Marijuana security

The devil will be in the details, but it is a good first step. Anyone allowed to carry a firearm in the scope of employment can be and should be screened. It may also deter some who should not be carrying.

As far as your comments on the MMPI - it is recognized as a legitimate screening...

I don't know - its still illegal under US federal law, although soon to be legal across Canada. That aside, I think the danger factor to guards and drivers will only increase as the business becomes more lucrative...

This was the dumbest security detail I ever worked. You can't win - the owners get miffed because you had the audacity to ask them if they lived there (because, you know, I should know all 900 residents by name); the trespassers get mad because they got caught.

I had one boss who had...

OK, ok, you guys have made your point. Steve, I will only say that yes, when I used my personal vehicle as my patrol rig I did carry enough stuff to make the front seat my office and the back seat my kitchen. An emergency kit (for earthquakes, or even getting stuck in traffic for four hours like I did...

My bad - although I have no idea why you would call a parking officer a "physical security specialist" other than title inflation. OK to move to burn barrel or just delete.

Finally got around to watching some of the games. Actually kind of interesting. The only thing I don't like about it is soccer players appear to be like NBA players, i.e. constantly flopping dramatically on the ground to try to get a foul on the other player. I also don't get why the goalies wear...

"...Nuclear Combat toe to toe with the Russkies and 100s of armored divisions VS 4 crazy Arabs hiding in a cave." Ease up a bit, Squid. If you're fighting guerillas and insurgents, you have to outnumber them, not match them. I also knew a guy that dealt with IEDs and all the stuff over there...

Yeah, the lonely machines archive is a bit confusing even though they do throw in some commentary. Gecko's posts are where the term "mall ninja" came from. He started posting on the Glock forum with some ridiculous question about trauma plates for his special team at the mall; the discussion...

Never been to any of mine - the three good friends I had in school I still keep in touch with. (And yeah, one guy I've known since the first grade also.) I went to an elitist private school and came from a middle class family, so I didn't have much in common with the Richie Rich crowd.

Yeah, I do too - I can actually get to a call faster on foot than trying to get around in the shopping center with a bunch of soccer moms in their SUVs screaming at each other for the closest parking place. Part of my job is to make sure night shift has everything they need, and they do vehicle patrols...

Ours is pretty well equipped, but since I don't drive much, I'm curious. What do you carry that maybe isn't required but makes the job easier? We have the basic stuff like a road kit (flares, traffic cones), first aid kit, chalk for marking tires, etc. When I do drive I always make sure there's a...

The mainstream media in its political correctness will never publicize it, but I've enjoyed the studies (scientific and social) that have quietly come out in the last few years that say the same thing: children need a mother and a father, and the father's role is not secondary. All the people I know...
