Ep. 31 W/ Special Guest Tyler Pool

During the Super Tuesday Ballots, Proposition 1 was proposed to the state of California to help address homelessness. In this ballot a proposition of 6.38B dollars which would half tax paying Americans  310 Million for the next 30 years which equates to paying 42,000 for each homeless individual in the state of California....While Private Security Services was not included with the Prop 1. Millions of Americans will continue to deal with public safety, as Law Enforcement has been saturated, leaving many local businesses and residents of California without many options in protection of themselves or property. In this weeks Podcasts, we will be weighing in the positive and negatives of the Proposition and how it will affect everyday persons working in the mental and behavioral field if the law passes. 

Because we skipped an Episode....Ever wonder who is behind the help who has been locally known as the guy that's rides on his motorcycle tank? In this weeks Podcast we have put a face to the helmet of MC member of The Rising Sons, Kris.  Kris explains his experiences while riding his motorcycle and how he uses his time on his bike as therapy.

As Tasers continue to become popular with those working in the private sector. We have to ask ourselves, are tasers the right choice for security officers? Due to the lack of non-lethal options available for Security Officers, Tasers have become the next option. All though Tasers are "non-lethal", they still potentially carry a risk for injury or death if misused without the proper training. Understanding and learning the proper use of Tasers can help prevent injury or death. 

It's Showtime! Do you ever feel like you are being watched or recorded? Being under the public microscope can be hard when deploying the wrong guards on properties. Working security or any job that requires face to face interactions can be difficult when having someone who does not have the communication skills. Being in the public eye...showing up to work and pretending we are being watched the second we arrive on the property we have been assigned to. 

Life is a Movie! Let's pretend we are the main character and put on a good show! 

As we enter the New Year sticking to a healthy diet can be difficult under normal circumstances and particularly challenging for Security Guards and Law Enforcement  who may have irregular work schedules and limited access to cooking equipment. Most security professionals and Law Enforcement work long hours and can find it hard to get proper nutrition during the workday. In today’s fast-paced society...Living a healthy lifestyle has become vital.

In todays Podcast we will sit with the Fitness Veteran Tyler Pool who is the owner of The Fit Spot LLC.  and a Personal Trainer here in Bakersfield, CA.  Tyler will help us navigate ways to work around the ever changing schedules and odd shifts.

This weeks Podcast, we interviewed Mixed Martial Arts Fighter and Owner of Burgos Jiu Jitsu Academy.  Art explains his operations of the gym and the importance of being able to effectively defend yourself when you are unable to remove yourself from a threatening situation. 

As crime continues to rise, Security Guards have become a prime target for crime and we have learned that many in the Private Sector have no formal training or knowledge of Mixed Martial Arts. Law Enforcement has been seen struggling when detaining difficult individuals and many have no training in martial art. How can Security and First Responders become an effective component when protecting ourselves. 

As the holiday is rapidly approaching, Tis the season of giving for most individuals...But is also the feeding ground for criminals to take advantage of people, businesses, and residential areas. In todays Podcast, let's explore safer options for a safe holiday season. 

Ever feel like someone is watching you?? Live Stringers, commonly known as "Live Streamers" or "Street Media" are at every high priority 911 call. What do they do for our society? Are they a bunch of Karens with cameras? Or are they help to the society we are living in today? In this weeks podcasts, we are focusing on Live Streamers and public safety concerns they oppose when they are on the streets. 

We ask ourselves, what do Live Stringers have to do with Private Security? well... lets find out! 

Anyone working the Private Sector is considered a "Private Citizen" in the eyes of the Law.  As a private security guard/officer you have no powers more than a citizen walking across the street in plain clothes, Todays Podcast, we are focusing on the legalities of the term "Citizens Arrest". What is wrong and what is right when conducting an arrest? 

For those working in the private sector and even small and large businesses have been affected by the over use of drugs. Many cities and states have taken to private security to help redirect the persons under the influence of drugs. Drugs have became a norm and has led many Americans into Homelessness which many of us have seen an increase in homelessness.  People under the influence of drugs or alcohol can be challenging to deal with, causing problems with other members of the public.
