there are typically between fifteen and twenty normal security officers working the beat there, we decided a while ago that it would be best to have a specilized force for violent individuals. We use modified electric vehicles and can be anywhere on a given floor within eight and a half minutes.Naturally, the regular security people are unarmed. We “RTFers”, by arrangement with the local police, carry high-strength OC spray and batons. If we have a full tactical alert and permission from the local LEOs we also have a Mossberg 500 with less-lethal rounds and two K-frame Smith .38s loaded with 158gr. LRN.Basically, the situation is that we get the call, we lock up the situation, put everything five by five, and cordon the area until the local authorities arrive. We’re cops, we just don’t get the glory.

Anyhoo, last year I made the decision to trust my life on the street to Second Chance body armor. I got the level IIa because it stops the most rounds. plus I got the Trauma Plate for the front.

What scares me is that, although I can fit an extra trauma plate in the front, I cannot fit a second one in back. As of late I have taken to duct-taping a second trauma plate to the area of my back where the heart and vital organs are located. Then I put my vest on.

Here is the questions. The ducttape solution, although tactically sound, is hot and painful to remove. I would like to go to the single-plate solution in back. What I am worried about is repeated hits to that area with .308 ammunition. I have a high-risk security job and I fear that I would be the target for repeated long-distance shots to my back.

Are any of you aware of a thicker plate that could stop, say, .338 Lapua or something like that? Is there a better way to do the second plate?

Sorry about the plate for ants

Oh they were, if any work was needed on the patrol cars we had to do it ourselves, and all the tiny shit like spare lights were always gone and never replenished. I went a solid month without a headlight, and 2 months with my check engine light on, one of our cars had its front bumper zip tied and duct taped to it. If an oil change was needed we were told to "just drive it to jiffy lube" while on shift, which wasn't going to work as we needed to do our patrol stops, and they were also closed once we got on shift. It was a fucking mess, they even managed to fuck me out of my pay despite their claims that the problem was "fixed", when I cited that as a reason for quitting they begged me to stay and promised they would take care of it that day, after months of dealing with their lies I told em to shove it.

Im in MD on one of Paragons many contracts. They have decent pay across the board, but a shit tier level of higher ups that really dont give a shit about their employees well being.
The contract I work is one of the higher paying ones and we are pretty independent from higher in our day to day operations....but because they seem to go out of their way to treat us like shit turnover is high as fuck...hence the 80k plus a year in OT.

We have a big fence around our building so if you cross that you are automatically in the wrong, this works both ways. As far as use of force, we have the same escalation of force rules everyone in the industry does. I just meant that if there is someone fucking with our parking lot, building or any of our shit, we are expected to get involved instead of lay low and call the cops. I mean we do have guns for a reason!
Apart from the constant OT its semi-chill.

I think his record was 4 in a day, first had a guy working 9 days 1 off and then working another 5 days, next 2 had people double scheduled, and the last one had some people not scheduled at all

After he got chewed out he sent an email saying to ignore all of them and a new schedule would be out the next day, that schedule was not written by him alone

All of this guys schedules had somebody getting absolutely fucked

Included in my education. It's specifically education for security work.

Also I already have most of those skills, I just lack in excel but luckily there's classes for that too.

>>31190015
Basically it's cop school with no guns. Jobs? Mallcop. Still no guns.

I'm aiming to get pretty high up in the field. I do this stuff, succumb to conscription, and see if the FDF wants to keep me or if I'm going to further educate myself.

Aiming for work in the military or plausibly at a nuclear powerplant. Because a nuclear powerplant isthe only place where I'd get easier access to a carry permit and I'd get a gun for work. This is naturally in the private field.

Government jobs go from military work, security at government offices, or possibly at a embassy but in the case I get a job at an embassy I'd also get partial diplomatic immunuty. IE. Working as security in a embassy/for an ambassador.

Tl;dr I chose this career path because it's one of the easiest ways for me to earn €'s and It's also a valid route for me to finally lift my noguns curse. And It's something I want to do. The education is pretty harsh but the work is chill here.

Mainly drunks to worry about at a basic level.

Also going to pick up hunting next year. Possibly range shooting too.

All according to my plans in order to ease my acquisition of guns legally.

All in all thanks /k/ all I need to do now is keep putting my plans into action

Patience really is a virtue.

