R-E-S-P-E-C-T For Security Professionals

Security guards need to remember that they provide a valuable service, even if they only do the work for a short time. They should be proud of that. Guards must make sure their pride shows up in everything from their professional appearance to their updated training.

Taking Your Security Career To The Next Level

Are you working as a security guard to make some money for a while? Are you just starting out as a guard as a way into the security profession? If so, I hope you’re thinking about ways to take full advantage of your career options.

Patience

In Rent-A-Cop Reboot, I wrote that the ultimate form of customer service that a security professional provides is when they’re more concerned about a client’s safety than the contract specifies.

There are many ways for working people to provide good customer service, which is more important than ever since the pandemic.

Don't Lose Focus

While we’re in this crazy time of watching COVID infections and deaths rise, but we have more in-person workdays and people resisting pandemic-fighting protocols, I want you to remember this: Don’t lose focus!

Do You Have What It Takes?

Security guard training and certification requirements can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, sometimes making it hard to get a good start in the business. But as I say in the video above: Don’t stop going after the career of your dreams, in security, or any other field. The world may need you.

Security State Of Mind

I talk about security-mindedness whenever anyone will listen, that energy flows throughout my book Rent-A-Cop Reboot, and that’s what I talked about this past Sunday at the Book Warehouse in the Williamsburg (Virginia) Premium Outlets.
