[The Night Rider]

I don't know, take it for what it's worth but with all the carriers pretty much operating off the same Towers if one phone won't work in a given location none of them will

What does your employer issue?...

I wish we had more information here. Honestly we don't know if the guard was on a post or if he was waiting outside his apartment for his ride to work. Either way though it would be someplace he was probably at every day at approximately that time.

I think I already said this but if I was...

There's a lot to unpack in this SPECIFIC incident.

1. That guard had no option to carry concealed.

2. I'd bet that he was at THAT location every day, giving the thief ample opportunity to plan his attack.

3. I know quite...

My home state has a requirement that if your employer requires a SPECIFIC uniform they have to provide it.

For instance I worked at a tech company that REQUIRED safety shoes on the shop floor. My employer gave me an allowance of $150.00 a year to buy my shoes from the authorized dealer....

My last assignment this was my issued holster.

The paddle fits against my hip comfortably and I'm able to position the holster so that my arm naturally covers the gun.

The problem with using Ex-cops is their training assumes a duty to respond AND a commission. I've worked with a few Ex-cops that I had to spend the ENTIRE SHIFT reminding them that security is all about OBSERVE AND REPORT....

He specifically refrenced UNEMPLOYED Police Officers. If the cop is UNEMPLOYED he wouldn't be sworn.

Even if you put an active police officer on the post he's NOT going to stop ten or more shoplifters. He can't shoot them for squeezing the Charmin.

The only REAL solution...

What does that even mean?...

There's no way I'd do armed retail security. Someone is going to flashmob that store and some guard is going to start blasting. Then the law suits will commence
