New member here, Hello

Great forum guy's, I have been trolling for about a month now. I will start my new job tomorrow providing armed security duties at a internet gaming facility(I'm told lots of money in and out). Does anyone have any pointers for me, so my OJT will go smoothly? Thanks everyone, and have a safe holiday.

Hello ericb

Welcome aboard to the forum . I wish I had some good answers for you about what to do for your new job, but I will say that you should talk to the people who are important there and see what they feel it is important for you to do.

Then you can run that stuff by your supervisors to see what they think about the info, and possibly implementing some of it into your duties.

Welcome Eric Dealing with money can be a pain. If money hits the floor secure it but don't touch it. Let cashier pick it up.

G'day, welcome to the SIW forums!

I don't work armed (firearm) cash positions but when I do have to deal with cashiers and daily takings, I always prefer to stand where I have the maximum field of vision (of the immediate environment) with my back preferably against a wall

Thanks for the warm welcome guy's, those tips sound helpful. I'll post tomorrow about my first evening/night.

With a name like yours (ours) I should offer a welcome as well.

First night was good, could have been better if I received my OJT as I was told. I arrived with only the night manager to turn to, and just had him show me were things were and asked him what he perfered, as far as my location and patrol techniques. I mainly stayed near the cash register, were he felt was best, as I could watch the survellance cameras from this location as well.
Filled out my DAR every hour, and walked women to their cars.
