ALEXANDER CABRERA
Los Angeles,CA
Summary
I’ve spent the last couple of years working security in busy public spaces where things can turn fast. I’ve dealt with confrontations, from homeless situations to aggressive fans and guests, and learned how to keep things calm without letting them escalate. When incidents happen, I handle my part and work alongside law enforcement, including during arrests, and make sure everything is documented clearly after.
I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, CPR and First Aid certified through the American Red Cross, and I stay aware of what’s going on around me. I’m used to pressure, and I don’t panic in it. I stay steady, handle what’s in front of me, and keep things under control.
