Good video. I worked for two security companies prior to becoming a cop and had two vastly different experiences. Unfortunately, security is one of those industries that has extremely high turnover, generally low-quality applicants, and generally low-quality jobs -- meaning crap pay, crap hours and crap locations, etc. The first company I worked for ran some pretty shady business practices and seemed like they were trying to screw us over at every chance they had. The second company involved a professional hiring process, training done by ex-military guys and actually paid us fairly for our work. Don't sell yourself short and nab the first paycheck you see.

[@freefieldtraining]

+BarkyLondon True story. I've worked everything from $6.50/hr up. I've had some really bad and some really inspiring experiences. It all depends on the management of the company.

[@JoseRodriguez-yz6zh]

I think this is a great topic for a series of videos, and there's a lot of good info in these two episodes. I personally had an experience where a friendly "come by the office and we'll talk" became a rushed, frantic, slipshod interview/shanghai for an armed security company here in FL. 2 days with an FTO and bam! they give you a gun, a car, and have you patrol the most dangerous, crime ridden neighborhoods of the city by yourself for minimal pay. I walked right out of there. Instead, applied and got hired by one of the major theme parks, where there's chance to grow, learn, and move up the management chain. Great videos, great information, and a great channel.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Jose Rodriguez boy, you are going to love next week's episode. That is precisely the issues we are discussing.

[@JoseRodriguez-yz6zh]

free field training awesome! The way I figure, if I wanted to play cops-and-robbers, I'd become an actual cop instead of signing on with what my girlfriend called a "Zimmerman factory." I wanted to be a police officer back in my Explorer days, but I have different aspirations now. Looking forward to next week's video

[@briankern6644]

I wish this video was out 10 years ago when I started as an armed security guard. I would have avoided a lot of headaches and wasted time. Finally working with a company that wants it's people to expand their certifications and education to do more than be a simpleton with a pen and notebook.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Brian Kern those jobs are out there if you look for them.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

Many guards see $$$ 💰 & think that they can do that too. Wrong! Armed security posts can be high risk or have clients, customers etc who will gripe or complain about anything.

[@tommyatkins2527]

​@@freefieldtraining bullshit its a shit industry lol fuck security dont do it

[@noahguardiola2611]

if anyone watching this video is wanting to get into security id suggest looking into hospital security or college campus security. i work at a college and we are supplied with all the equipment we need, (taser, bodycam, bulletproof vest, firearms. etc.) We're very well taken care of and because the college is a state agency we are state employees which pays well and has great health coverage. and we dont get treated like your average "dumbass security guard" because were actually keeping students safe.

[@susananoriega6415]

Hi where can i look for a Security College jobs? Thank you

[@codyevans6032]

In the state of washington both college security and hospital security ask you have a college degree or law enforcement experience prior to applying

[@jmyersv1]

I'm at Securitas. They're ok but starting to think all security jobs are vastly different depending on post and position

[@bencunningham6298]

I see them a lot in my area. Never more than just patrolling parking lots at stores/malls. I never see them hiring though so always figured they were pretty good with a low turnover rate haha.

[@jmyersv1]

Ben Cunningham They honestly operate differently in every area. with positions from unarmed mall cops to nuclear and base security. They're always hiring but I think a lot of people do not understand this business trying to get in. I have a background in law and military so I aced the test but they guy next to me was like "let's rush in and arrest the criminals! " - no

[@MrSanteeclaus]

Josh Myers securitas and pinkerton both depends on their current contracts. Regardless they only care about you covering hours. Not your health and welfare, nor your training and having proper gear. You are just a body to them

Can't wait for the next video. I just had a few interviews a couple days ago for getting into the security field (up and coming) and going to be starting soon. Any tips about how to make the job enjoyable when you protecting a pretty much empty building? Also how long would you or randy tell someone that they should stay at a company when you don't see any real advancement (month, 6 months, a year from noticing) (money or rank)?

[@CJ_7519]

If you're not "one of the boys" ( current/retired law enforcement/military ), you're not gonna get top dollar when working security. That's something that really needs to be mentioned. No one bothers to mention that part, though!

