Security Officer @ Dynamic Security in Valparaiso, IN
"I love to provide help to those in need of it. Being able to provide security for residential and commercial buildings. Assisting residents and persons in need through emergencies just leaves a special feeling in my heart. It feels wonderful to know I have helped someone through a hardship."

Security Officer @ Allied Universal in San Bruno, CA
"Denying the opportunity for wrong doers does give satisfaction while on the job. Examples include someone trying to spray paint and make graffiti will be denied, someone attempting to urinate on the side of a building denied, trespassing denied, theft of catalytic converters blocked, when a fight occurs don't get in the middle but try to break it up. I hate being a target of aggression because someone wants to run a stop sign or because you won't allow shady activity to occur. Some people will bring anger and violence when you attempt to make the environment safe and secure for everyone there."
