Real-World Guard Services Products - An Intro
In a previous article 'When Private Companies Hire Off-Duty Police Officers as Security, Who is liable when things go wrong'? I wrote about tort liability for the tortuous acts of off-duty public police officers who 'moonlight' for private employers. I reviewed http://www.proshield.co.za/security-guards-gauteng/ the situation of Melendez v. City of Los Angeles, 63 Cal. App. 4th 1 (199 cool which used a very straightforward Respondeat Superior analysis finally the private employer ' not the City of Los Angeles, was civilly liable for the conduct from the officers. For those who would not read my previous article or aren't familiar for the doctrine of Respondeat Superior, in simple terms this is a legal doctrine that holds a manager or principal (i.e., 'master') legally responsible for your wrongful acts associated with an employee or agent.

Pepper spray is very effective and it has the advantage of giving a burglar alarm guard a safe distance from which to make use of this weapon since many defensive sprays come with an effective selection of about 6 to 8 feet. One disadvantage to pepper spray are make fish an assailant, although somewhat unlikely, could fight through the pain with the pepper spray and continue attacking. Another disadvantage is the pepper spray could potentially be wrestled through the guard through the assailant and used up against the guard. Stun guns are wonderful because an assailant loses the ability to ‘fight through the pain’ because http://www.proshield.co.za/security-company-pretoria/ stun guns do not work about the premise of causing an opponent pain but completely incapacitating them by disrupting their normal neurological processes through the use of a high voltage electrical current. The disadvantage with traditional stun guns is they lack any range and must be physically touching an attacker so that you can work understanding that means extremely close combat situations that could prove disadvantageous for your http://www.proshield.co.za/guarding guard. It should be noted that stun guns remain non-lethal since the current of electricity which they emit is high voltage but low amperage in fact it is in fact amps that prove fatal, not volts. This is where the stun baton can prove to be so useful. It combines the advantages of completely incapacitating an assailant with the reach of a pepper spray. The retractable stun baton by Stun Master, for instance, measures almost 2 feet when fully extended understanding that allows the safety guard another 2 foot cushion by which to work if they should fall into a physical confrontation having an intruder.

Many security officers can be extremely talented, well trained and educated, but there are also a great deal of officers that are very talented in a few areas and lack skills in other people. Wrongly let's assume that a fresh employee in regards to their work experience should possess certain skills or taking it as a given will almost always backfire. In my years as a security consultant in Los Angeles I have encountered many guards which were doing work in the protection industry for decades, but they were unable to publish simple reports or they were unable to follow simple written post orders.

The camera was hidden in the plane knowning that was an ideal spot for these baggage handlers to get caught red-handed. The handlers that are simply designed to load your bags on the plane were rifling from the bags and treatment of belongings you have packed away for safety. The video signifies that it isn't just baggage handlers, but a good security guard who gets in for the very illegal activity.

The worst situations arise every time a crisis or perhaps an emergency occurs and the security guard cannot handle it, because he wasn't prepared properly. In those cases supervisors and security company managers often become frustrated using the security guard. In my opinion it's not the guard's fault. A security company that has been in operation in Los Angeles for years must have realized the shortcomings inside training of countless officers and really should have reacted accordingly.
