Choosing the Right Security Guard and the Most Effective Weapons

Hi, my name is Paul. Over the years, I have worked as a security guard, hired security guards and even testified in criminal trials. I have seen the cycle of crime and guarding from every angle (except from the angle of a criminal). I believe that gives me unique perspective and allows me to look at security guards and their posts in innovative ways.

I hope my experience and research helps you.
