Security Officers (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

While nearly everyone recognizes the roles of police, firefighters, and paramedical teams as first responders, most people fail to recognize the role of private security. These men and women who don a private badge and go to work every day never know what they will face before the sun goes down, or comes up, as the case may be. Some don't live to see another sunrise. This book was written to highlight the importance of their role in society. The brutally honest stories told here were almost exclusively experienced by the author. Exceptions to this statement are so noted. It is time for the stereotypes of Barney Fife and Paul Blart to be laid to rest as the fictional parodies they are. Though the stereotypes are at times accurate, far more prominent are the bravery and dedication of men and women who stand on the front lines of society, willing to take on what may come. Few people may realize the dangers they face, the heartbreak they live in, and the "zero to a hundred" jump start they suddenly experience when things go sour. Little known are the stories of the men and women who hold things together until the "real heroes" arrive to appear on the news. Now is their time; today is the day that security professionals are recognized as being what they really are...TRUE FIRST RESPONDERS!
