You're one of the few. I recall an encounter with a "security officer" who wanted to "help" my team search a condo for an armed fugitive. The individual got in the way more than assisted and at one point the fugitive nearly escaped when he locked a door that we needed to get through....

Most smartphones have a "ICE" or "emergency contact" feature. I would recommend using it by listing names of people that can help if you did have some sort of emergency. I've also seen people (especially the elderly) have medical alert tags/bracelets/pendants, etc made up and use...

I've seen prisoners transported by UNARMED guards! Don't think SMG would be necessary here in the U.S. as the methods used to transport limit the need for such a weapon.

Most places go back 10 years or so. Be as thorough as you possibly can, be sure your timeline is complete. Any gaps in employment should be explained and may help jog your memory of what you were doing or where you were working at the time....

So if you have a call for service at that business, will you disarm before entering?...

Not too familiar on the current process. I have a buddy that used to be in HR, I'll see what I can find out....

There all over the place. Lots of folks living in "Ewa Beach" or "Kapolei" due to the cost of housing there. This would work out pretty well while you're in the academy as the academy is in "Waipahu" which is pretty close to both. Commute times have become outrageous...

I was contacted by email requesting me to contact them by phone to unlock my account. At first I was hesitant, but after checking with a few colleagues, they assured me that all they were looking to do is verify my identity. All sensitive data was redacted (bank balances, SS#, etc.) Kind of pizzed...

Why not fish on an area that's not so sketchy? I do my best to avoid areas where it appears that there may be trouble....
