security officers playing cop

[Hank1]

They were running illegal lights and siren on their vehicles and operating beyond their scope of training and authority. Hold them accountable for their crimes.

Amen EMT! Amen!

I went to the website, or rather, a website for DWBsecurity. It was a joke.
I mean, it was an actual joke! There was a joke on the first page, and none of the links lead to anything about the company. Maybe it was hacked.

Someone hit reset on their copy of Joomla, a content management software program that makes it easy for site owners to update content. What you're seeing is the sample data that comes with the Joomla installation, to make it easier to understand what the hell you're doing with the program.

I guess he thought it looked cool! Unfortunately, to the average individual it just helped solidify what most think about us ( unprofessional wannabes). With his arms folded, leaning up against a car, hat backwards and a sour puss look on his face. He simply looks like a dumbass!

Be Safe,

Good point SRT! I did not consider that. Unfortunately for him, it was on their marked vehicle, nice and big! LOL!

OMG! This is angering.

Let me throw out a question.... Are there any circumstances that you would engage in a vehicle pursuit as a security officer? I'm not saying these guys did it right, but how about for a much more serious crime, such as a child that has just been kidnapped and you witnessed it? Just observe and report, or go after them?

If a child was kidnapped, I would not sit and watch. Would I give chase? Absolutely. Would I run lights and siren? Hell no. I would follow them, and I would relay as much information as possible to PD dispatch about the vehicle, suspects, direction of travel, speed, etc. I would follow them for as long as possible, and hope that PD responds fast enough. If PD dispatch tells me to back off, then I would back off.

Those air conditioner units are covered by insurance, and do not merit some "hollywood" chase. If you can follow them safely from a distance, then do so if your employer allows. When you are talking about a human life, then I would do what any other reasonable person would do, and the fact that I am employed as a security officer is entirely irrelevant.

You took the words right out from under my fingertips. Well put.
