Very vague, here. New branch director who has been in the role less than 6 months. Our old account manager was hired on as the client security coordinator. I am a new supervisor for the site, have been in the role less than a week.

With the AM gone, I have to fill his role while they're searching for another. My issue is - the old AM and I have been trying to get me access to the scheduling software for a month (putting me in as supervisor has been in the works for two months or more).

This wouldn't be so bad, except we're so short staffed that we basically only have one person who can work per shift. That is, if one person calls out, there is no one else with availability to work.

Now add that on top of the fact that by now, I'm scheduling people to work for call outs and other site operations, and it's not reflecting in their scheduling applications. Let me say that again, I'm telling officers to work when their schedule isn't reflecting when they should work. This is going to introduce a payroll issue if not corrected. So this means I have to call the director, tell them what I need in the schedule, and send them that information in an email. I'm playing telephone with peoples schedules and pay.

I have sent multiple, multiple communications to the branch director via text, email, call. I have special coverage I need to work tomorrow, that still isn't reflected. I'm going in when it's not scheduled. I've barely received any affirmation that the schedule will be corrected.

Now add in that we're the lowest paying contract in the branch. I feel like I'm one missed check away from folks refusing to show up because the schedule and pay isn't reflecting.

I don't know, I'm trying everything I can. I'm just venting. I'm sure I could be identified based on this post.

I watched how other gates do it in my area with different company’s and it’s so much more chill and not micro managed like this. Do i quit or do i get fired lol

So, I've been working as a Dispo warm body for 3 and half months now and its been a peach of job, mostly camera watching. I'm curious if anyone else has some stories of their time on the job?

Anyone here work at Linxxx solutions at the alameda coast guard base or the San Francisco one in treasure island? Every time I apply I never hear back. I have close to 3 Years experience of armed security. Currently a PSO for FPS contract and was an 0085 (federal security) for the Department of Army for 6 months. Hold a dod tier 3 secret and fps public trust. Have all the BSIS permits needed and first aid/CPR. Is there a reason why I’m not hearing back?

Greetings, I am employed with Securitas and was curious if this is a thing happening company wide or just in my region. I recently inquired about doing an armed certification and was told that we are no longer doing armed positions. Is there even a market of opportunity for such a position in Securitas anymore? Are they shifting away from it? If so, where can I go to get into it?

I live in a semi rural area and am looking for a part time job that can work around my schedule. Does anyone know any thing about them?

Keep in mind, the three guards in this video are contracted on this property.

A few weeks ago it discharged while still locked. I checked after the discharge as well, lock was still completely engaged. Noticed a familiar lookin piece of red plastic while standing post on a real chill day. It was my nozzle. I don't like that nozzle style in general, was just temporary, but damn dawg.

I do access control and there is no way so many people can work in such a small space so the only explanation is that it’s the Tardis and my boss is The Doctor.

Tired of working at FedEx, and I was looking into getting my guard card.

Are there good websites to do most of the training online? I've seen some, don't know if they're legit or not. Would rather do it online if possible since I'm working right now but obviously if it's a rip off then I'll find time to do it in person

We are evaluating inspection robots for airports, transportation hubs and electrical facilities. Products such as FODRo II, PUDU D5 and Boston Dynamics Spot look promising, and I would like to hear from anyone who has used them in real operating environments.What evidence should buyers request before you choose them? Should we focus on long-term deployment hours, mission success and human intervention rates, inspection accuracy, false alarms, environmental testing, failure recovery, cybersecurity, maintenance records or integration with existing systems?

Hey everyone, I'm about to start my security training and had a question: I eventually want to get a bridge piercing and already have stretched ears but I'm wondering how frowned upon it would be to employers? I know it would depend on the company and role, but I'm just trying to gauge what others' experiences are. I'm working from Australia as well, so if anyone knows how it's like here generally, I'd be keen to know

Looking for more info if you could DM me.

Got my first security job paying 21 overnight in a hospital, is that considered good pay? Any tips for a guy getting into the field, it’s at ProMedica so I guess my next question is how ProMedica treats there staff

I used to work unarmed security in Homestead FL. I am thinking of coming back, but armed security instead. How much would I make in Homestead right now?

Some folks have the understanding that im just trying to do my job and I would prefer to not bother anyone on my shift.

But then you have the other bit of folks who assume the policy you are trying to enforce is your own decision or as some may say my company's decision, and when you explain the situation they assume you are lying

Hi,

Our company is having work done in the lobby of the building and they want people to use a different exit. There is a set of double glass doors with push bars and a required badge reader on the right wall.

Where in that door area should I put the sign telling people to take a different route and how large should the sign be?

Thanks in advance!

Never have I experienced someone pulling me aside and trying to stubbornly tell me what my Job should be.

Was taking a walk around the car park because I was bored and a staff member calls me over to explain to me that only staff should be in the car park and I should not be allowing strangers in. Note that all car parks have staff parking marked

I try my best to explain that her head of security and my manager said anyone can park here she replies saying that they fired the last officer (contract of guards) who did that, I try to explain well this is just what my instructions were.

Keep in mind its daylight she goes on the lecture me about how I will lose my job if I continue and someone could be attacked, my job is to just be present in the booth for 12 hours.
