So, my job is pretty easy, stressful at times, but overall...EASY! I work uniformed armed security for a company based out of San Diego. I work multiple different sites and environments, everything from retail, housing, and executive protection. I get paid decent and I really don't have an immediate supervisor.
The other day, I'm working the retail gig and in walks a lady asking for help. Apparently a dispute and argument between family members occurred in their vehicle and reportedly a 19yr old pushed a 9yr old a few times. I request another security company to respond, as the initial incident occurred on their property/jurisdiction. I take the initial lead as I was contacted first and start an investigation. Long story short, I end up questioning the 19yr old and while doing so, unknown to me, I'm visually searching him, his car, and immediate surroundings. I ask a lot of questions, designed to gather Intel. I wasn't aware I did any of this. I was told by another security officer who was backing me up that he was watching everything I was doing and taking mental notes.
I guess my past training and experience will never leave me, I still use all my skills I was given and honed, it is like second nature to me.
End of story is, no one was hurt, no one was assaulted as per first reported and no one went to jail.