[@CJ_7519]

@Velvet Metal, true! The reason why I said that, is because I work as an unarmed guard in NYC. I've tried to get a job as an armed guard, but; I got turned away due to not having a background in law enforcement/military. Plus, I've been ripped off by a "school" that would SUPPOSEDLY get you a job, which I never got. 15 years later, I'm still working security making $15/hr. sittin' on my ass at a front desk on the overnight shift in lower Manhattan.

[@CJ_7519]

@Velvet Metal, I'll try!

[@slender169101]

1:40 This is so true in reality most security is going to be boring i've been tribal casino security officer now for a year and 5 months and in my one year i've only really had to go hands one TWICE. Once was due to an illegal immigrant coming into the casino and began reeking havoc on the entire casino throwing chairs at people, grabbing people pushing them ect, and the other was due to a special needs person who became overwhelmed and tried to hurt themselves and others even assaulting me. Security is boring UNTILL IT'S NOT. And when it's no longer boring you usually regret that its not especially when it comes to having to justify yourself and the force you used to your superiors, the law, and even bystanders at times.

[@randalmcmurphy9237]

Mall of America Security starts at $17.50/hr. for part-time and anywhere from $18.50/hr. to $23/hr. for full-time, depending on qualifications.

[@justinmathew590]

I work for G4S in Maryland. I 've an A A in criminal justice with additional 9 credits in criminal justice. I 've 9 years of security work experience. Question: What is G4S a good company to work for, or should I look for another company? Thank you,

[@supermengmorales7194]

Shams Robin I had a bad experience with G4S in NC. They seem to have a high turnover rate. They treat everyone as disposable. They may be different in your area but my experience was less than desirable.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

No, I would not suggest G4S. I do security & I'm a US Army veteran, 4 years MP. G4S was fined $550,000.00 by the Florida div of licensing. They took fake psychological screenings & forms 📑 to the state for new armed officers. They also lie about posts, salary & sites.

[@libertyprime1710]

G4s experiences can very depending on which branch/location you're working for. I've had a great experience with the one where I'm at, so I consider myself lucky.

hello free field training, I enjoy your videos and your reviews on products for the men and women in blue and the security officers. I've doing security since 18, worked with three different companies. Living in the Silicon Valley the valley the most part. Should You address the company's that are run by former police officer, like for example I did have some miss the company i am currently working for, I want to grow with the company and go through the ranks of the company. Do you have any additional information about this matter? in other words if the officers get in trouble get a couple of write-ups how can they redeem themselves to the company and prove to them that they are worthy to move up in there lateral positions that they offer.

[@tobygoff1941]

Is there a difference between armed hospital security and regular armed security?

[@freefieldtraining]

+Toby Goff yes, one works at a hospital. The other works somewhere other than a hospital. Wall hospital security has its own idiosyncrasies so does every other type of place you can work security at. That's really what's so beautiful about doing security work is that there is such a broad range of jobs and sites and type of work to do.

[@OFC407]

Of course. I did hospital security for a bit. But all depends on your job description and post orders... if you haven’t learned already, hospital security may tend to be more hands on and exposure to illness and bodily fluids. Just do your research.

[@alexgrinage]

update please

[@transgenderedmuhammad8817]

Can a police officer hit someone in the neck?

[@freefieldtraining]

+Transgendered Muhammad yes, depending upon the circumstances. It is important to not there is no restriction on where a police officer can hit or hold someone, but every location and type of strike or hold carries with it a legal level of force use. Striking open hand in the brachial plexus on the side of the neck as a stun is still "hitting them in the neck" but it is not a high level of force. Punching a person in the throat or in the back of the neck over the cervical vertebrae is lethal force though. So, what strike or hold can be used is dependent upon the totality of the circumstances involved and what level of force is reasonable given those circumstances.

[@transgenderedmuhammad8817]

free field training Damn that's a fast response! Thanks!!!

