Scripps Media has released their report describing the increasing reliance on private security firms as public police forces decline, a situation highlighted by the requirement for Texas schools to hire armed guards amid a shortage of police officers and high costs. There's clearly an emerging risk of a widening gap in protection services between the affluent, the government, and the less-affluent. Thus, a need for innovative, affordable security solutions to prevent the rise of organized crime filling the void. The private security sector must recognize its moral imperative to ensure security for all, not just the affluent. As security professionals, we should prepare for the new era of public safety and redefine security services in a challenging landscape.

In 2020, facing a surge of unrest in downtown Portland, Oregon, and with an overwhelmed police bureau, local business owners turned to Echelon Security. Founded in 2019, Echelon has pioneered a shared security model, allowing businesses in close proximity to collectively address common challenges, such as vagrancy and public drug use. This approach not only reduces costs but also enables officers to engage proactively with the community, reminiscent of the traditional "officer on the beat" method. The company's success, coupled with its commitment to community welfare through charitable endeavors, positions Echelon as a leading example of the evolving face of public safety in an era where traditional police services are strained.

Amidst rising concerns over slow police response times, many cities are seeking alternative solutions to manage non-life-threatening incidents. Baltimore, grappling with its high crime rate, has partnered with On Scene Service, a private firm specializing in motor vehicle accident response, following the successful implementation of a similar program in New Orleans. As police departments face declining numbers, the private sector is stepping in, not only to alleviate the strain on public resources but also to offer more efficient and cost-effective services. This shift signals a potential national trend, where trained security officers might increasingly handle responsibilities traditionally managed by the police, marking a significant pivot of public services to the private sector.

In a shifting narrative spanning two years, the media's portrayal of security officers, specifically from Echelon Protective Services in Portland, has evolved drastically. Once demonized and criticized, these officers are now presented as the last bastion against urban decay. Amidst the challenges faced by cities like Portland, private security firms like Echelon stand as both a testament to entrepreneurial spirit and an embodiment of societal needs in uncertain times. However, as the media spotlight pivots from skepticism to reluctant admiration, one must question: Is this an accurate portrayal or just another angle in the ever-changing landscape of media narratives?

Andre Boyer's S.I.T.E. Security is making waves as possibly the most innovative security agency in 2023. Providing an effective deterrent in areas where traditional 'observe and report' approaches fall short, Boyer's agency offers a new model of security that blends corporate security and law enforcement methodologies. The agency, equipped with state-of-the-art tools and continuous training, is shifting the security paradigm in the crime-ridden city of Philadelphia. S.I.T.E.’s model is a promising solution to the inefficiencies of the justice system and slow police response times, and it's being recognized as a likely trendsetter for future security services in major American cities.

In this compelling critique, we examine the state of corporate security in America, using Allied Universal Security as a case study. A shocking incident, wherein security officers allegedly stood by during an assault, and a broader discussion about the 'observe and report' ethos prevalent in modern, big corporate security. We raise challenging questions about the balance between company policy, personal responsibility, and moral duty, and suggest that an over-reliance on policy may be eroding the humanity and effectiveness of corporate security. The video concludes with a call for a new generation of security professionals willing to act heroically and prudently, even in the face of danger.

The Security Officer Network's guide to making the decision: Should I take a security guard job at Allied? Allied Universal is a giant in the American private security industry, often offering an accessible entry point into security jobs. However, the company's expansive, corporate nature isn't pleasant. While there are opportunities to learn, gain experience, and potentially leverage the position for future career development, it's critical for individuals to navigate the role with clear goals and a strategic career plan. The work environment, influenced by corporate policy and bureaucratic inefficiencies, impedes on-the-ground operations and cultivate an unenthusiastic work culture. However, despite the potential downsides, with the right mindset, a brief stint at Allied Universal can serve as a valuable stepping stone in a security career." # Resources The Security Officer Sample Consultancy White Paper https://securityofficernetwork.com/resources/white-paper TheSecurityOfficerNetwork.com Get your Security Officer Network membership ID, transcript and portfolio today.

In this video, we explore the difficulty level of the unarmed security test and provide insights into how to prepare for it. Sponsored by The Security Officer Network, we emphasize the importance of understanding your role as a security officer and utilizing common sense during the test. We explain that the test focuses on observing and reporting rather than enforcement duties. Key topics include patrolling, observation techniques, incident response, and report writing, with an emphasis on understanding terms like "Standard Operating Procedures" and "Post Orders." Detailed study is required for topics concerning emergency aid, assistance protocols, state licensing regulations, and legal matters. We offer strategic advice on tackling the test and suggest a contingency plan for those who don't pass at their first attempt. The video concludes with four tips to prepare for the test: downloading the Unarmed Security Guide, taking a free practice test, reviewing the state's licensing handbook, and joining The Security Officer Network. The video encourages thorough learning of the material to become a genuinely professional security officer.

From the author of the Unarmed Security Prep Guide and administrator of The Security Officer Network, this educational YouTube video explores a commonly asked question, "Can I work security if I have a felony?" In this comprehensive guide, the presenter navigates the often complex landscape of state regulations and laws regarding security licensure for individuals with criminal records. He emphasizes that while the specifics vary from state to state, many don't automatically disqualify applicants based on their criminal history. The presenter highlights the process of obtaining a security license, stressing the importance of disclosing any criminal history during the application process. He outlines how minor offenses, especially those committed long ago, may not hinder an applicant's chances, while serious crimes, particularly those involving violence, dishonesty, or a breach of trust, might pose significant barriers. Drawing upon legal precedents that mandate equal protection for felons, the presenter affirms the potential for rehabilitation and positive change, explaining that states are obliged to consider the circumstances of an individual's life, including their rehabilitation efforts, age at the time of conviction, and the nature of their crime. The video delves into specifics with an example from Florida's regulations on security licensing. There, an individual with a past felony can obtain a security license, provided the crime is at least ten years in the past and they can demonstrate a commitment to living responsibly. The presenter also introduces a helpful trick for individuals unsure of their application's success: a criminal history pre-screening process. This pre-determination method can save potential applicants the hassle and expense of submitting an application that may get rejected. Finally, the presenter urges viewers to remain updated on changes in state policies, giving examples from California and Maryland, and encourages anyone serious about a career in security to join The Security Officer Network for further support and resources. This insightful video is a valuable resource for those aiming to enter the security field despite past mistakes, providing information and encouragement to help them navigate the hurdles and forge a promising career path.
