Security Guard Help......?

Question

I'm 18 and still in High School,... currently I'm working fast food and its not working out. I want to work some kind of security, casino or wal-mart or even free lance but I'm enlisted to slip to Marine Corp boot camp in June so I dont have time to get a criminal justice degree. Once more, I am 18, so in my state I can legally own a rife (i do), but no hand guns till I'm 21...and I dont have that kind of time. So basically I'm asking if a security job at this point is possible. I wouldn't have a problem staying awake and I'm pretty fit. Also I have no bad records, not even a speeding ticket....

Answer 1

I'm not fully aware of all the laws of America, maybe you could go to a Cinema or something and ask.................

Answer 2

you shouldnt have a problem finding employment as an un-armed security officer. un-armed just means you wont/cant carry a firearm on duty. even considering your age, you classes are available to become certified to carry some type of spray.

two good place to get up to date information is: A) your state licensing board  and/or B) some place that provides training for new security guards to get licensed. where i live the larger guard companies have qualified people on staff to give the training. almost any firing range in the phone book gives the training or may be able to direct you to one that does.

oh and yours may differ but in my state the training is 16 hours (8 hour day x 2)

Answer 3

Look in the phone book for security guard companies, call them as ask if they are hiring.