[@johnyboy123ify]

"brachial plexus" That name brings back painful head spinning memories. I worked for the Marion County Sheriff's Office (Indiana) as a Detention Deputy. You've gotta be a special kind of crazy to wanna work the corrections field. Much respect for those that do. Wasn't my cup of tea. That being said, I remember when our instructor began to teach us pressure points and motor disfunction. We got on our knees, laid our hands palms up on the point to be struck and made a line. Our instructor came down the line "lightly" smacking us with the back of his hand on our brachial plexus. Defensive and physical tactics days were always fun days. It was only after that I understood why we were told to buy a BIG bottle of Ibuprofen. That bottle became my friend for those next few weeks. lol

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I've done security in the private & public sector since the 1990s. I'm also a US Army veteran. There are many great security & protective service jobs out there. Medical centers, schools, large factory or warehouse places. Airports, rail yards, ports, etc. I'd avoid hotels, resorts, motels. 👎. Look for posts with benefits or ways to advance.

[@javiermontiero4982]

I just got out of a job within a "psych ward" (though we didn't call it that for stigma purposes). It was an IMMENSELY rewarding job wherein I learned so, so very much about de-escalation and navigating volatile and unpredictable scenarios with very real possibilities for injury or worse. I think it was one of the most eye opening and enriching jobs I've ever had and am so thankful for it. I'd absolutely recommend upcoming security workers to spend a bit of time in a hospital and/or mental health facility.

[@mgknows2200]

Some people just dont understand that everyone's security experience is not just based on the company they work for. It's all on the office of that company you get hired into, the management that's in charge of you, and the contracts they throw you under. I've been with Allied Universal for 2 years, and to be honest my first year was trash because of the branch I got hired into. Thank God I moved, and left on good terms because the Allied branch In the city I live in now has a much better management team running it. I don't know how much longer I would of lasted in the last one, but the office in charge of me now has been taking great care of me.

[@OmegaShortFilms]

I used to work for Walden Security. The company is horrible and the lack on communication is terrible. I worked there for 3 years, I payed for my own training outside of the company to hopefully get advancement but they refused to advance me. "We need you at your post, we can't afford to advance you at this time since you're too valuable to 2nd shift there at your post" -Walden Security. "Hey, train this new person to become your post supervisor", even though I was supposed to be the next post supervisor but after that I left. Now they can't keep anyone at the post that I was assigned to for more that a month since I left. Now I work for my local government doing parking enforcement. Plan on joining the city police department soon.

[@hannibald3723]

I live in Europe in France and honestly from what ive seen and i read in thé youtube and from other websites, security guard jobs along with the so called america are 100% so fucked up, no healthcare, no human rights, no lunch, no breaks, no benefits, minimum wage, discrimination at all levels.

[@brianbuchert6382]

Hannibal D3 what do you mean the so called America? The minimum wage you mentioned is a flat out lie! You know nothing! I been doing this for 3 years and make well above minimum wage! And benefits? These jobs in security in the UNITED STATES are for college students and retired cops like me who already have benefits! And here if you do decide it for your career you definitely can get benefits! You know nothing about my country and don’t believe everything you see on the internet! A basic security guard job here is often temporary until you graduate from college or retire permanently! How dare you insinuate and insult my country in which you like to spread lies about and misinformation! Tell me, where did you get your information from? Because your either stupid or gullible!

[@professional.commentator]

@@brianbuchert6382 Calm down! He was not insulting the country but the corporations that run it. And honestly security guard jobs are bad depending on where it takes place. Like for instance in New York it's basically not worth being a security guard since almost all of them are minimum wage jobs and unarmed.

[@certifiedsecurityguard3473]

The scary thing about being a security officer/guard,is that most do not carry the proper tools like law enforcement do.Even though you are the authority figure for the account that your assign to protect.The only protection that most guards wear are their uniforms that resembles law enforcement for deterrent purposes.Sadly this can also make you a target with out the proper knowledge and gear to defend your self.

