Security Work

Hey Guy's,

Decided i needed a job and one of the things that interest me would be doing security work.

I have looked at http://warsug.info/viewtopic.php?t=1546 ... y&start=15 and gathered that wilson security was a favorite.

Though at the moment i hold not certifications for security work i was looking into training with these guys and doing my cert II, III & senior first aid.

http://www.tacticaltraining.com.au/inde ... Itemid=180

At the moment im at tafe Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays during the day time and train with the SES on tuesday nights but all other times i'm pretty much just lounging about & i am able to work during nights and such.

So the point of this thread! i would like to have some opinions on the following:

With all the prior time commitments would company have use for me?

Has anyone heard about this training company? impressions?

Recommendations for companies to work with?

Whether these companys would hire someone without the experience?

Any other suggestions/ideas/rants would be appreciated!

Cheers,
Jason

Might see one of the guys tonight from my SES unit, works in security...Signature I think, they do everything from burglar alarms, to body guard work.

GDay mate,

I worked in security for 6 years before joining the Police and I had the time of my life. I recommend working in Government if you can as the pay and conditions

I have worked in Local Government Secuirty, that will coicide with your SES duties as allot of th tasks you will attend will be assisting the SES during operations or attending other incidents within your Local Government Juristiction.

I would also recommend Education Secuirty, last time I heard this was managed now by Group 4 Security but this may have changed, they do both mobile patrols and static guarding of schools right across the metro area.

Finally I would definatly recommend being a Transit Officer with the PTA, they pay well, its great fun, good bunch of people and its a secure government job........most of all though...its good fun!!

Good luck mate.

PM me if you want any advice in regards to any of the above.

Yes, ISS do it now. They are also looking for people at the moment both in the control room and on the road. (EdSec)

hey dazla

Yeh i have looked into working with Melville community safety and security but they don't have any openings but first thing's first i have to do the training

Thankyou so much for the info though!

I will definately look into those areas when once i do my certificates

Thanks Awk@night, Dazla, Tyranus, WPXZBP & TheDoc for your help and information, you lad's are the reason warsug is such a success.

I believe the City of Stirling has some openings at the moment, but yes you may find it more difficult to find work without the Cert 2 or 3 in Security Operations, as a side note I did mine through Valiant Security Solutions and got the Cert 3 and it was quite reasonably priced.

The good thing about EDsec is that most of their patrols are two up rather than single officer patrols and they have decent cars, not the little Accents that you see Chubb in, they also respond to alarms as well as disturbances etc at schools.

I would keep an eye on www.warangers.asn.au as they have a jobs section, they normally advertise all the WA Ranger and Local Government Security vacancies.

You could also consider becoming a local government Ranger, I have a few friends who do that around Perth and they really enjoy it.

It is a very interesting job. You get to see the very best and worst in people. If you have any questions give me a shout. Working for local overnment security is a good way to get into being a Ranger
