What does everybody think about security officers having badges?
So I work for Security company that typically had us working in rougher areas. When I started, I would just wear a polo and a holster with a Clock 19. A few weeks after I started working my boss told me I needed to get a vest. Luckily my birthday was coming up so my parents got it for me. I’m 29 by the way, but I’m not gonna turn down a free gift for my parents lol. That being said in my opinion, I received a lot more respect not when I have the best, but when I have the vest and the badge. Also, before anyone starts calling me a police officer,wanna be. I always made sure to identify myself as Security, but people frequently called me officer.
I would also typically wear this badge around my neck with a chain. So what does everyone think about security guards/officers wearing badges?