[@josefarias9430]

This is very true. I'm an armed security officer and was sent to an unarmed post for emergency coverage about two months ago. I get to the location, and the client tells me that in the last month there's been 2 robberies, one at gunpoint and the other was unarmed, but became a physical assault. In the same time period, there was another incident in where a verbal dispute between two customers became physical and a firearm was drawn. I asked the client why do they pay so little to their regular security officer and why not get an armed security officer. He said that corporate will not pay for an armed security officer. I then told him that if a firearm is drawn, there is literally nothing I can do. I honestly don't understand why so many places get unarmed security.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

80-90% of security officers are not equipment savvy or aware of main players in the field; Galls.com is a great public safety uniform, gear, accessory site. I've seen guards & uniformed posts where they had no pen 🖊, no 🔦, no idea what handcuffs are or what a AED is 🙄. But they want $15.00/hr.

[@kentadamson6992]

I'll probably be crucified for saying this, but I've been working security for over ten years now. The best companies are the bigger ones. I've tried doing in house and smaller companies and the issues are the same, low pay, poor training, not enough staff, broken equipment etc...working for the bigger names has actually gotten me more money, training, and good sites to work at. I know this isn't consistent with what other people say. This is just my experience.

I'd avoid G4S. They were fined $550,000.00 USD, Mylicensesite.com Florida. 💲📑🚔👮🏻‍♀️👮🏽‍♂️. The company hired Omar Mateen, the G security officer & Pulse Night Club terror suspect. Mateen was killed by Orlando SWAT officers. 2 G4S security guards reported Mateen to upper mgmt-HR but they never did anything.

[@American_Patriot.1776]

At G4S you are a security monitor, not a security guard. At least that was how my post operated

[@Isitbecauseimpanduh]

Now to clarify, I didn't have previous experience as a "security guard" but was taught most of the skills for unarmed as an RT for addiction treatment, they are responsible for site security and checking beds to ensure people were actually in bed when they were supposed to, was trained on use of CCTV cameras and had to certify every year for de-escalation training and motivational interviewing, I did that job for 3 years. 2.5 of those years were as an RT2 which was responsible for training new RT's and conducting retraining of experienced RT's that weren't performing to the level required. Was also tasked with training De-escalation techniques and had 1 on 1 and group trainings of baggage and room searches for contraband. But the biggest skill I picked up was dealing with addicts and homeless and learning how to handle situations with them to prevent them from escalating to begin with

[@flyoverkid55]

Some things are self evident. For every management level position with a good salary and company supported benefits there are hundreds that don't pay well, offer nothing in the way of benefits, and experience a high rate of turnover. These base level jobs and the working supervisor positions are staffed by folks that are either poorly motivated or looking for other opportunities. Security work is a good work opportunity for those attending college or a trade school, but career opportunities are very limited, and unfortunately involve schmoozing potential clients while attempting to maintain staffing at current client sites.

[@freefieldtraining]

Making a career in most industries means advancing. Nobody stays an apprentice carpenter forever, or an assistant at a brokerage firm forever. Being successful means doing more than you are asked to do and being more committed than the guy who is looking to get in, out, and on to something else.

I appreciate the content brother. Good stuff as always, I know this video was years ago and I don’t know if you all are still around I had some more specific questions regarding that though which I’d appreciate. I am in California currently looking to get some Security experience before I move to Colorado possibly in the beginning of the New Year. I know each state requires different certifications for Security. I am looking at starting as an unarmed Guard and then with some more experience getting into armed maybe. I just completed the initial state training here in California with the 8 hour online course, and then the state application and then the livescan fingerprints and finished all of that which was simple enough and now just waiting on the GuardCard approval process which could take some time before I am eligible to start working as a Security Guard. The application and training process was easy enough like I said earlier but the thing I am having difficulty on is deciding what is the best Security company to work for. I know it really comes down to your post assignments and what suits you best both location wise and what is involved at each post assignment and each one is different and suited to everyone differently I get that and finding the best post for yourself the thing that intimidates me slightly and I can’t decide just because of the vast options out there is how do you go about finding what is the best Security company to work for. When it comes to the larger corporate Security companies there are just so many of them out there in multiple different areas across the country, from AlliedUniversal, Securitas, GuardaWorld, Prosegur, G4S, Weiser, Paragon Systems, ADT, Brinks, Pinkerton, InterCon, Constellis, CSC USA, AmericanHawk, American Guard Services, National Security Protective Services, Guardsmark, Arcadia Security, and then a bunch of smaller more independently run Security companies but that list right off the top of my head is at least 18 different companies that are large to decently sized enough like 20 companies on top of the smaller lesser known Security companies out there that is a lot I have no idea how you go about picking a good Security company to work for and what even to look for, I’d appreciate it brother if you had any tips or ideas regarding that because that is really what I am stuck on deciding what companies to look into to work for. I’d appreciate any help on that brother, have a blessed rest of your day my man, God Bless-Andrew.

