I’m a sergeant for a security company in Ohio. I mostly do patrols. Pretty cool to see how other security agencies do their patrols. We do patrols totally different, we mostly do apartment patrols. Y’all stay safe and watch your six!
I’m new to security in Denver . I’m with scout security and I’m working on getting my badge . first time working in the industry and I look forward to growing to patrol .
You guys seem like a great company. The officers take pride in their work, which often reflects on management. This seems like a very well put together and professional company To bad you guys aren’t in Texas, we could sure use a company like this down here. Too many shady companies with horrendous business practices here. If I lived near, I’d put an application in. I’ve been working armed security and bodyguard services for a few years now. It’s a very good industry when it’s managed by great companies You guys advertise your product which shows a level of pride to me, overall I’d say you guys are one of a kind The ride along videos are my favorites
Thank you! We appreciate hearing this, as we do strive to be a different type of security provider. You never know, though... Texas isn't too far from Colorado!
At 10:07.... I don't know the regulations in CO, but in CA a person needs to have a valid BSIS-card and an additional baton-permit to be allowed to hold a baton. It's considered a deadlly weapon in CA. So it's pretty much the equivalent to telling someone "Hold my gun while I'm breaking into that car..." ;)
Dude was taking huge liability risks by even messing with that car. 1.) Do you know its their car? 2.) You're using a bent coat hanger to try unlocking it - easy to cause damage to the door, controls, or scratch up the paint - the "you touched it last" game is going to bite him in the butt. I used to unlock vehicles professionally. We'd ID the person and then inspect the registration and ensure it was the person's vehicle - if it turned out to not be legit, we had their ID to give to the police along with the dispatch call logs, and usually a AAA membership to go along with it. We also carried the right insurance and tools for the job. Accidents still happen. People are quick to blame someone else for damaging their car. The baton jammed in the door is a great way to spring the door frame - which will require either a new door, or a trip to a body shop to get right again. There's a right way to wedge a door to unlock without damage, and it requires the right tools. That scenario had none of that. If he'd wanted to be helpful - calling a locksmith or calling AAA for them (if they were members) would've been far better - and put his employer at far less risk. Over all - I saw some glaring issues in this one - stepping in front of the vehicle with the alarm going off 2X, the whole unlocking the car thing, giving his baton to a stranger just to name a few. This fellow needs some retraining, maybe more guidance and time with a training officer / manager riding with him.
This job is a good stepping stone However, 4:30 is part of the reason I had to leave the private sector and go to Police. There's only so much you can do in this situation as a Security Officer. People will always have a sense of disrespect/disregard for Security.
Yes, it is definitely frustrating. Officer Poutre did a great job, though, of staying calm and not overreacting. Too many officers (security and police alike) would have taken that as a challenge and became aggressive, but kudos to Officer Poutre for realizing that it wasn't worth getting upset over.
Very nice! Subbed... careful standing like that in front of cars brother. At first I thought you were Denver police. Since I’m in Cali no idea what you guys do. Very informative. Cops would have drew their gun on that lady in the car... interesting difference how you guys handle that type of craziness. Be safe and looking forward to seeing more videos!
Thank you! Yes, the Specialist made the right decision not to escalate given that he didn't actually witness anything. We also agree about standing in front - I think he was more surprised than anything and we're glad he chose to just step aside and let it be.
Thanks for the suggestion - we can create one of those! We do have two videos from last year that talk about that a little, but we can definitely create something more specific!
I work for a company in Charlotte N.C we are a company police agency and protective service so we have the added benefit of our own sworn LEO on patrol with us.
As a cop... Giving Lawful Commands to stop and roll window down while a vehicle is parked in a public right of way.. while dressed in what could be confused with offical police uniform.. Yeaaaa.... Tad bit illegal..
I’ve been In law enforcement 8 years...and these guys go on a power trip, don’t get me wrong...Shout out to them however I feel they are trying to expand their role to perform law enforcement duties in an unlawful manner as you pointed out. I mean they try to have the command presence and I respect what they try to accomplish, but again some of the things they try to portray should apply to local law enforcement. For example the way he went about the lady who nearly ran him over. Take a look at how he went about that.
There isn't a law that says they can't tell someone to roll down the window 😂 there uniform doesn't say police regardless of you might think..and the apartment complexes pay them to patrol that property it's private not public.
And your point is what? He still did nothing illegal simply tired to have a talk with the person and they drove off he didn't stop them from driving away...if you're law enforcement you should appreciate what these guys do that help you from having to respond to something that they can handle.
