With all the hoopla,
and deep concern over COVID-19 or Da Rona. Everybody, and I mean, EVERYBODY, health is at
risk. You, and people around you, can die. Die I said. Dead. Gone. Outta here.
Finite. No coming back to protest your State house crying about re-opening the
city. Since 9/11, Mass shootings at schools, and 10/1 in Vegas. The Police,
Nurses, Doctors, Paramedics, Firefighters, and Medical Assistants of all types,
are in the hospitals and streets, taking care of people more than ever. Doing
their jobs as essential employees. As First Responders. My question is,
"Where's the acknowledgment and respect for Security Officers that are
doing their jobs as First Responders?"
Security
Officers/Professionals are First Responders. We are essential employees. Do not
misunderstand me, I am not "hating" or "talking shit" in
any kinda way. I am bringing to light what most of you refuse to see. All the
talk about Police, Firefighters and Medical personnel, you forget that Security
Officers are out there too, getting abused, maimed, or killed. Wherever there
is a business, there is at least one Security Officer watching over that
property and products. Making sure that the certain types of Las Vegans don't
fuck with what not theirs.
We're the First line
of defense for whatever company or gub' ment lobby the general public walks
into? When the public show up to speak with someone in the back (Director,
Manager, Supervisor). Who you think gets all the attention and attitude from
them first? Security.
Has anybody given a
thought about who sits in the lobbies of hospitals, offices, courthouses, or
dispensaries? Security.
When the people in
the "back" make the public mad. Who do you think they continue to
take it out on? Security.
They go on and on
and on, and all we can do is take it. And, take it we do because that's the
job. Security Professionals are First Responders, even if you won't admit it.
In all cases, we are the ones there as the primary when something serious
happens. We make the calls. We fill out those reports. We are questioned and
ask to view the cameras, if available.
From before,
COVID-19 or Da Rona has given Security Professionals more work due to the state
shut down. Believe it or not, we are working harder due to certain people are
finding this as an opportunity to invade other people's property. With Nevada
being in a Fiscal State of Emergency there will probably more knuckleheads for
First Responders, Security Officers like myself, to prevent from invading your
home/businesses.
