Remember when there was talk of making a security association on SIW? Then there was NAPSOA, and Histfan71 throwing fits about how he's a federal law enforcement officer and security guards should only observe and report... And that NAPSOA is evil because they want guards to do more than that...
Anyway... This is me asking, not an Advisor of NAPSOA or a manager at NAPSOA Incorporated. But, you know, me. The one who rarely advertises NAPSOA on this forum, or even really talks about it.
Throw NAPSOA, IFPO, ASIS, and the rest of the acronyms out of the picture for a minute, and I'd like to know a few things.
1. What do you expect a security association, organization, or fraternal order to do for you? Especially in exchange for paying dues to belong to it. (Are we talking politicking, or the cool credit cards and stuff FOP has, or just comradere?)
2. What would you consider a "bearable" dues for the individual officer? We don't make much. Not at all. Some of you know I'm going back into the rat race soon as a uniform. Yearly? Bi-Yearly? Monthly?
3. What do you think the mission of a security association should be?
4. How large of a scope do you think it should be? International, National, State, or Local? Or a combination of those, in a tiered arrangement, like Eagles and Elks and FOP, etc.
Nobody take this as a suggestion that I'm plotting anything, please.
