Welcome to my channel, here we will discuss current trends in public safety and the security field. All comments are welcome but please stay respectful to everyone's opinion.
Man I been working security for almost to years I seen and heard lot of crazy stuff you are so bold of living and working in Chicago please be safe to much crazy people out here god bless u 💯
Yes you are right living and working in Chicago can be very dangerous, I try my best to stay as safe as possible both in my personal life and on duty. The industry of security can be dangerous no matter where you happen to be. Its important to always have good situational awareness regardless if you are armed or not. Thank you for your service and you be safe also.
@@frankieterrell897 yeah that true and upload more videos as well brotha and very true lot of these officer lose their life everyday people ain't nice no more
@bkwil6078 Thanks for stopping by the page and for the good questions. Unfortunately you left a few disrespectful remarks, not only to myself, but a entire honorable career field . Your post has been effectively removed off this channel. I will answer some of your good questions for the sake of my profession and to clear up many misperceptions of the general public regarding the security industry. I say to my fellow Security Officers this is the reason why I stress officers where a body cam when responding to incidents. We cant rely on the general public to understand our job duty's, or not to have stereotypes of our career field. Yes the primary job of a Security Officer, Armed or Unarmed is to observe and report. That doesn't eliminate the fact that Security Officers face real world dangers and threats, or the fact that companies and government agencies hire security officer's to not only protect property but also the lives of employees and customers. Depending on the site or contract an officer is hired to work, or the geographic area in which a contract is located, can both greatly influence the threat level of the job. I have never nor will I ever claim to be law enforcement. Quite often times we as Security Officers are literally the first on the scene, and quite often law enforcement and other first responders depend on us for information and situation awareness. Security Officers don't have the power of arrest typically, but we can detain an offender until law enforcement arrives. Security officers can act in certain situations when a forcible felony is in progress, where loss of life or great bodily harm is imminent. I have been in the business for 15 years now, not only for private companies, but also for government agencies. I’m not only licensed, but trained, and certified in every piece of equipment on my belt both thru licensed companies, and also government agencies. Sorry for the misperception you have, but there is different levels/ tiers to this career field especially when armed. P.S I was given a Back The Blue Bracelet to show solidarity and support for Law Enforcement by a law enforcement officer. I wore it because it’s important especially in these troubling times to support our first responders. The fact is I don't need to wear Thin Blue Line Apparel, we have our own color for the security industry which is Purple. Jeremy DeWitt was never licensed in security nor was he lawfully allowed to carry a weapon. Mr. Dewitt was a convicted felon that ran a funeral escort service. Mr. Dewitt also impersonated being a Licensed Security Contractor to many clients in the State of Florida and other surrounding states. www.securitymagazine.com/blogs/14-security-blog/post/92751-the-thin-purple-line-initiative-approved-by-the-asis-global-board-of-directors?oly_enc_id=5801D1460978G1Y&fbclid=IwAR3mO9P6g0CUpQd7f2QH2p0NI5fVe1dXvTxuVdfmFOoRt9oX9DUKSz70D1c
Thanks for stopping by the page, Truth be told it does take a certain type of person to do this line of work. I will be uploading a Day in the Life video soon. Thank you for your service and stay tuned.
Just ordered a new carrier. Went with the safariland bothell 2.0 carrier in black. I'm armed public safety patrol officer in Seattle. We also are equipped with Tasers, patrol rifles, shotgun, and have retired LE patrol vehicles and are able to get out EVOC licenses to be able to respond to security calls in priority/code 3 level response which allows us to run to call at high speeds with lights/sirens and run red lights. We run all red lights or red and white lights tho.
I also work for a public safety agency, we also run code when needed with Red/Blues. Which is necessary due to the site location near and around city streets, government sector security is a lot different than contract . Be Safe Thanks for stopping by the page.....
Very very nice duty belt set up but Nylon and Velcro suck I know I had that setup at our Hospital. At our PD I use all Safariland basket weave 94 duty belt and Safariland basket weave pouches.
Its funny you mention Hospitals, that's actually where I started off years back in Armed Security. That's the only reason I have stuck with nylon, in my career so far. The fact you can Steam Clean your belt for decontamination from possible blood and bodily fluids, which we use to have to deal with in Hospitals. Nylon does have its drawbacks, maybe in the future I will make the switch. Thank You for Your Service......
@@frankieterrell897 SEMPER FI ARMY AIRBORN RANGER! I WORKED St Luke's Medical center before they switch over to Aurora's. Then I stopped doing that and did armor security to! And my Cop job!
It is really state and jurisdiction specific, also site specific. The only guys I know of that really carry rifles on the regular (State Side), are the Nuclear Power Plant Officer's. But they typically fall under Homeland Security and Anti-Terrorism protections under law. Also whatever a officer carries he/she should be certified with recent qualifications on file with there jurisdiction and company.
The body cam I bought stopped working after 5 months I will not buy anything from Amazon anymore. I’ll buy direct from the manufacturer. It’s miufly brand.
Ive done security work for years and in no state that I know of does the state give security their own badges. That's left up to security companies and alot of them are sown on
Every State or jurisdiction is different, Keep in mind I was not talking about contract security. I work the government sector. Once for the State of Illinois, and another for a local municipality both agency's issued there own Badge. Thank you for stopping by the page!!!
Your company don’t supply your equipment? Not a bad set up. I been thinking of a multi knife. I just have a basic pocket knife, lol. Glad you don’t carry AR mags, lol
Over the years I have worked for a variety of company's and government contracts. Some Companies furnish all your equipment, and others don't. This is my career that I have invested a lot of my life in, so over time I have invested into having my own gear. I am also in the process of starting my own company, so it's important to have my own gear. P.S I cant tell you how many times my multi tool has came in handy in the field. It has definitely paid for itself over time, I believe every officer should consider carrying one. Even though I have a AR, none of my contracts I work require me to carry one, so no need to carry a AR Mag on duty. Thank You for your service...
@@frankieterrell897 gotcha! I’ve worked four companies total between two states throughout different periods of my life. Finally found one that is professional and love it. Plus we do local government contracts as well. This is the first company I’ve worked that supplies everything. I was shocked, lol. Exactly! That’s why I mentioned that, I know security guards that don’t even have AR requirements in their contracts but still carry AR mags, LOL. Good luck on doing your own business! Wish you the best! Thanks for subscribing, BTW. I just post rants and my dislikes. Lol
I thought about it but some of my sites i work are highly sensitive, also other ones I have to worry about the HIPAA LAWS. Thanks for stopping by the page.

Its state specific as far as the laws go, you also must be trained and certified not just in a taser, but everything on your belt. The company must also be certified and licensed. And of course follow the use of force continuum. You obviously are not licensed in this field, otherwise you would know this.
Thanks for the comment, I recently responded to a comment like yours. But just to reiterate. I have no aspirations to become Law Enforcement, for many reasons. Nor do I try to be law enforcement. The facts are the security industry is booming, and I'm already making six figures. Im also in the process of owning my own company. I know what the public perception of security is. Most people look as it as unskilled labor, but that could be further from the truth. Thanks for the comment. Have a good day!!!!
@@frankieterrell897 Yeah. Security Industry has everything from the Level of guys who can barely write and read, to well educated analysts that make more money in a month then some cops in a year. But people only have the lower levels in mind when they talk about security....
As A fellow Officer, you out of all people should know how the industry is. I'm a government contractor, and also part of a legitimate government public safety department. The facts are, what you need to carry depends on where you work. Also the threat level of the site and demographics of the area of the site. It is ignorant to think that all security is the same, there are different levels/ tiers to this industry. If you ever get into government work you will understand.
