Unfortunately there are those in my line of work who give the "Security Guard" a bad image. With over 9 years in the Security Industry I've seen my share of them. But regardless of what you may think, there are a large number of us who are here to serve others and make a difference in our communities. 

I enjoy working in the Security Industry because I enjoy serving the community. I have a unique opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those in need. I view security work as an extension of the Law Enforcement community where we act as another set of eyes and ears and share the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the average citizen through crime prevention, threat mitigation, and customer service. A responsibility that I take pride in!
