We allow each Security Specialist to determine if he / she wishes to wear a vest on their own, although we prefer it, however, the vest carrier is part of the patrol uniform and must be worn.
4:30 I work in armed security, since when can you detain someone for trespass? It's a misdemeanor, and we aren't cops. Maybe the laws are different in Colorado, but in Ohio, you can only detain when someone has committed a felony, and in those instances you are only detaining them until the police arrive. There are exceptions, such as when someone steals from a retail establishment and you are acting as an agent of the retailer, then your legal authority becomes similar to loss prevention, but again you are only detaining until the police arrive.

What is with these wannabe cops. If you want to be a cop then be a cop. But these companies are for ex-cops that have been fired for shooting an innocent person, etc.
@@theawesomegamer_ Is a paramedic a "wannabe" doctor? Simply because an individual has a similar position to another more "prestigious" position, may utilize similar tools, have similar training or wear a clothing that is close to another role does not make that individual a "wannabe". There are many levels of different professions and mocking one because it does not meet the perceived standard of someone looking from the outside only shows your ignorance, not ours. Our personnel receive much of the exact training of that of law enforcement, handle many of the same types of calls as law enforcement and utilize most of the same tools as law enforcement not because we are "wannabees", but because obviously, those tools, training and duties performed make sense for those in the profession being served. I'm sorry if you feel that all security personnel should be running around on a Segway and severely uneducated, however, the reality is that there is your perception of the world and there is the real world and we exist in the latter.
Tl;dr - There is no such thing as a "low risk" shift or a "low risk patrol". Period. End of story. Why? Because no security or police officer clocks in and gets to decide what other people are about to do tonight. You do not get to decide that "tonight, nothing unusual will happen. No one will be where they arent supposed to be, doing what they arent supposed to be doing, and they will totally comply if I just talk to them nicely." THEY decide that. People you may or may not have ever met or seen before, who may be locals or from out of town, etc. And YOU dont decide if they have weapons and want to use them, THEY do. And if you are unwilling to accept these simple facts, then at the very least you should not be walking around with a gun as part of your job...I say that for YOUR protection, as well as for everyone elses. Perspective - It highly concerns me that an Officer (security or peace) in 2024 would be performing any sort of patrol function and seems to not carry any form of IFA while seeming to also lack body armor, all while working armed. There is no valid excuse for that. If you can afford a nice fleet of vehicles and a dedicated dispatcher, you can afford to put plates in those vests you issue these Officers. Much of what I see out of this company is better than many other companies, but if you are not providing armor and mandating they be worn at all times while in uniform, then that is a major red flag. It is also highly disturbing that the only options this Officer has given himself (and by extension, this company has given him) is his hands and a gun for any situation that doesnt go politely. Im not saying you need to look like you are jumping into Fallujah with a bunch of "TactiCool" crap, but come on...not even some $15 OC? No other options to defend himself from harm except to fight for his life or go straight to ending the other person. That is setting him up not only to fail in the street, but to absolutely fail in a court room if he doesnt end up in a box. If you want to wear minimal gear, be unarmed. But if you are going to carry a firearm in the course of your duties, you have a responsibility to yourself and to those around you to be able to protect yourself and to be able to help others. Heaven forbid you have to use your firearm, and in the struggle you hit the "bad guy" a couple times but hit some random person down the way too...now all you got for them is an "Im sorry" or a "I didnt mean to" while they suffer. No TQ to stop their bleeding in a arm or leg, no chest seal to maybe save their life if they got hit in the torso, nothing. Just "oopsie". Smh. You can get this stuff off Amazon, the legit real name brand things. Again, no valid excuse for this. I very much appreciate each and every company that is trying their best to actually look professional and run their operation professionally. Professional uniforms that dont try to make their Officers look like some dated mall cop from the 90's. An actual fleet of good looking and respectable vehicles that arent just old CPVI's on their last rusty legs and tahoes with paint chips flying off every shift with giant goofy yellow SECURITY on the side as the only identifier, or worse...some little smart car or Nissan Versa with a tiny flashing light on top. Actually trying to have an Operations Center where each shift starts and ends with getting folks on the same page and ensuring good and steady communication when out in the field. There is much going right here, and I applaud it. BUT as great as all of this is, its all worthless if the individual Officers are not properly equipped when they hit the streets, in terms of knowledge and in terms of actual kit. If there is no one above straight up TELLING this Cpl "Hey, youre looking a bit light on gear Corporal. Where is your less lethal? Where is your body armor? Where is your TQ? Why are these not on your person?" then that is a problem with the culture of this company. And if the response would be this nonsense "Well its a low risk shift tonight" BS, then that speaks even louder. There is NO SUCH THING as a low risk shift. It doesnt exist. WE DO NOT GET TO DECIDE WHAT HAPPENS OUT THERE. WE DO NOT DECIDE IF THINGS WILL BE RISKY OR NOT. The bad guys and the stupid guys, those are who get to decide just how risky a shift is going to be. I know a Security Officer who was shot trying to do nothing more than lock up the apartment laundry room for the night while their body armor was in the back seat of their car. "Low risk" nice apartments. Never had an incident in years. Had an incident that night though, because he said "hey buddy, Im about to lock up for the night. How much longer you gonna be?" That was it. Camera verified thats all that was said and done. He decided it was "low risk". Stupid guy decided to make it a "life ending" shift. Just a few weeks ago another Security Officer was shot and then executed at a farmers market in the early morning hours of his shift. Why? Because a couple of teenagers were about to try and steal the company golf cart and he came around the corner and just said "Hey! Yall better get out of here!" That was it. He was shot and wounded, in pain on the floor, and then the kid walked up to him and shot him in the head before running off. I repeat, there is no such thing as a "low risk" shift. Not every Security Officer needs to be running around looking like a super soldier, but if you are going to work a job with a gun and especially in a patrol setting, you should have armor and some IFAK. Otherwise, frankly, you have no business doing what you are doing. I dont care if you have been doing it for 20 years, that doesnt change the facts, and the facts are in. Plenty of fuds swore up and down by how they did it, until they had to face facts. Techniques, tactics, and equipment evolve, as does the world we live in. Equip yourself with knowledge, then equip yourself with the proper gear. Remember, you can OVER prepare thousands of times...but you can only UNDER prepare once.

