I am a Security Officer Stan, and there are some that I met that would never make it as a real Cop because of their "God" attitudes. There are some folks you can not give authority to.

When I started to work as Security five years ago there was one in my class that immediately didn't like me. I told my hunting buddy Jon, a Police Officer who was getting a part time job with the same company. He thought I was crazy, but as time went on he saw it too. He told me I was right and ask if I knew why. I didn't know , but could just feel it. He said "because you are something he can never be" "he's jealous of you". He also pointed out that the training officer was the same way, a retired Air Force Sgt. I had problems with that Training Officer until they demoted him for trying to disqualify officers he didn't like. Such as me.

So I may paint with a broad brush, but I paint with past experience. I will add, all of those Officers I work with who have been Cops at one time or another, retired or not, stick together at training and get along with each other. I must say though, that there is a particular snobbery against Security Officers that haven't been Cops and I guess I am guilty of that.
