I know that sometimes we may joke and poke fun at security companies as LEOs because they often do too much beyond their practice as if they are police officers, however you all seem to act within the scope of yalls service as a very professional agency! I wish we had security companies like yours to assist us with our call load and I love the way yall operate and present yallselves to the public. Stay safe and continue the good work!
I'm a law enforcement officer in Canada. 1 wouldn't be a bad idea to have security markings on the back of the vest. 2. Love the officers showing the gear load out and what they carry and why. 3. Are the vest empty? Or do they have plates in them? Looks empty
Very professional as always. One officer safety issue though. The officer should not be carrying a flash light in his strong side gun hand. Other than that very professional demeanor and conduct.
I'm a retired security officer and I can actually tell you yes when you are the only people on site when something happens. And PD hasn't gotten there yet yes technically you are the first responder., and I had training officers in supervisors who reinforced that during training over and over again
That's false. When I worked for allied, G4S, Arrow Security, Garda world, the vest was provided to me as well as the firearms, cuffs, OC, pants, etc. Only thing I had to provide myself was my black boots. It really depends who you work for. I currently work for academy district 20 and the vest, weapon, cuffs, OC, pants, duty belt, keepers, all provided. @elix901
The presence of a firearm can deter potential threats more effectively than a taser due to the lethal force it represents. A firearm also provides the ability to respond to serious, life-threatening situations where lethal force may be necessary to protect oneself or others. Officer Tilkens is an experienced military veteran and is definitely responsible enough to carry a firearm.
@Denver-metro-protective yes it can deter alot if not most people but not all. If someone wants to fight you, you can not shoot them in most instances for that same for if they're just fist fighting someone else and your intervening. You need less lethal options such as OC, Taser, Baton etc. Not all altercations can be resolved with Deadly Force and not all altercations can be resolved with Verbal De Escalation. When having a firearm you should NEVER be getting into any kind of physical altercation because then it could become a fight for your firearm. Less lethals would help prevent this significantly. Please Think about my comment and adjust your company to make all armed officers carry less/non lethals.
Security officers do carry tasers it just all comes down to officer discretion on how they set up their own belt I don't carry a tazer but I do carry OC and a baton
@OFC.GOTTIE well not all. The officer in this video had No OC, Baton or taser. Also you should really look into getting a taser although the company should provide one. It is by far the best less lethal option to immediately stop a threat when it works properly.
4:30 I work in armed security, since when can you detain someone for trespass? It's a misdemeanor, and we aren't cops. Maybe the laws are different in Colorado, but in Ohio, you can only detain when someone has committed a felony, and in those instances you are only detaining them until the police arrive. There are exceptions, such as when someone steals from a retail establishment and you are acting as an agent of the retailer, then your legal authority becomes similar to loss prevention, but again you are only detaining until the police arrive.
C.R.S. 16-3-201 A person who is not a peace officer may arrest another person when any crime has been or is being committed by the arrested person in the presence of the person making the arrest.
@@Denver-metro-protective Yeah, in reading that, and checking some internet sources, that is incredibly broad. In essence, everyone can arrest everyone else for even the smallest of infractions. That's pretty crazy, and could spiral out of control very rapidly.
@@BuceGar Yes, that is definitely correct. We definitely do not treat it lightly and is rarely utilized. Some security companies tend to brag about "arrests" that they "make", however, while this technically may be an accurate and legal statement for them to make, it should be actually performed sparingly.
@@dob3079 We currently respond to more than 2500 calls for service per month, ranging from suspicious people (yes, we get those daily) to noise complaints to burglar alarm responses to other non-emergent reasons that can be handled by someone other than law enforcement. But thanks for letting us know that we don't get these calls. That'll make our world so much easier.

As a LEO from Europe, I really do appreciate the professional security. Most of the agencies are crap, so it's nice to see some professionalism.
Greatly appreciated!

Good to see videos coming out again! Looking good!
More to come!
Excellent Job
Is that vest armored or just a carrier ?
it looks like a carrier, but there aren't any plates in it
Once he said security that did it for me lol I thought it was police , yall enjoy
Awwww.... and we were just becoming friends.
I am making a Roblox ERLC server for this place because it is so cool
If you're serious you have to share with us
Did y'all get rid of the light bars?
No, we have a mixed combination of styles.
❤
I will ask them to leave and hopefully they comply..and if not I will call the police
Saying security is a first responder is the same as saying a plumber is a first responder.

Why did they throw him out there with just a vest cover?
They don't provide actual bullet proof vest you have to have your own!
Most security companies do not provide plates.

When will you come out with a female ride along video?
Very soon!
Why would you carry a firearm and not a taser? You limit your options to lethal force only. Little irresponsible.

I’m sorry but security is not first responders
Security officers are often the first ones to respond to scene...
@@Denver-metro-protectiveno they’re not, no one is calling you guys if they see suspicious activity they’re calling 911…
