Government subsidized  housing, duties vary, love the work.

My specialty is Housing and Campus safety including but not limited to:

1) Bullsh*t

2) The harrassment of random crackheads

3) The tasing of hippies

4) Bullsh*t

5) Deploying OC at hippies

6) Anything and Everything that involves hippies

7) Bullsh*tting with bored LEO's

8) Trying to avoid naked people

9) Slow motion foot pursuits of vandals and thieves (while listening to Chariots of Fire on our duty MP3 players)

10) Getting paid for all that hard flashlight jockying and key jangling.

Yes, we get a bonus for every crackhead we beat up, and every hippy we tase/spray. That bonus goes down for every raccoon, squirrel, chipmunk, or possum that gets maced or tased though, so we usually end up with nada. And we learned that shaving cats to look like poodles is frowned upon in some circles. (SEO shrugs)

Man that brought back memories SEO last time i shaved a cat i got the crap kicked out of me cause my friends mom misunderstood what i said when she asked what me and her were doing.

well, my specialty working the hospital beats....alas currently I'm stuck in a really boring job sitting in front of several computer consoles monitoring alarms and camera systems for a half dozen sites across the US & another half dozen around the globe.... so I get to call folks in India all night long to tell them about alarms and it doesn't matter what kind of alarm I tell them about.... door, card reader. fire, etc they all give the EXACT same answer "Ok I check the door."  on the plus side I do get paid really well for it.

My specialty is CCTV instalation and service, lead fire system operator and all around back up tecnology guy when the technologist is gone. No extra pay for all that stuff either. Oh, I also have to deal with the smart a$$ new guy that thinks he is gods gift to the job!! I definately don't get paid enough!!

Just curious what our community members do in their field.

As for me, I'm in patrol.  I supervise about 30+ employees in my district and hit about 21 different sites between two and five times a night. 

And have you ever had to pull that gun with the flashlight jamed up behind it, how do you supervise others when you can't properly set up your own pistol belt?

DOH!

He never answers my questions, he may teach me something here that I didn't know.

Valid question... I'd hate to be in a situation like that and be unable to draw....

That's not my pistol belt in the picture.  It's just an avatar.  I use a Blackhawk CQC level II holster with SERPA trigger lock.  And my pistol is the only piece of equipment on my right side.

 

The pistol or the holster was never in question. The question was about your magzine holster and why it opens to the back instead of the front....

Wrong thread, CBone.  You're thinking about the guy in the uniform thread.

You current on your Anti-Hippy league certification and Kumbia Combat Course?

I just re-certified on the kumbi-ya course last week.... but I have never been a member of the Anti-Hippy League.... besides keeping hair an acceptable uniform appearance length are there any other costs?

My specialty WAS catching people, when employed as security at a local mall, at 2am in the mall parking lot doing the nasty...I would catch 3 or 4 different couple EVERYNIGHT I worked. I averaged 10 couples a week. ahh it takes mighty skill to catch that let me tell you..

Besides making sure the building doesn't blow away in the latest string of Tornado's out here and floats away in the floods the midwest is suffering under, I do my part for gravity by holding as many chairs down as possible.

Seriously, patrol, especially when employees are in the building. Computer programmers are not very healthy and I need to keep up on my CPR and AED certifications.

Surfing PL is also in the job description, I think. Maybe it is the Post Orders.

I'm thinking about adding an addendum to require PL on all our computers, for officer safety, of course.

That's not a bad idea, makes a 16 hour double go by faster.....

I think I need more chairs to hold down though.....

Amen to that, especially when the second half of that double is mid to 8.

7 to 15 is ok, 15 to 23 is ok, but 7 to 23 yeah that stinks...............

Sending plenty of caffeine your way, and sandbags to help with the flooding

The sandbags will help hold stuff down from the tornados also, thanks. The Coffee is always welcome.....
