Okay, we all know that TV always shows security guards as old retired man sitting in a gatehouse or sat in a hut on a building site or they are younger guys who are "wannabe policemen" and are usually thicker that a plank of wood.
Sadly, in 905 of security, this is true. But there are exeptions.
Consider that since the introduction of licencing, the wannabes and diddery old men are becomming a thing of the past.
Just check your local shooping centre and you will see a professional team of dedicated staff, who are well trained and probably detect more crime than your average bobby.
Since the police no longer routinly attend intruder alarms on buildings, offices factories etc, some companies rely on private security to respond to an activation. That officer has to go and check for intruders, secure premises, preserve evidence and so on.
So come on, lets have a cheer for Security Guards and next time you see one, say thankyou...
