MY TAKE ON THE SECURITY OFFICER ATTEMPTING TO STOP ROBBERS

[@MLinktheprophet]

UNARMED HAS NO PLACE IN THIS INDUSTRY THESE DAYS. IF YOU CAN GET A GUARD CARD YOU CAN GET A GUN PERMIT.

[@ryanstites2388]

I feel unarmed is good for gate houses, concierge-style or visitor check-in posts, nursing homes, etc. And it's good to have both armed and unarmed at hospitals.

[@securitycentral411]

Point 1. from the video when the newscaster stated that the officer saw the suspects messing around with his personal car. ( he lost it) Now the officer is in I’m gonna get you mode -you don’t mess with my car!!!!!!(wrong) Point2. he chased after them,the officer stated that He wanted to hold them for the police.(wrong) Point 3 In uniform interview on camera (wrong) who called the news? Was it him ? Point 4. This site not high crime life or death site Point 5. They look like juveniles (he’s fighting kids) Point 6. The supervisor was right in response to him filming in uniform Point 7. The supervisor said you touched him, I wouldn’t have touched him ( guard was wrong) to chase and attempt to detain the suspects with no backup single guard on site. Point 8. This guard is too emotional and did not take responsibility for his mistakes/missteps in this situations. Point 9. Thank god he wasn’t armed we might have 2 dead kids over an attempt because of this guy You observed you ran them off end of story.

I’m a simple guy. I see a commander hall video, I click it 😌

[@commanderhall848]

Thanks

[@albertbrigham7935]

Exactly, not to mention there could have been more than just the two of them, they usually run in packs. You don't ever speak to the media direct them to Communications

[@HowieAnderson-jg5yb]

I agree with your assessment. At this time in my life I think I’d find another post that gave me or allowed me to use the proper tools to do the job. Good video!

[@nelsmcmullen7967]

I totally agree. Know when chase and engagement is needed. And as always I always agree with the not being unarmed. As a security business owner I have a contract that doesn't allow our officers to carry guns only mace/ ownership is only officers they allow to carry a firearm when we work. I actually had a client say to me glad to see someone carrying a gun around here for once. Just shows sometimes ppl appreciate the armed guards just the companies contracting security don't really think about security and it's for security owners to express to them the true need and the evolution of public safety. But don't get me wrong I'm not saying everyone who's certified to carry a sidearm should either because there's a lot of ppl who don't perform well under pressure and make fatal mistakes. Stay safe all.

[@MichaelT83310]

I don’t understand unarmed security either… so you’re hiring someone to protect you…. But you don’t want them to have any weapons……..

[@commanderhall848]

My point exactly lol

[@GarlandHeard]

CAN YOU HEAR THE WORDS COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH OBSERVE AND REPORT OBSERVE AND REPORT OBSERVE AND REPORT YOUR AN UNARMED GUARD WITH OUT ANY WEAPONS AND VERY LUCKY THEY DIDNT TAKE YOU OUT

[@PBE86]

It's ALWAYS the unarmed sites where chaos happens. I felt bad for him but he got a new job with a famous gun store owner & fuk his old corporate company & police. What happened to him is why I dont call cops even if I'm the victim.🤬

[@commanderhall848]

Yep I made tons of videos about how sometimes law enforcement will show up and sometimes they won't show up

[@DrHorsePower]

I agree, dude did a little too much. I respect him for doing his job the best he could, but like you said, our property isn’t worth our life.

[@MrBROOKS1718]

I understand where you’re coming from, but I think as business owners, we have to be more realistic. Most of the guards make about 15 bucks an hour, his car, his phone are not just Prize possessions most likely they are possessions necessity for survival. His emotional response is what I would expect from an unarmed guard, most likely living paycheck to paycheck, if we expect these guards to do better, they have to be paid better. Without the financial relief to think critically and emotional response is what you’re going to get we don’t know if his insurance was paid. We don’t know if the insurance was paid on his phone but if he doesn’t have a car, no work no pay no phone no communication with your supervisor no extra shifts And it goes on and on. The response the supervisor gave is what I expect. She’s not going to respect her guys because her manager doesn’t respect her. I don’t agree with his actions, but I don’t expect him not to be human in this situation. This is the dynamic that is in the Security industry, especially in these large companies

[@markbell1089]

Good points!

