'You must take a life, or they take yours': CIT security officers recount their horror stories 

This could be avoided with electronic payments

@@JeffLewis7 What about ATM cash? And cash reserves at local bank branches?

@@JeffLewis7 but these guys were carrying mobile phones not money

@x Noblesse why what?

That could aggravate pre-road/in-premise attacks. Crossfire risks increase greatly.

If i was a rich man i would do a huge background check on the workers. Than they would do military training. And i would give them the best possible weapons and more than enough ammo. I would also rig there vans with extra defense

@@frikkiesmit2695 what about their salaries...sound like you only worried about protecting the money in the van

@@AndrewSmith-sy7ws the salaries also. Im actually thinking of their lives boet. I have a friend who does this dangerous job

You wish

@@sabelotyumbu3290 ok and?

It’s their jobs not a requirement.

I wouldn’t say we are “brave” when I did CIT me as well as most of the guys I worked with just liked the adrenaline rush lol. I do ATM escorts now (guarding the actual guys that repair them) for the same reason. It’s exhilarating to stand out there waiting to potentially be robbed.

Most trucks in the us have the pistol ports welded shut. Once they went to semi autos the guns didn’t fit in the port anymore. Plus armored companies don’t want drivers leaving the seat to try to shoot at people. If your hopper gets held up the procedure is for you to drive off and leave them there.

In Afghanistan they didn't stop attacking convoys even when they where escorted by tanks. Maybe they should start moving money with drones or move away from using cash instead🤔

@@PaletoB UAS could provide a significant advantage for tracking attackers' movements to reacquire what is stolen. The problem is a bird capable of such sustained operation would probably cost too much per hour of flight to even be worth guarding trucks like that. I don't know how much each truck tends to be worth and how much profit is made by CIT's like that so I can't speak like I fully grasp the situation, unfortunately.

That’s what a few agencies are thinking of doing.

@@cpt.awesome7281 here’s a thought for you. The armored companies used to give their guards .38 caliber Taurus revolvers. Some recycled some very well used S&W model 10s and they wouldn’t let you use your own gun. They paid barely above minimum wage and the trucks had all seen better days. These days some companies invested in better pay and better trucks. I think brinks is paying out 14 or 15 an hour. They’ve got all new armored P-1000 or better armored trucks and they issue their guards FN-509 9mm handguns. When I left Dunbar and Loomis they let you carry pretty much anything you wanted provided it was a police grade caliber ( 9mm .40 S&W 45 ACP ) I personally had an HK USP 9mm I carried with 5 extra mags. I had a .380 ankle gun, and when I had a big coat on I wanted a serbu super shorty but they wouldn’t let me have that on duty.

Everything must hit close to home for you then

Nah. Until recently the big companies in North America paid guys anywhere from $10-$15 a hour. Only recently has it gone up.

Yes...b real

A lot, of people who put their life on the line, daily, for their job, have family. What,, ya think the dangerous jobs are only done by bachelors?

I would imagine that they do just crooked mfrs on the inside

Everyone got ideas of what they need to do. But it's simple. These guys obviously don't just target any cit hoping it's gonna be carrying a big score like somekind of lucky packet. They need to do what needs to be done everywhere in the damn country. From the justice system to the power and water utilities from the police force to the municipalities and the government. And everywhere in between. They need to stop being fucken corrupt. Corruption is not only the thing that has brought south Africa down to just another African country. It affects the entire continent. Everybody knows it. But nobody really gets it. It literally all corruption.

Here we go again no money is good enough but they real fingers is friends, family, neighbors, acquaintances and witnesses who either stand to benefit, scared because they not the victims or will pinpoint someone who is not close to them. Thugs are not space residents and we know everything and every single one of them. So why not save all lives and blow the whistle while they planning such acts before lives are ended You know they don't have a job most of them yet you accept their money, gifts, jobs and everything. So stop posting fingers to public officials when you got one in your house, neighbor, job, school and everywhere We fail ourselves then blame government and politicians for the thugs we groom. The government does not give birth to children they help curb the crime but we as society can cut it from the tail. Don't point others as thugs and turning a blind eye on your own

Hows the amount of money gonna make them safer? The company might as well then invest that money in escorts.

Way more than 35k

Yes they company can add additional escorts as well but they higher salary will also help cushion the impact on their families in the event of the worst happening. No one said the money will make them bulletproof. It will just ease their minds a bit

Risky job for sure

@MrLoveOneAnother we send prayer to CIT gards

Exactly - and the people who are directors get fat on your hard work Ask me I know I worked with such companies Disgusting

Bad idea buddy , cashless is a trap for you and me

Mainly mining explosives and experience. It is quite easy to syphon explosives from mining operations, even though this is supposed to be heavy regulated.

A lot of "artisanal" miners in Zimbabwe get poorly regulated access to explosives. These are mostly ZANU guys. Some very senior officials will even use their diplomatic immunity for smuggling purposes

Dynamite easy to get in Zimbabwe 😆😆

Said insurance costs more and more with each robbery. Insurance isn't a cornucopia of money, it's the manifestation of a risk pool. We Americans rarely have this kind of nonsense. So far.

@@jamallabarge2665 Yeah. We Europeans don't have it either. So far ;)

(Why does RU-vid leave the thumbs down button if it does nothing?) In the latest census, almost 80% of South Africans professed to be Christian...I fail to see how religion is the only hope. What must they do for Jesus to save them? Should we force all criminals to become Christians? Many of them are, but are driven into crime by circumstances beyond their control. Bad as their crimes are -and I do believe in the death penalty -you rhetoric just simply does not make sense. If your answer is that Jesus will save everyone because he holds all the power, then why did he allow things to deteriorate like this in the first place? If your answer is that he allowed it because people do not pray enough...80% of a 58m population is 46,6m: That's how many Christians are already praying to Jesus. Or is there a specific person that should start praying? Does Jesus allow the suffering of all -despite the prayers of 46,6m -just because a select few are not praying hard enough. Please explain your statement, because to me it simply does not make sense.

You need to be a warrior. If it's your dream job then I'm sure you are.

Managed to get in boed?

I'd be hiring raiders to find the attacks, kill them in their sleep and burn down their homes. I'm from Appalachia.... that's how we roll.

It does not work. At the stage the truck realise it is under attack it lies on its side allready. Some places our highways have 5 to 6 lanes with bumper to bumper traffic. When the fight starts nobody on that highway is prepared to gamble with his/her life - outcome? Thieves win because they surprised their target vehichle and there are about 15 to 20 of them with AK's.
