Look at me look at me….

Retail security policy

After watching this video it made me wonder if this security guard’s employer would support her doing this with a subject.

When I first saw it I thought it was pretty cool that she didn’t back down, but the more I thought about it the more I came to the conclusion that fighting over it isn’t worth the risk.

If you work retail security, what’s your company policy and would you put yourself out there to save goods from being stolen?

Security guard with command presence uses force

This video is worth a look. This guy’s been featured on here before. At first glance, he looks awkward with his kit stuffed full of all the tools he thinks he might need.

While watching this video, I was pleasantly surprised at the way he handled this encounter with a hostile customer who was visibly angry and physically larger than him.

At the beginning of the video, the guard displays solid command presence and stands his ground. He appears to have strong communication skills and confidence as he tries to get the male to leave the store. The male seems to be somewhat compliant, however at about the 00:30 mark, you’ll see the guard feels the threat escalating and he reaches for the pepper spray on his belt.

The guard does this in a controlled and steady manner and he’s prepared to deploy the spray the moment he realizes the contact is escalating. The short, steady bursts are aimed at the male’s face like most of us are trained to do. The guard follows through with the appropriate amount of force necessary to handcuff the man and detain him for PD.

In my opinion, this is a great example of remaining professional and knowing your strengths and abilities, no matter your physical size as a security guard. The guard pictured remains calm and in control during a potentially dangerous situation that results in the successful apprehension of the male subject.

What do you think?

(I edited the video to just under one minute for this post, but it didn’t change the outcome. The male was successful handcuffed by the guard and it appears the guard is uninjured.)

Is the user account deleted or suspended?

Hello. I’m trying to understand a users account status.

On the sub thread where I’m a mod, I can still see their profile name next to their comments, but the comments aren’t publicly visible and are dark shaded and hidden from the main thread unless I click on them. When I click on them the red box says “removed”although I can still see the comments.When I click on the profile name while in the thread comments, it goes to the blank screen that says suspended by Reddit. Does this mean:

A) They [deleted] their account.
B) They blocked me.
C) Reddit suspended their account.

If it’s A, why can I still see their username on the comment thread even though it’s gone now from the chat thread we had in DMs. In our chat thread, there’s the generic emoji and the username is replaced by [deleted].

If it’s B, if they blocked me would I still be able to see their username and comments on threads as a mod? And, if they blocked me why does it say “suspended by Reddit” when I click on their username still visible in the comments thread of the sub I mod.

If it’s C, why does it show [deleted] next to their still visible one on one chat thread? And if Reddit suspended the account, why can I still see their username and comments on a sub thread even if it’s hidden?

My goal is to understand an account status when it show conflicting information on chat vs a sub thread. Is a Reddit suspension temporary or permanent?

Thanks for your help and input.

If an account is suspended by Reddit, what does that person’s username look like in the chat log?

I’m having trouble understanding a users status. I’ve been chatting with someone for awhile now and suddenly they’re gone.

I’m chat, the username shows as [deleted], but next to their comments on a sub we’re both in their username still shows next to their comments, but the comments aren’t visible anymore, only their username. When I click on the username, it comes back account suspended by Reddit.

Does anyone know why this happened? If it was suspended by Reddit, why does the username say [deleted] in chat, but still shows in the thread? Wouldn’t that show deleted as well? Is the suspended account gone for good or can it come back?

Has anyone here transitioned from sworn LE into security as a private citizen?

I’m looking for tips and suggestions that worked for you in regard to resetting your mindset while still maintaining command presence and officer safety. The specific situation is going from a career in LE to a retirement job in entertainment security, one on one with the artist(s) and event security.

How do you tone it down after you’ve spent a career having the ability to go hands on when needed and taking bad guys to jail?

Man stealing a Flock camera while draped in an American flag. What would you do if you came upon this?

Apparently this happened in Florida, but I cant verify exactly where. Security is following him out of the lot, but if he decides to not retreat and come at them while still holding the pole he’s going to have a weapon they’ll have to deal with. Why not stand down from a position of safety until PD arrives so they can deal with the arrest and crime case?

No need to put yourself out there and close the distance between the subject and yourself if you don’t need to.
