Well they're pretty well aware the state issues security gun licenses. In fact some of them take time out just to check on our pocket cards and run the serial number of the gun to make sure it isn't stolen and all that junk. What most are unaware of is the actual existence of the Private Security Act and its actual wording in regard to what our job is, what duties we are required to perform, and what duties we are not required to perform. As a matter of fact, I should say 90% of the security company managers are also unaware of what this says. That is pretty alarming to me, considering it regulates our entire position. Ignorance may be blissful, but it sure can get you in trouble.

Quote from a deputy sheriff:
"The state gives you a gun license? I thought being a security guard was like working at K-Mart. You just applied and they gave you a gun."
No concept of Chapter 493. Didn't question that I could carry a gun, just that the state bothered licensing a "security guard" to do so.

Originally posted by GCMC SecurityI can tell you right now what Wackenhut's plan is at Bank of America: Non Interference, you attempt to stop the robbery and fail good bye, if your successful it will be Thank you and Good bye. Wackenhut Bank Officers are instructed to observe and report and nothing else.

A good system I saw at a credit union had the unarmed security guard inside a bullet resistant booth. There was a bullet resistant porch at the entrance. The security guard had to buzz you in AND out. The only problem with this setup was if the crook took hostages.

Originally posted by N. A. CorbierBut that would be a response plan, all they want is liability protection!
I remember the Wackenhut guys posted at SunTrust. They were usually in the parking lot. They carried one pair of cuffs, a .38 revolver, and no ammunition. They were definately visual intimidation only.

One of the best setups for banks is the Man Trap. Allow the person to rob the bank. Allow them to leave. Activate the Man Trap once he's in it. Do NOT open it, for any reason.

Originally posted by HotelSecurityBank guards in Montreal used to be armed. They're not anymore. I'm told that one of the reasons was because when banks were held up the criminals would get away with money. If there was an armed guard they would usually get away with money AND the guard's gun!
