Where are those Detex Keys/ToCo buttons?

[HotelSecurity]

This peaked my curiosity so I hired a physic detective and she said that she sees a young security guy removing them one by one over the last 26 years so that he won't have to key them. Hmmm I wonder who that person could be?

Not the same security guy who "accidentally" dropped the Detex clock in the pool, was it?

a seroius note though there is this epoxy stuff you can use to secure them, that wont soft to unsecure unless you use a certain chemical, my company uses it to assure kids dont go stealing those little buggers...

Kids are smart these days and can find a solvent that will remove them.

Another guard at a site I used to work at got caught peeling the Detex points off the wall (The buttons were stuck on with little tabs of 2 sided tape) and attaching them to a large piece of plywood. He would then sit in the office playing XBox and hit the buttons all night, without ever doing a patrol. (One man shift . . .)Then, about half an hour before the end of his shift, he would run around and replace all the buttons. He finally got caught when one of the day shifters accidentally came in early, before he had time to replace the buttons and caught him. He ratted him out to the Director and in short order the guy had a lot more time to legitimately play XBox . . .

Did this REALLY happen where you worked? I've heard versions of this story for years & always thought it was an Old Wives Tale or urban myth!

I had one post where there were detex keys within 10 feet of each other. The company paid per key hit.

Key 1: Start of Tour Key at Guard Shack.

Key 2: Fence Gate next to Guard Shack where client (government) owned vehicle was.

Key 3: 150 feet away at entrance to Coast Guard Air Station. (Empty USCG Gate House)

etc.

I'm glad that you also heard the same story as I did to and I think it was posted somewhere on this forum about 5 months ago.

These systems have their place, but at colleges and shopping malls? Most of these places have more then enough work to keep the officers very busy. Why add another task??
