This is how security companies should operate. Professional operations will earn top dollar from clients.
The Private Security Lettering needs to be larger!!
I was thinking the same thing lol
Amazing,so companies like this makes us look good ,thanks Shaun this was awesome
Thank you 🙏🏼
Love it, I think all security, especially armed should be at a minimum EMR certified
That would be great
Yep, that's a good class to take, and it's fun too 👍
@@TheAngrySecurityGuardChannel thanks for adding to the dialogue man! You’re 100% right, in reality you’re just keeping your patient alive until the ALS unit makes it on scene.
I do security part time, but work at a medical company full time under medics. I guess I just wish more people would strive to be better in this industry. A lot of times, the EMR cert. is a precursor to the EMT license.
I haven’t been able to find good credible BLS courses outside of some online garbage that wouldn’t help me. EMR teaches you BLS and some, which is why I opted to go that route, and I am almost done with my EMT course 💪🏽
Loving the CWPS videos, Great company!
I got two or three more on the way. Same company
“Security patrol” should be visible from at least 50 feet away, the way they have it labeled is a little sketchy and deceiving… great company but trying to look a little over the top official, that might not get you into trouble with the law but it could get you into trouble in a different way if you know what i mean
Excellent video, hope we can get more videos like this 👍
Thank you 🙏🏼
Need to get these in Nashville TN
More Security Companies should operate! CWPS should be nationwide! Amazing!
We use phones that have been modded into body cams as well. We also took some phones and converted them into radios for communication. We’ve been using those modded phones since 2019. I’ll make a video on it sometime.
I seen that set up a couple months ago when I did a social media review on citywide protection services in San Diego
Live in Atlanta ga. Wish I could work with an organize Company like this one.
I am sure there are companies like that in your area. I hope you find a good employer soon.
We got to get you a full time camera man Shaun.
This company seems to be running a great operation. I'd love to see some comments in this section from employees. Great Job CWPS!
I know right! I need a cameraman. This way I can record the whole face. Lol . So far, no ex-employees have contacted me off-line to complain. I get really good vibes with this company.
I do have a question about the use of spot lights. The CA vehicle code no longer has an exemption for Security Patrol vehicles and I've heard of patrol officers being stopped and cited. In fact some companies no longer use spot lights on their vehicles to avoid the hassle. I hear CHP is the agency who often times are the agency issuing the cite. My question is, does this company have or had issues with LE in the area including CHP regarding their vehicles and if not, I'm curious to why when other PPOs do?
@@socalsecurityspecialist864 I have no idea. Another subscriber contacted me off-line about this. I think that any law enforcement officer should use their discretionary authority in such a way that makes sense.
Maybe charge our CHP friends triple for protection services? That should cover the cost of removing spot lights on our used LEO units.
That daily 911 in florida will get you jammed up
Oh really! It’s perfectly legal in California, surprisingly
@@crimbullet I'm surprised 😮
Really great and professional looking cars, legit better equippred than my countries police
This seems like a solid security company, but I don't really like the vehicles. They are very official looking, but barely indicate that they are security. It's ridiculous that "SECURITY PATROL" is in such small lettering on the back portion of the vehicles. That wording should absolutely be more prominent.
They can't mislead the public if they do that 😂
The hate for security is nasty in here
Do you know if they leased their vehicles? It wouldn;t make financial sense to buy them because they do have to switch them out 5-6 years as he mentioned.
I believe they purchased them, but I’m not sure. They have a lot of money.
Security patrol should be written in large font so you can see them..
How large?
@@crimbullet large enough that you don't have to find where it is written, like you see "Police" written on police cars,
Great looking cars, but they fail on compliance. In CA Security Patrol vehicles are only authorized to use amber lights. Even emergency vehicles meeting CA Title 13 are not allowed to flash white to the rear.
This is an excellent point. The area you are speaking of is a grey area. As long as there is no city or county ordinance for peace officers to enforce traffic laws on private property, it is questionable whether the CVC is applicable to private property. Once you hit public roads, then there is an issue. Most security companies have to travel on public roads to gas up or arrive on contracted property.
You can have red and blue lights no problem, as long as you are on private property. If you ever had a patrol officer position you would know that.
🤞🦅
So have you thought about quitting your job Shaun and working for these guys?
Ken, that’s a good question. I won’t be going anywhere for the next 7 years. My pay would have to be in the $200,000 + to do any move right now.
But the only problem that I have with push bumpers now is they are not made as tough for as well as they used to be anymore because they’re mostly being made in China and Mexico Russia Japan and so many other countries it’s hard to name them all off.
They got real nice patrol cars we got ford escapes that are barely running lol😂
Wow 🤦🏽♂️
@@crimbullet yeah I wish we can have law enforcement graded vehicles
3rd,
First
I know it doesn't count but it's almost impossible to beat Doug!
@@socalsecurityspecialist864 😎
They want to be cops so bad
Not in compliant this vehicle is in violation of 25279(b)(1) Private Security is Required in Californian
Check out the right rear fender.
Im suprised the great state of California approved this color and decal setup for this company. Its borderline
California does not approve security patrol vehicles; however, they do inspect vehicles on random audits.
@@crimbullet my bad for some reason I thought bsis had to approve vehicle decals and colors.
No worries
Definitely dont look like pootential for impersonation......
