  1. Our police officers and securities are being treated like crap. They’re poorly paid but yet every day they have to put their lives on the line to ensure that other people are safe. Also the Government needs to tackle poverty so that folks don’t resort to crime.

    1. @Black And Proud thank you for the correction. I thought I had spelt it out. A lot of folks don’t understand the denotation of the word but alas

    2. The man talking the truth I I yse to work with that company wicked set of managers guards man owner only cares about managers and they dont want u to rest

    3. @Preston Matthews No worries, e realized it was a mistake on your part. Sometimes when you typing, especially fast and not paying attention the device select what it(AI) feels instead of what you wanted. All good

  2. I had to leave that work. Waking up 2.30 to go to work sometimes you forget to take up your tie as your barely awake and you get penalized but you are now sent on the job without proper protective gears and minimal pay and until someone dies then there is a conversation that essential dissappears in thin air without the problem being rectified.

  3. If someone should tell you go work as a police or security guard without the proper tools only getting paid $60k $380usd every two weeks with a 80% chance getting killed or go join a gang of 5 well trained ex police or soldier and make 8 million in 1 day only work 15 minutes with a 20% chance getting killed which one would you choose? Jamaica will not change until everything is balance. Up to now not one of these robbers no get kill so I guess it is safe to know which one a hungry man going to choose.

  4. I used to work as a Security Guard…to Protect life and Property. Respect the People who Risk Everything to make an Honest Living

  5. THESE CRIMINALS HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE THEM RATHER DIE TRY GET THESE PEOPLE BETTER GEARS HELMETS ⛑ SAFER ARMOR 🚐 ALSO HAVE A SECOND UNMARKED CAR WITH ARMS MEN LOOKING OUT IN THIS CASE THEY WOULD BE BACK UP AROUND

    1. That’s too much money for the Security company to waste. All they think about is making billions while disregarding the concerns of the employees.

    2. ​@Black And Proud Can’t put a price on saving lives for doing such a dangerous job especially in Jamaica where criminality is rampant.

  6. What the government should put law for they are not , they must look and see how some business people do they only want work don and no government law to back them , but may God pro get us in this country .many workers Risk their life and do some thing at on their job just because that have a family to take care of but one God must hear our cry and come to our help and fix everything Jamaican just continue to pray to God in heaven , Remember pharaoh in the bible when he oppress the Israelites and God hear their cry .

  7. If your a security officer in Jamaica and they don’t give you bulletproof vehicle, bulletproof vest and high powered ammunition and guns then don’t go to work.
    Simple, when you guys put down unu foot then they will have to pay. Protest, strike, it might be hard for awhile but it’s the only way for change.
    Police need to step

  8. Them only want to know that fi dem work a duh..then nah think bout people life and safety..I once was a security office and I afto walk off the job..

  9. *I’m so opportuned irrespective of the economic crisis and financial conditions I am still able to earn $33,500 returns from my initial $6,500 every 10days*

    1. It has been awesome, really crypto is very frustrating.. I was astonishing how I made $71,380 with $14k as a Novice. I got to put in some $$$ in it tho .

    2. This is really helpful for my situation I think for people to talk all this good about him he must be an expert,

  10. Security guards take their job too casual. Pay or no pay, vehicle or no vehicle , weapons or no weapons, they move too carefree.

  11. Saw some of them filling an atm once out of a toyota corolla (the old one-eleven models) big parcel of money filling an atm out of a simple car. Atleast it was tinted up
