Security Officers- First Responders?

I work in Armored Transportation(Armed Security). I prefer to not be considered a first responder. While my job isn't actually an On-Site/Patrol Security position, it doesn't seem like given our licenses that we would know the first thing about responding to critical incidents.

Have you seen the retards that work for Signal 88/Securitas/Allied? I wouldn't trust them to wash their ass let alone make critical decisions

 

I would say no. Not saying Security Officers don't deserve recognition but the "Security Officers" I have worked with are worthless. Like oretaco said, the companies he listed will hire anyone lol. They are clueless

 

So here is a weird thing:

I am a non-sworn, uniformed, armed employee of the Sheriffs Office. We are labeled as "Security Officers", we wear different uniforms than Deputies but we have the Sheriffs Office pins on our collars, county shoulder patches. We are in charge of security of the courthouse and all other county buildings. First Responder or No? Not sure where we fall because we respond to disturbance at the courthouse, county buildings during business hours and on an on-call basis. We also do most of the training Deputies do and the same background Deputies have to go through.

 

Shit, wanna talk about worthless. I had an unarmed Paul Blart try to tell me to not carry my gun in the mall. I was at work, in uniform, performing my job as CIT worker.

 

Of course. My favorite is this dude who carries an empty holster lol

 

He's a regular I assume? LOL

 

Haven’t seen him in a while actually. Always confused me because he was just broadcasting he isn’t armed