I have a D and G active and I'm always trying to be undercut by everyone

North FL posts have many high paying FEMA sites. $17-20.00/hr with OT. These are long term too due to Michael, 2018. I plan to go up there in 4-6 weeks.

The security guards I see on KZbin seem like they are all high school drop outs.

I work for Securitas Temecula office . They are kind and understanding managers. Some assignments are so lame , checking IDs at the over 55 community sucks a hard knob . But the assignment I have now is sitting in an empty parking lot for 8 hours. I have played dozens of poker tournaments on my phone . Thanks for keeping me company

[@ethanconroy5102]

Alot of the jobs really depend on your site director or manager iv worked for allied for 4 years had one bad director the rest where great as for securitas I heard so much bad they will throw ya under the bus for anything iv heard just as much bad about allied but in my experience depends on the higher ups

Hey I know you're in the Chicago area. Do u know about Kate's Detective And Security Agency?

[@LikaKickedPuppy]

reashaad18 Don't do it unless u need a check and I've heard from very reliable sources that they bounce. Very ghetto as well. I have never worked with them before.

[@reashaad18]

I have been with them for a year now just wanted to know what u thought ab them.

[@freefieldtraining]

+reashaad18 I haven't had any dealings with either of them yet

[@reashaad18]

free field training will some of r officer are cool most are a holes but just wanted to know if u know about them or anything. They suck sometimes..

[@a.m.pietroschek1972]

Good elaboration. Thank you.

[@bonginkosikhohliso8204]

I would really to work in the U. S as a security officer. I think it is better than what I have here in South Africa

[@Swiftblade300]

Should I get security guard license before I go to an interview? Or will they set that up for me

[@roguesecurity6585]

Hey sir, I am a Security Enforcement Officer in Indiana. Am I legally allowed to freelance as a Security Guard? What steps do I take if so?

[@thefox8939]

Garda World it's the best security 🤘👏

[@LikaKickedPuppy]

f this... go in- house. For high paying start G4S or Whelan. I am speaking about Chicago.

[@freefieldtraining]

+s pacino F looking I to companies? Yeah, OK.

[@LikaKickedPuppy]

free field training U and I both know that most of these bs contact company pay peanuts. The above mentioned pay decent IF you have experience, various licenses/certificates or degree.

[@freefieldtraining]

They pay for you being a good employee and advancement is quick IF you put in the effort to get better. Everyone has to start somewhere. I know guys who went from entry level at minimum wage to shift supervisor at shopping malls in less than three years who are making $15-16/hr part time. that isn't bad scratch. then there are guys who work armored car services, they start up pretty high right off the bat. Get in good with that and you can make a career out of it fairly easily. The problem with private security is there is such a race to the bottom of the market and such turnover that companies are scared to invest until they see you are going to be a good employee.

[@AnInnocentLittleBoy]

G4S and Whelan are literally a contract security company so I don't exactly know why you are using them as an example for "in-house security".

[@LikaKickedPuppy]

AnInnocentLittleBoy I didn't say they were.. I was simply stating if you are going to go that route they might pay you for education /experience IF you know how to present yourself.

[@SWAGGER4us]
