Reasons why, as the world turns, “WE”, security, stand still!

In Guards “WE” Trust! (Volume 1), is a chronicled presentation about past and current security functioning. Primarily, it targets “private security effectiveness” highlighting the view and disposition of the “security guard” to include; its diverse purposes, its supply and demand, along with methodologies targeted at uplifting this essential component. Comparisons and facts are presented regarding other protectors with badges, guns, and uniforms, in order to illustrate their exclusive purposes, and convey the public’s confidence, relevance, and expectations in each. The author has compounded five decades of personal protective service (hands on) experience, dedication, and motivation towards preparing the first volume of this work. Many areas addressed and presented are supported by an advocative (opinionated) solution, and an applicable faith based passage, representing humility. His greatest inspiration towards accountability was manifested after private security services were denounced as being subpar, by the serving President of the United States, following the 911 tragedy. It is time for striving to dispel negative myths regarding this profession, and “proving wrong” those who suggests, “As the World Turns, Private Security Guard relevance, Stands still!” Prevention and public safety are driving forces behind the author’s ambitions for initiating this project, and perhaps this information presented will shed some light on the fact that “WE” must cultivate our “Diamonds in the rough”; whereas, the results of our toil and cultivation will be vested, In Guards “WE” Trust!
