I was wondering if any one could offer some advice and suggestions. It seems like in Florida any organization is out to represent the agencies and there are no group or groups to advocate on behalf of the actual Security officers. SO my thought was trying to create a state wide organization that is an advocate for the armed officers. Armed officers in Florida come in two types new younger officers and older retired mil/LEO. There is no group that you can go to to get assistance in finding personal Liability Insurance to help protect your self, just in case. There is no one who S/O's can turn to if they are Charged by DoL for a violation. And last there is no group out there trying to change the publics perception of what Contract S/O's are. S/O's here can make any where from $8hr-$15hr depending on supervisory and hourly contract rate. One of the reasons most guards get a bad rep is because there are places that pay $8hr that go unsupervised where the officer believes he is getting paid to wake up for clients. And lots of these guards are caught asleep often. And the company and Property manger don't seem to care.
SO i talked to my attorney and he tells me creating a Not-for profit company to help represent S/O's who chose to be members is possible the question is is there enough people who would be interested and would it be worth while.
As an aside my intent is something similar to the FOP but for Security Officers.
SO AM i wasting my time?
