    Gaga gets attacked!

    Not a concerted attack attempt Gentlemen. Looked more like an autograph hunter waving his paper.

    How often can a DS expect to get arrested?

    I must agree. During my service I was a city licensing officer with responsibility for all clubs and licensed premises. A good rapport needs to be struck from the outset with your local police so that they know who you are. OK you're not the boss, but you will see these guys on patrol and at...

    CarolH Introduction on 01st February 2011

    Hi Carol, It's certainly a lot different outside than in ! (The Police). I did 25 years and then took up private security. Your success will depend on your skills and the training you received/ have yet to complete. Good Luck, RCS.

    Man fined for warning other motorists of speed camera

    As an ex copper and advanced driver my entire support is with Phecta on this and I can already hear the howls from others. The fact is Gentlemen that I am one of those who has had to announce the deaths of teenagers and innocent children to distressed parents resulting from reckless speeding...

    cp work

    Well mate, its been said by others, but without the edge gained by being ex military or specialist police (together with the right background) your chances are probably nil. Bottom line is that for any job you need to possess proven skills, abilities and experience that will appeal to employers...

    Prince Charles & Camilla Attack

    Hi Rich, On the face of it I would agree, although I would like to see the outcome of the security review into the matter to focus my thoughts. There are clearly many aspects of this situation which should come under scrutiny. To my mind, apart from the routing issues and vehicle type used in...

    Armour Group CPO

    Well Kurt, I don't know your personal circumstances or which country you are in, so I can't fully picture the circumstances that would require having two loaded firearms in a drawer at home ready for use. Say you had been freely drinking though, and a dispute started with a neighbour.........?

    Another Bogus Company

    Mate, sorry to hear of your troubles with this. Before entering into any undertaking it is always best to check out the others involved if you don't know them personally (and sometimes if you do !). This isn't too difficult online these days and I have no doubt that you won't be caught again...

    Hi LeeT, You obviously read the same books as me. The latest by Peter is certainly an overdue masterly update on Surveillance tradecraft ! Good to have you on the forum. Looking forward to seeing your future posts.

    Armour Group CPO

    Kurt mate, Cookie's second sentence says it all - there is absolutely no requirement for booze and firearms to be together. To mix them -even 'off duty' is to risk the same outcome as Fitzsimmons. As with Drink Drive - nominate someone who is armed to remain sober to watch your back.

    Seeking Experience ..

    Hi mate - sorry if this sounds cruel, but shouldn't a potential investigator be capable of seeking out investigation agencies, solicitors, etc, to approach by using the most basic of means such as yellow pages, google, etc ?

    Air bags on or air bags off?

    To me this will depend on the threat level and current risk assessment. There is no set answer as methods to reduce risk must always be fluid to meet the need at the time.

    Is KM suitable for PPO's? - Poll

    Modern philosphy is to use the mind well before the muscle. Having said that, a few key Krav Maga moves are always useful should communication fail. There isn't much H2H content on UK CP training course for a couple of reasons to my mind. Firstly the SIA champion the conflict avoidance approach...

    Nutty1480 Introduction on 19th November 2010

    Welcome mate. Lots of luck finding work. Its a slow slog but with perseverance you should get there if your background is sound and you market yourself well. I was a newcomer to the private CP world a year ago and its just coming together for me. Stay safe.

    Fake War Vets Goes to Court

    I don't know whether to pity or pillary these guys. They so desperately want to emulate those in the services and feel such a close affliation with them that they just cannot resist adorning themselves with made up awards. Rather than being criminals I believe these guys need mental help. From...

    Beetroot Juice to enhance stamina

    I can vouch for that one too ! Users will be amazed at the shades of purple that can be achieved ! I believe the technical term for it is porfyrria...

    Close Protection fitness

    Hi Kenny, As usual Oddjob offers wise words. I would recommend as a start taking a look at publications (books and DVDs) by Peter Consterdine (enter his name on amazon). I have some of his books and DVDs which are a good basis for further training. Stay fit.

    Beetroot Juice to enhance stamina

    I saw this on TV recently, and as a 'convert' I can say it works for me. (But then at 51 any coffin dodging tactics are becoming quite interesting !) I can only say give it a try and see if it works for you. I found that Tesco do a very good line in cheap prepared beetroot which is not covered...

    Is being ex-forces the be all and end all in this industry now?

    I am encouraged by the range of valid views in this posting. As ex specialist police I can understand both viewpoints. I believe we all bring something to the table. However only a fool would take on an assignment for which they are not trained and thoroughly prepared. Deep down we all know what...