Just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt but I personally believe this company is trying way to go out of its way to look like San Diego Police Department, Specifically the uniforms and vehicles are what strike me as being the most similar to San Diego PD, now with all of that said I no way shape or form intend to be disrespectful to the company, the companies employees and the business owner I just felt like sharing my personal thoughts and would love to engage in a respectful conversation with anybody who disagrees with me. Everyone stay safe out there 🇺🇸 🦅
@@TheAngrySecurityGuardChannel The vests are utilitarian and serve a legit purpose - easing back and hip problems down the road from carrying all the gear on the belt. Taking weight off the belt, and moving it on to a load bearing vest reduces potential for back strain or injury - which is common to any field where one carries a lot of equipment on their belt. Every cop, security guard, or even construction guy who wears a tool belt I know who's done it for a few years has hip and back pain issues - the old timers have chronic issues because of it.
This company doesn't really go overboard with the tactical look - they're not wearing SWAT style gear, and given that security typically mimics law enforcement uniforms - this one doesn't look different than you'd expect to see from a typical patrol cop in a modern uniform.
The old class B uniforms look cool - but looking cool should be secondary to function and safety. If you have to carry all the tools - you should be able to carry them in the most efficient manner that's least injurous to your body. You could argue that security should wear different color uniforms - perhaps even a color set aside in the law for security only, that LE agencies couldn't wear - high visibility red perhaps, high visibility yellow (but that would mean a lot of LE would have to switch to something like the high vis blue for units like motors / bicycle / special duties) or perhaps a "security gray" color. Something that would visually distinguish you from law enforcement.
Then you have to take into account the officer presence aspect in general - given today's social climate and the prevalent attitudes by people - are you more or less likely to gain compliance if you look the part, so long as your attitude is professional to back it up? Could well be dependent on your location, but in a major urban area, its quite possible the more tactical look is likely to gain compliance more often than either the old school class B, or the more relaxed appearance of a polo.
As for the cars - exterior setup - eh. Warning lights are unnecessary for most situations, but valuable in some. These slicktops are less obnoxious than a lot of others I've seen. Regarding the interior of the cars - there's only so many ways to set them up with light control, radio, and computer. If you have warning lights - you need a switch panel at least. Everyone should have a portable radio with their vehicle since the vehicle radios tend to have more punch than hand helds, so you need someplace for that to go. Then the computer (or tablet, as a lot of companies are moving to) - it needs to be setup in a useable fashion. If you're using CAD software, and not just typing reports on it - you need it to be accessible, so how else would you set it up?
I read in an earlier comment that California law doesn't allow for the use of a spotlight - that is incredibly stupid, but California's law makers are known to do some really stupid things. A security patrol vehicle should have a spotlight - makes inspecting properties a lot safer and easier, and spotlights have a more focused, useful beam typically than the takedowns found on modern LED light bars. The patrol vehicle I drive does not have a spot light (I'm not in Cali, and the truck originated in Colorado) but has takedowns and allies built into the light bar (Whelen) and they suck. I bought a more powerful flashlight with a useable beam, that gets used as a hand held spotlight during my rounds. A pillar spotlight would be far superior.
I'll agree that security vehicles shouldn't look too much like police cars - put a company logo and phone number on the door, the appropriate business license number if necessary, and maybe the word "SECURITY" so its visible on all four sides in letters tall enough to be seen from at least a hundred feet. You don't need fancy graphics packages. If you wanted to go down the authoritarian path a bit - I wouldn't even be opposed to requiring security patrol vehicles to have a paint scheme that is standardized and easily recognizeable as a security patrol vehicle - again something like high vis yellow that no police or fire department would be using. That *might* cut down on security impersonating police and making traffic stops or trying to run code in security cars.
@@TheAngrySecurityGuardChannel My gear, too, is carried all on my belt - the two jobs I work don't use outer carriers. For my armed job, I have my pistol, mags, OC, baton, one single set of cuffs, a TQ up front, and a small medical kit - its carried on the belt right now because I haven't found a cargo pocket sized pouch to fit and organize the gear in it (chest seals, another TQ, gauze, tape).
My unarmed job is at a hospital - we are required to carry a glove pouch, taser, and cuffs. I carry my light on my belt there as its easier to access while in the truck, and I have a radio carrier because the shitty belt clips Motorola uses don't hold and I've almost broken a radio a couple times using them.
Yeah, armor is heavy and is no friend to the back - but distributing weight between a load bearing vest and the belt saves problems in the long run. Back Savers or external suspenders can go a good way to easing the hip and lower back issues of carrying gear.
As for the amount of gear carried by myself - and good deal of other security guards - it comes down to checking off use of force options. I have two less-lethal options, besides going hands on, before escalating to my firearm. The OC and the baton serve different roles. In my first go-round in security, I didn't carry a baton - just OC + lethal. I decided to add a baton based on perspectives gained from instructors I've had, and other officers, plus guys like Shaun here on YT.
The other gear is medical - when I first entered security, no one carried medical on body, and neither did most cops. Now almost every armed security guard and police officer has a TQ and at least a small med kit to at least treat their own wounds if they get shot or stabbed.
You could save weight not carrying medical, and not having less lethal options, not carrying any cuffs - but then you wind up potentially causing problems for yourself in other avenues. If your only use of force options beyond words are fists and bullets you could be facing legal / civil issues, or be at higher risk for injury during a use of force event. Not carrying medical may not be as bad - given how many other people have it these days, but also depends on how quick that medical is to arrive and get treatment started.
Where you work, the conditions you work under, and employer policies color all those decisions - or should. Someone working a quiet post in a low population area doesn't likely need a lot of gear. Someone working in a shitty neighborhood in Houston, LA, Portland, or Gary Indiana is probably more likely to need all the crap listed above.
The Dial 911 decal and Emblem of the company’s motto/logo are overkill. We all know to dial 911 in a real emergency and the emblem is blatant likeness to law enforcement agencies emblem and positioning. It’s clear you’re trying to make it appear as a police vehicle as a generalized glance but it’s cringy to see them try too hard. Stop it.
