Punch in at 6am and have meeting with security supervisor on information passed on from previous shift as well as important information for the day.

Security team would then head over to the warehouse where drivers would load their trucks for the day with new appliances for customers.

When driver was finished loading truck i would have to check their paperwork with inventory of truck and log it into a hand held device. After all checked out i would escort driver and helper to the exit door .

Drivers were then wanded and searched before they were allowed to leave the warehouse.

After all trucks were loaded security would break up into designated roles, mine being front door of the store.

Each officer was required to communicate through radio/earpiece.

Being stationed at front entrance of store, allowed me to catch someone that had been coming in and stealing high end camera lenses . Other security had tried detaining and chasing him on previous shifts but were unsuccessful.

I was able to recognize his face and attire from pictures and videos we had reviewed via cctv cameras. I asked him what he was cupping in his sleeve, suspect took of running out of store through the parking lot. I was able to catch up to suspect who was combative when caught and able to detain him and bring him to my security supervisor. I also went to court to testify on behalf of my company. This led to my promotion and a much higher pay. The owners also gave me a nice letter and very nice bonus check for showing outstanding awareness and loyalty to the company.
