Ok…so Another question crossed my mind as I drove around the
island late Thursday night: How secure is it to have security guards? This
question popped into my mind as I drove by one of the International Banks and
spotted the security guard out front. A man of about 50 years of age, extremely
over weight and walked with a very noticeable limp. My next question is this:
Who picks these guys and is there a physical they have to pass? I mean,
seriously, what would this guy do when confronted with…shall we call it an incident?
Is this man expected to chase after a criminal? Run the criminal down? This guy
was clearly winded just from crossing the parking lot! What kind of investment
is it to have security that can’t really keep your place secure? Again, I ask,
who picks these people? Not just the guy at the bank. Many, MANY security are
overweight and out of shape. And many, MANY places with security guards still
get robbed. Which prompts the next line of thought: What guarantee is there
that the security hired by a company is secure? How is it proven that the
security guard is not a formal criminal? Just asking some questions here,
people. Questions that no one else seemed to ask. There are several Security
Companies on the island….who started them? What are their credentials? Who
trains them? Where does the trainer get HIS training from? Any one else seem to
think a little looking into this matter wouldn’t hurt? I’m just asking. That’s
what I do.
