I was thinking about my first job in security, and was kind of thankful for the opportunity. I was a security guard at a police HQ on the night shift and the criminal investigation branch during the day.
Man, I had some interesting encounters with the general public, well the very sketchy portions of the general public.
It was kind of cool to roll in unmarked police cars on occasion and tote some sort of police ID. The responsibility sort of gave me some direction when I needed it.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity, you know who you are!