I'm a flex, but only for Google sites. I work five to six days a week (seven if I'm not busy that day and they ask nicely) and it alternates between graveyard and swing, but the last few months it's been 75% grave. Easy as Fuck, my site I'm usually at is literally a desk in a lobby, screwing around on 4chan and akfiles all night on my laptop. Occasionally a googler will come in and I will need to activate a new badge, and I unlock the doors for the construction guys that are remodelling some of the building. It is absurd how well this job pays for what I do. Also-

I'm a beat cop with semi-rotating shifts in a large county. I'm not gonna gas about patrol work and how shitty it occasionally gets, but for anyone on the fence go ahead and go for it.

Myself and several co-workers regularly work extra "security" type gigs that always always pay $35-$50 /hr cash and/or check.

I've literally stood right next to Securitas in an office building during layoffs getting paid $40/hr to do the same shit.

I'm not bragging btw, just putting it out there for security bros, it's worth considering making the jump.

Sounds much better than what I was. District flex for my entire area, worked all three shifts, did tons of 8hr turnarounds, got called in on most of my days off due to people not showing up. It was hell. My operations manager didn't want to give me up, said I was too important to promote (am shift super now), got into a fight about it, told him he just told me I need to look for another job since I have no upwards mobility. Almost done with school, can't wait to give my 2 weeks notice.

Hospital Security here.

Pay's not bad, lots of cute nurses and such, great benefits and paid time off.

The problem is of course, people. I used to feel bad for the homeless, now there's nothing but contempt. And if you're an addict, whether to alcohol or drugs, do the world a favor and kill yourself. I'm sick of dealing with DTing fuck-ups who want to leave at three in the morning because the withdrawal hit.

I also work in a college town, specifically the college's hospital, so you can imagine what it's like dealing with the entitled brats.

Couple of years ago, a /b/tard tried robbing a liqueur store and got brought in for psych eval. Dude was nuts. But during triage, he thought it'd be a great idea to call his cop a taco nigger, then laugh and yell "U mad bro!?!"

Never seen a cop twist cuffs that hard. It was magical.

>>31191008
why would I lie? literally what do i have to gain from it? I went from a college software engineer, to working for a major defense contractor, got sponsored for a TS/SCI clearance so I could work on a classified contract, and then pivoted over to a hybrid tactical IT / system deployment job that was in support of various SF customers. you fucking think they let SF touch NSA/CIA/NGA/etc systems? do you know anything about the politics and procedures in the DoD field, specifically intelligence and the restrictive nature of the IC and its involvement in title 10/title 50 activites?

>>31191008
i was going to provide help in how to market yourself to getting said positions, but fuck you now. the IC is really small; having a clearance is literally all people care about. I got offers to be a classified translator because I can speak german; paid $90,000 a year. I had absolutely no credentials, no testing, nothing. the contracting and IC world is pants on head retarded.

Former G4S employee here, spent almost 4 years pretending I was something more than a glorified hall monitor. If there's one thing I learned is that your post makes or breaks the whole job for you. Once spent six months being posted to a monitor room at a local factory, doing 24 hour shifts. Shit was sweet beyond all reason. I used to come in at 7 A.M., sit my ass down in front of a bank of monitors, and basically spend the first 12 hours pretending that I'm doing something when really I was just reading magazines and listening to the radio most of the time, while occasionally buzzing someone through a gate or checking in with the shift supervisor about how everything is normal. Then the night shift would roll in, and I'd lock the entire place up since the only other person left overnight was the night supervisor, as production was being automated during night time, and he was sitting in his own office on the other side of the factory. And then I'd spend the remaining hours kicking back and watching movies or playing Civilization on my laptop. Shit was good, the hourly pay was great, and honestly I probably could've spent years in that post.

And then I got transferred to money collection and transportation duty, since I was one of the longest working and most trusted employees in my district. Should've quit right there, but being the idiot I was back then, I went on doing what was possibly the worst job I've ever done in my life, until one day some shit went south and I took a knife to the back and a baseball bat to the head. Guess my luck needed to run out sooner or later.

So, to summarize, if anyone's looking for a job in security, make sure you're gonna be posted in some monitor room. Otherwise, don't even bother.

>>31191075
G4S employee here (Flex, 7 months in), finishing my masters degree in September. This anon speaks the truth - the night shift jobs are the best. Runner up best jobs are low human interaction posts like factories, industrial sites, etc. My personal favorite post is this plant that makes those expensive ass sleep number beds and for some reason I get to CC a glock 19.

I'd say any bank, ever. Especially if you've got to be the fucker who hauls shit in and out, since now you've not only got to protect it, but also do some proper weightlifting while on the job. All while running a risk of some crackhead trying his luck and popping you with his saturday night special from around the corner.

Seriously, fuck bank gigs, and fuck truck gigs.