i have done corrections work for the last 17 years, before that i did loss prevention/security work for 12 years. This looks like a good security program. i will be retiring soon, do you have patrols in northern colo?
Im surprised the property management does not require the names of the tenants in the pool after hours. Seems like a violation of the lease and in my experience my apartment contracts require all information of the tenants in these circumstances.
On many of the contracts, we do gather the names of the individuals - it is purely based on different factors, such as how long after hours it is (we generally would not gather that for people who are just in the pool for an extended time past the closing hours vs. someone who clearly jumped a fence after hours), the policies of the property and even the overall attitude of the people who we are speaking with. Usually, people simply understand and move on. If clearly after hours and they trespassed by jumping a fence, we would handle that situation much differently. Great question, though!

Sorry but a company like that should not allow their employees to work the field without a proper vest. Theres no excuse for them to be just wearing a vest cover, either work a desk or dispatch until you can get one or that company needs to provide one. Safety first!
@@disneyfan9099 There is no such thing, just like there is no such thing as a "routine traffic stop" for cops. I can understand some Allied guy sitting in a parking booth handing out parking passes for $10 not wearing protection, but if you are in any sort of "patrol" funciton (foot or car, apartment or HOA, whatever) there is really no valid excuse to have a firearm but no armor, ESPECIALLY if you are going to rock such a minimal kit which lacks any form of medial aid, even something as cheap and easy to carry as a TQ. (and no, having it buried in a bag somewhere in the car doesnt count. If you dont have it with you when you need it, then you dont have it.) Security having proper gear isnt "doing too much", its the ones doing jobs like this and lacking proper equipment that are not doing enough.

@@Denver-metro-protective every person assigned to the "patrol" function should be required to wear the armor. And it should be provided to them. A nice fleet of vehicles should come second to Officer Safety.
I'm a law enforcement officer in Canada. 1 wouldn't be a bad idea to have security markings on the back of the vest. 2. Love the officers showing the gear load out and what they carry and why. 3. Are the vest empty? Or do they have plates in them? Looks empty
I'm a retired security officer and I can actually tell you yes when you are the only people on site when something happens. And PD hasn't gotten there yet yes technically you are the first responder., and I had training officers in supervisors who reinforced that during training over and over again
@@dob3079 We currently respond to more than 2500 calls for service per month, ranging from suspicious people (yes, we get those daily) to noise complaints to burglar alarm responses to other non-emergent reasons that can be handled by someone other than law enforcement. But thanks for letting us know that we don't get these calls. That'll make our world so much easier.
That's false. When I worked for allied, G4S, Arrow Security, Garda world, the vest was provided to me as well as the firearms, cuffs, OC, pants, etc. Only thing I had to provide myself was my black boots. It really depends who you work for. I currently work for academy district 20 and the vest, weapon, cuffs, OC, pants, duty belt, keepers, all provided. @elix901
I know that sometimes we may joke and poke fun at security companies as LEOs because they often do too much beyond their practice as if they are police officers, however you all seem to act within the scope of yalls service as a very professional agency! I wish we had security companies like yours to assist us with our call load and I love the way yall operate and present yallselves to the public. Stay safe and continue the good work!
Very professional as always. One officer safety issue though. The officer should not be carrying a flash light in his strong side gun hand. Other than that very professional demeanor and conduct.
The presence of a firearm can deter potential threats more effectively than a taser due to the lethal force it represents. A firearm also provides the ability to respond to serious, life-threatening situations where lethal force may be necessary to protect oneself or others. Officer Tilkens is an experienced military veteran and is definitely responsible enough to carry a firearm.
@Denver-metro-protective yes it can deter alot if not most people but not all. If someone wants to fight you, you can not shoot them in most instances for that same for if they're just fist fighting someone else and your intervening. You need less lethal options such as OC, Taser, Baton etc. Not all altercations can be resolved with Deadly Force and not all altercations can be resolved with Verbal De Escalation. When having a firearm you should NEVER be getting into any kind of physical altercation because then it could become a fight for your firearm. Less lethals would help prevent this significantly. Please Think about my comment and adjust your company to make all armed officers carry less/non lethals.
Security officers do carry tasers it just all comes down to officer discretion on how they set up their own belt I don't carry a tazer but I do carry OC and a baton
@OFC.GOTTIE well not all. The officer in this video had No OC, Baton or taser. Also you should really look into getting a taser although the company should provide one. It is by far the best less lethal option to immediately stop a threat when it works properly.
