Security Guard

Are you trained in self-defense?

Asked by Emilio Suez about 13 years ago

We get minimal self defence training when we get our security licence but everyone that works in the industry strongly advises that you train some sort of martial art. Myself I do ju jitsu and muay Thai

Does the general public treat you with respect, or do they see you as an impotent rent-a-cop?

Asked by DallasR about 13 years ago

It really depends on what area I'm working in. It gets pretty bad in the cbd but the outer suburbs usually arnt to bad

Have you ever caught one of the people on house arrest you were supposed to check up on tampering with or removing their monitoring device? Is that easy to do?

Asked by dan79 about 13 years ago

Personally I have not had any trouble with the people on house arrest they are usually pretty good because they know if they get caught tampering with the device in anyway will land then straight back in jail

What are you armed with?

Asked by ElliottPHL about 13 years ago

Haha. As a standard guard. Nothing. Just a radio and a torch. But you can go to one of the various training centers around that will train and issue you with a licence for handcuffs and batons. But that course can exceed $1000

What's standard protocol when you show up and the intruders are still there?

Asked by DayGlo about 13 years ago

as soon as we notice there is intruders on-site. We radio to the base informing them and they will inform the police who usually arnt to far behind. If I think I can handle the situation on my own I will approach them. If not I will wait for another guard to help or the police

Are there just as many women who are security guards? Are there physical fitness minimum requirements, and are they the same for men and women?