And yes thank you for your service even though I’m not from the USA but from Canada and my perspective in security They Risk their lives every day almost like law-enforcement like they could be arresting someone and they could have a knife on them and literally stab one of them or pull a gun on them so they should get thanked for their service because that’s also a dangerous job because they have to deal with drunk people and aggressive people
Thank you! Every night, we have so many experiences that we encounter and we remain proud of our dedicated staff who have handled these situations professionally and safely!
Hello who can I reach in regards to an application or email lol I tried reaching out but haven’t heard anything and that pre test was like what exactly are you looking for with a law enforcement background please respond if you can thank you
I wonder what keeps these people from becoming g police seeing as they would be making double the money, much better benefits and actually have authority to enforce the law.
Suspicious activity is any observed behavior that could indicate a person may be involved in a crime or about to commit a crime. It leads to a reaction of either investigating further to determine if a crime has been or is about to be committed and reacting accordingly (contacting appropriate authorities, for example), determining that no crime or potential for a crime has occurred, or doing nothing at all. "If you see something, say something". Had a crime occurred, he would have taken additional actions as a result (as mentioned above...contacting law enforcement). It was determined to the best of his knowledge that either no crime had occurred, or there was not enough belief that one had or was about to. Absolutely crucial part of not only anyone in security or law enforcement, but it should be in the back of anyone's mind when looking at a situation. Remember that nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance or conscientious stupidity.
Yeah, stepping front of a moving vehicle while trying to overstep your authority and command them to roll down their window isn't that bright. Way too much of a " wannabe cop" attitude.
It was a suspicious situation and there was no "wanna be" attitude. If you didn't notice, the Specialist calmly walked away afterwards and stated that there was nothing that could be done. A "wanna be" would have then either chased after them or immediately called the police - neither of which were called for. SMH, some people have to complain and armchair quarterback no matter what... haters gonna hate.
Not sure what the laws are in your state but in my state blocking someone from leaving absent of you witnessing them commit a crime is false imprisonment.He really shouldnt be doing that.That could be a huge lawsuit against this company.Not to mention he put himself in a potentially deadly situation just because of a car alarm.
Thanks for watching! While he did initially step in front of the vehicle (which he should not have done!), he did not block them or keep the individual from leaving. He was, however, taking a proactive approach to suspicious activity, as opposed to just walking by and ignoring it, which far too many security guards do.
@@e4mafia_tn You're so wrong in so many ways on this and your other comments here. Ignorance is not an adequate reason for comments. A person saying that the security industry has NO responsibility other than observe and report is absolutely absurd and incorrect. When performing courtroom screening services, do we only "observe and report" as people walk in? How about at the airports? While performing inmate transport services, shall we just "observe and report" or perhaps would it be appropriate to actually escort the inmate? Security performs an invaluable service worldwide and the claim that we, as an industry, must do nothing but "observe and report" is as ignorant as anyone claiming that by doing anything other than this must therefore be a "wannabe". Being "butthurt"? No, how about attempting to demonstrate the value of the private-public partnership that absolutely exists in the law enforcement/security realm. "Playing cop"???? Ignorance is always afraid of change.
His first inclination was to move in front a moving vehicle on a public street... not once but then again? Very poor judgement. If one of my officers were do something so foolish, they would be fired. If it happened on property, it would be a write up and a stern talking to. But off property? C’mon!
We take every opportunity to train and improve rather than fire. Your first inclination should not be "oh, he made a wrong move... let's fire him!". If that were the case, you would either have no employees for having to fire them all, or they likely wouldn't work for you. Obviously, we take very important the safety of each employee and even when a mistake is made, we look at that as a way to become better so that those mistakes are not made again.
Denver Metro Protective Services Believe you me, I believe in second chances and re-training, but some actions show such a lack of judgement and are so egregious that it is best to move on from that employee. He put himself in what could have been a deadly force scenario off property. There is no excuse. He stopped the driver from freely driving away without the authority to do so. He is a serious liability. Perhaps firing would not be necessary if there was an unarmed, static post with close supervision he could be placed at.
@@bigglovebobfizzox2971 Well most security we have seen would immediately call police and / or run after the vehicle. His judgement, while inappropriate at first by putting himself in front of the vehicle, quickly came to his head and he not only moved out of the way, but knew that as no crime had been witnessed, he took no further action. He did not stop the driver from freely driving away. Ultimately, this is what was important. We looked at the entirety of it and most in public safety or law enforcement get the "contempt of cop" attitude of "how dare they not stop... now I'm going to do (fill in the blank with a poor judgement move)". He had the sense enough to know to not take it further, move out of the way and go home safe.
Denver Metro Protective Services Run after the vehicle or call the police? For what? Off property? Not my circus, not my monkeys. Private Security is neither law enforcement or public safety. I have been in it for coming up on 30 years.
