Women in the Security Field

[N. A. Corbier]

We have had one case in the area, that an agencies s/o had cuffed an individual, he had his circulation blocked off to his fingers and sued the Agency and the officer. I havent heard anything else on it so far.

Smart crook will notice you didn't double lock, and start bashing his wrists in an attempt to get an injury suit. Or worse, complain, have you unlock, and then use the tension in the cuffs to get a cuff off and bash you with it.

Cuff someone right the first time, and its the cop's problem uncuffing them.

My loss prevention boss was a female. She was the best LPO we had. Ridiculous amount of felony stops. Thing is, a lot of guys saw her sex as a weakness and she got assaulted several times in the past year. Didn't help that she was making apprehensions while solo.

950,000.00 obtained on behalf of a man who was struck on the head by a hotel security guard causing permanent brain damage. (other cases arising out of brutality by police officers include recovery for a handcuffed individual who was subdued and suffocated as a result of police action; recovery on behalf of a man struck in the head by a Prince George's County police officer; and recovery for a man who obtained a spiral fracture as a result of unnecessary force used in a handcuff procedure).

I was thinking IPC over at Westfield Court or whatever it is in Schaumberg. Nice place, big mall, my GF went to college across the street at an art school (In an office building, no less)...

In other news, that office building complex was funny. I went into the wrong office building at 11 PM, the elderly officer at the desk was like, "Oh, hellos! What floor?" I was not an authorized visitor, signed my name into the book, and said 6. By the way. The name I signed into the book was Frank Castle.

Figured out it was NOT the right building, left by the stairs. Mr. Castle never signed out that night. He may still roam those halls.

Guard had a nice TV, though, built right into the desk console.

Frank Castle...so they have record of a visitor by THE PUNISHER lol....I'd used Logan and just thew in a last name...lol thats funny dude

Lawson nails it on the head, i.e. i could never hit or strike a female cop if she tried to arres me but if it's a male cop I'd have no problem taking a swing at him.

You really don't like Cops, do you? You often quote laws in your posts, Maybe you should check into resisting arrest!

[QUOTE=Marchetti, David, M]Lawson nails it on the head, i.e. i could never hit or strike a female cop if she tried to arres me but if it's a male cop I'd have no problem taking a swing at him. Old school mentality that men should not ever hit a woman, but dirtbags don't follow this rule. When working with a female officer ya I have kept an eye on her for safety, grins but if she's cute in uniform I'll buy her lunch... Good luck with the new job.

Still more fodder for your Connecticut State Legislature. You really can't help yourself....can you? Just how much more unprofessional can you be?

Wow...how lucky for women you work with. You watch out for their safety and buy them lunch for looking cute. What a gentlemen thing to do... haha was that comment for real?

[outofplacevikingfan]

Now a days I think a lot has change, I know of a lot of dirt bags that would care less if your a female or male. If you get in the way they will take a swing or worse, espically the thugs coming up in age now.

One of the best in the Security Guard Industy is a woman I know quite well.
Excellent, well written DAR, informative Incident Reports, vigilant patrols,
and amongst the best at access control. She works for the same contract
Security Guard company as I do. Her Account Manager has told me
she is one his best Guards. Has been chosen for "Officer of the Month"
for this past December. She wears her uniform with pride. Her fellow
Security Officers have told me that they like working with her, as she
is a team player.

As an Account Manager, sadly she cannot work at my post, as there
could be a conflict of interest.

Yes I am a tad prejudice about this particular woman.
She is my wife of 25 years.

Ummm are you guys like anal retentive - here's a dollar go buy a sense of humor and get a life geeshhhhhhh.

You brought all of this on yourself, so don't act all surprised... Granted you have toned down quite a bit in the last couple days, because perhaps it was sinking in that your conduct was over the top. You dug yourself a DEEP hole in the course of a week or two, and it's going to take even longer to get out of it.

Security Chick go armed. I swear you will like it a lot more than unarmed. Especially on pay day. The level of respect goes up dramatically. On one location I do, people have actually come up to me and thanked me for doing what I love to do anyway. In the last month I have had 3 cups of coffee and one guy brought me some sort of Portugese cheese rolls warm from the bakery. Always a little leary about ingesting free stuff but what the heck food poising or lead poising it's a risk we all take Whatever you choose good luck and stay safe.

It frightens me that I know what series that is from.

Females can and do succeed in this industry. I have worked with a few that were top notch.

I'll be honest in saying that sometimes they can upset the "chemistry" of a staff. It has been my experience that where a male officer will tell another male officer he has a problem with something he is (or isn't) doing right to his face. Women officers have been much more likely to run to administration or Human Resources.

Having said that though, I actually prefer a female bosses.
