What about the Security Guards?

Kia Ora,

Today the NZ government signalled the increase of punishment for anyone attacking a Police officer or Corrections officer. Fair enough they need more protection.

But what about the Security Guards?

More often than not dealing with the same people on their own.



If the NZ Security Industry was professional in outlook it would be viewing Health & Safety as empowering to increase the numbers in line with international requirements.

It would be seizing this movement by the current government as a time to push its case prior to the Rugby World Cup 2011.

But not a peep out of any industry organization.

Their version of risk assessment is don't get involved. Well a lot of the idiots out there now do not care if you are involved or not. If you are there, they will attack in a group.



As I said in a previous blog, when a group of ten people showed up at one task here in Christchurch, some armed with iron bars.

They would of taken me on just for standing there, had it not been for a guard from another company coming across from their task for a chat & warning his mates over the radio.

As it stands there will be nothing done until guards start dying.

Oh & well done the Israeli patrol in the West Bank. Just normal soldiers, taking the mickey out of their situation. Seems, as with the NZ Navy reaction to people posing with firearms(something you will see the world over in the armed forces), that the world has gone too PC in the wrong places.

Just these days it goes over the internet!
