Most Security Saleries do depend on the nature of the work, type of oufit {Priviate, Contracted, or corporate} Corporate is the place to make any kind of money in my opinion. - Contracted Security isn't about taking care of thier officers, they're about beating out the competition, making money, and keeping thier business alive. - Priviate is what it is - Priviate.
Example, I work in Corporate {Major Northeast Refinery Complex with an estimated 3500 employees} My department is charged not only with security but we are the EMTs, Firefighters, Rescue Technicians, and Hazzardous Material Technicians. Security is our main responsibility but as you can see we get involved in everything. My salary far outweighs the average security guard in that I have multiple responsibilities. I'm well taken care of - no doubt - I have a 25 year 100% Pension, 401K, Full Family Medical Plan, Profit Sharing {About $4000.00 Check every Year - Basically a bonus} all the equipment to do my job effectively {And if we need something we're given the credit card and told to go get it} - We have expense accounts for travel - Yes I'm a Security Officer but I have it pretty good including a brand new 2007 Ford F-150 Patrol Vehicle and work schedule that can't be beat.
I also can be injured and/or killed faster than most security officers. Terrorisim is the main reason our unit was created - A Refinery is a dangerous place and we're more vulnerable than a bank, armored car, shopping mall, office building, maintenance yard, or truck scale where most security officers flurish. And we're not armed....Not yet.
