Guards not feeling "Safe"
As an Operations Manager it really grinds my gears when I have a guard come to me after working a basic site (retail center) for some time and all of the sudden tell me they don't feel safe. This usually happens after they get busted not patrolling or not being on site, basically not doing their job. I've been standing post, vehicle patrolling, and doing events for about 10 years in this industry and I can't say I've ever felt truly unsafe.
My opinion is that this job comes with a uniform with patches and a badge, Use of Force policies and Arrest policies as well as training and certificates to carry defensive tools, up to a firearm... This job is inherently dangerous. At the end of the day, our only true mandate from the state is to Observe and Report.
Outside of someone who gives me a legitimate reason to feel unsafe, they were threatened, or they have gang activity, shootings, wildlife issues(yea thats happened)... AITA for telling them they should look for a different career and actively look to replace them.
