I have spent 6 years as an LEO (Law Enforcement Officer) and currently work as a Flex Officer with one of the largest Security Firms in the World. I am on call 24/7, 365, and go from site to site when positions need to be filled. I recently obtained my Level III Certification allowing me to carry a weapon on Duty. I have also worked in the Oil and Gas Industry for 25 years, observing the Security measures these companies have to take for the US Government and Countries for which they ship.Michael touches on every single point possible that anyone needs to know in the Security Industry. Whether you’re an ole pro or a newbie, or wanting to start a Security Firm yourself, this is the book you need to read. His point of views are firsthand knowledge and he makes great points in regards to how we can improve the image of the Modern Day Security Firm and Officer. Does anyone really feel they have a need for Security? Unless your wealthy and can afford a Body Guard, or you’re a large Corporation and your budget allows it, or it’s required in the Industry you are in, Security is a luxury. However, Security is one of the most important areas of Society we can have. Especially since 911. Michael explains what is needed to improve the image of the Security Industry in this day and age. His passion for Security is evident in this book. He offers practical implementations in order to reduce costs, improve your Officer’s day to day life while at work, and give practical life examples that he has lived. He provides ways Security Firms can implement a better method of training – especially on the job training. Without on the job training, you are not only putting your company in harm’s way – not to mention in a huge bind legally should something happen – but your client as well. He offers a simple explanation on reducing costs – which would allow your company to pay their officers better – to reward them when they have done right and even ways of discipline when something goes wrong. Michael offers ways you can secure your Home, your business (whether small or large) as well as your Personal Safety. He explains in detail what steps to take when contracting Security as well as the Fundamentals of Security. There is nothing that he has missed, even down to the smallest of details in regards to a Security Officer’s Uniform!I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have. I hope you learn ways you can help your Company improve in today’s world. I hope that you take this book and require it as reading material for every employee. I feel, with the steps written in this book, the gap between the way the Law Enforcement Community looks on the Security Industry will improve drastically. It has too. We can no longer afford to have a lackadaisical attitude when it comes to our Security and the need for it. Teaching your Employees the basics written within this book will not only help them become better Officer’s, but it just might make them look at what they’re doing as a Career, in lieu of just a Job.Enjoy!-Alberta Brett