[@mikem9366]

I think no matter what I think that supervisor just admitted fault on camera and if im the criminals I'll take the charge but I would go to the hospital on claim some kind of injury and then sue and use that new story and get a lawyer I think that supervisor was a dumbass for coming on camera and doing that...

[@ericlund1064]

The first mistake he made was actually trying to intercept and detain a suspect. Unless a person is in immediate threat of severe bodily harm or death you should not intervene. You are not a cop. Your job is to watch and report. if instead of chasing after them he had simply picked up your phone and dialed 911 and reported the crime Police could have responded and did their job. Then the situation would not have escalated putting the company at risk of liability for both his injuries and any injuries sustained by the suspect. He did his job by being there being observant and deterring the crime. Not by arresting suspects. Again not a cop. Then against company policy he did an interview with the media in his uniform. (Probably on the clock, though I cannot confirm this.) Then he wants to get belligerent with his manager. Not good. I would have put them on two weeks unpaid administrative suspension for exposing the company to liability and endangering himself in excess of his duties and specifically advised him of the company policy regarding media interviews and social media. Most likely he would have quit right then because you're hitting him in his wallet. If he stayed he would be a much better security officer. If The interview occurred after that while he was on the job, he would have just been fired on the spot.

[@commanderhall848]

I agree that was my take on the situation as well

[@CaptainTy]

2:08 the guard is clearly inexperienced and poorly trained. Unfortunately

[@TexasSecurityofficer]

Well commander nobody take these security companies seriously tbh bro because one he could of lost his life they touch him first that supervisor in the wrong and what law does it say we can’t do interviews in uniform like seriously

[@commanderhall848]

It's not a law but company policy

[@TexasSecurityofficer]

@@commanderhall848but where does it say on the policy now days people just make up stuff but I get what ur saying brotha

[@commanderhall848]

@@TexasSecurityofficer normally when you do a onboarding it goes over everything per company policy, A lot of times people overlook it when they doing the application

[@TexasSecurityofficer]

⁠@@commanderhall848and what if they don’t go over it with you then ? That happens lot tbh but most of the times they don’t read it

[@TheAngrySecurityGuardChannel]

There is no reason to chase after someone for that. Should’ve let them go. If people know anything about modern day law enforcement, especially in big cities, they’re not going to respond to low priority calls and it’s because that high priority calls are more important. So he should’ve known better. As a private citizen; lady we’re security guards. We ARE private citizens. Do agree with her that it was his fault though because he chased after them when they were attempting to leave. He should be criminally charged. Situation like that, all you do is call dispatch (non emergency) and give them description of subjects and incidents, and the direction they went and officers will eventually run into them. If not, then no biggie because not really a crime happened. However, the guard did commit assault and technically, false imprisonment to a degree. Hence, they were fleeing and only thing they were doing was looking inside vehicles. It’s called reporting suspicious activity aka see something, say something. No need to call 911 and request an officer to come and waste law enforcement resources and time. PS, there are always ways to improvise materials and products around you to use as weapon and defend with. Don’t always need firearms or less lethals. JS.

[@commanderhall848]

Yes sir I totally agree

[@foxvalleymetropublicsafety5326]

Well, if police departments, government agencies, or basically corporations refer to interviews to attorneys or public relations personnel. What makes one guy with zero media training go on tv and basically make tons of statements based off emotions, and then proceed to start bashing the local PD. This guy is litterely why companies forbid interviews with line level employees. Security is about reducing liabilities. Not increasing it

[@chrisinghram9181]

He said they ran away. I would have let them go and just report it to the police and my supervisor
