Local Security Issues

This week, a co-worker and other fellow co-workers that I work with at a local security company, we had an issue with our security equipment not working properly, and one co-worker wrote this note that I am posting here. 

"During my patrol, I noticed that there were several Detex Buttons that were not properly registering, or none at all. Any officer that notices the same problem they are having on their shift are to make a note of it and report it to the supervisor on duty and to our client or R/P. This is an unfair act that we as officers are putting in the extra work to perform our jobs correctly. It messes with our time gaps and leads to so many discrepancies. Another security post is having the same problem as we are here at our security post. Some of the detex buttons are old, and need to be replaced as soon as possible or until we get the ok from our account manager. I and other officers as well have been sending our Irregularity Reports up north, and have received no responses back, from management. If many officers were to speak up, and complain about the security equipment failing about on post, it might just be corrected and in the amount of time it takes, and as quickly as possible, so that we can all get in a good day of work done."  Officer Moore.

Now I, and many security officers for the local security company, we all agree on this issue, and we do need the correct equipment to work with, but we can't get our jobs done if no security equipment is repaired, corrected or replaced with new equipment, much like our security truck with a nonfunctional window on the driver side of the security vehicle. The security truck recently went to the repair shop and only the disc drums and brakes were replaced but the driver side window was refused service, I and many officers our concerned that someone might discover that the driver side window will be easy access to push downward climb into the truck cabin and take off with the darn vehicle from our post, never to see that security vehicle again. Management acknowledges this issue, but does not want to do anything about it. So, how is a security vehicle supposed to be safe for us to utilize, when apparently it is not a safe vehicle for us, when a small or big problem has gone around for so long? Until one of us fixes that problem on our own? Sometimes it is handled, sometimes not. all we can do is hope, and pray that something gets done right for a change. We ask those to help out our security firm with whatever, so that we can continue to provide security 24/7, and to make our neighborhoods once again, as completely safe as possible. We really do need it. Cheers.
