Are you kidding? As Oddjob has said in next post, depends how he was detained - was the word 'arrested' mentioned by the staff? If he can get dosh out of it, go for it mate! When the boot has been on the other foot and an offender detained, somehow illegally, the innocent person is...

Best commercial course, for me, without hesitation, Ronin SA! enjoyed my cp course very much.

Thanks for posting the above links gents, what surprises me is the very little coverage this is getting in the British press.

Passing the SIA maybe a walk in the park. If you do your course with a reputable company, ie. Tavcom, then it is a bit more difficult. (I have no affiliation with this company). However, learning about DPA98 and how to apply it is very interesting and does not stop at your course. It maybe...

Thanks for starting this thread Premier and your comments. This bloke has been charged. I hope he will now do the decent thing for her family and let them know where April is. Repeating your words 'premier', God Bless Her.

Excellent post littlewoman. I am not sure if I deliberately posted my message in the words above or I myself, fell into the trap I was warning of. This bloke's life is finished. He will not dare to walk the streets of the UK again if there is no evidence to charge him. He will have to be...

I fully agree with everything that has been said above. I hope they get a prosecution against this bloke and he rots in hell. What is starting to worry me now is all the press coverage. This blokes's picture is all over the papers, the news and the internet. Is his lawyer going to say that...

Its good to hear from those who actually did the job and from those who were present or managed a team. I don't know whose side i'm on as we can read that G4S did do some good work. Some opinions expressed reckon that the private industry could have done it, albeit with all the major players...

Please note fedelis, when I said 'concern' I was speaking for myself. I cannot solve the world's problems now or in the past. Without thinking about what lies ahead, do you show any compassion for the slaughter of the innocents...... no matter where in this world? My 'concern' is my feelings...

I am no walter and I am not salivating. I am concerned for the innocent men women and children who are dying on a daily basis in Syria. In this century you would think that the world has learned from history but no, there are always those who wish to kill for their own 'remit'. If you think I...

Good points! The world's policeman, the Americans, do have the military ability to take on Assad in much the same way as the way Libya was taken. Should we, can we, just stand by and watch so many innocent men, women and children die for the sake of one man?

If the comments above are correct, I'm sure they are, then the Olympics will have had the effect of devaluing the SIA license. If a well trained, motivated person is not in charge on the 'doors' or a security guard is there just to collect his minimum wage then quality training will be out the...

Thank you for the info, littlewoman, but you seem to be vindicating G4S in some of your answers. You say immediately above that 'some of the problems were down to LOCOG' and further above you mention that some constrainsts were put on G4S by the government, ie. in recruitment. So can we say...

Thousands of people are dying at the hands of their own president, Assad. He is killing his own people. He is bombing his own country destroying buildings etc which will take years to make good. It is interesting that someone should show some humanitarian care for the Syrian people. There...

Does anybody think that any security company could have done as well or as bad as G4S? I have heard of other security companys' guards getting a beef burger for lunch and other totally inadequate welfare arrangements. I think 'we' got through the games by good fortune. Was this a project that...

would love a comment from G4S!

Thanks for responses above; but given the nature of the job and the redtape involved for security, (rightly so), did G4S have an impossible task? Was the ask an impossible one?

Can anybody please tell me why G4S apparently failed at the Olympics? G4S are an extremely professional company so what I don't understand is why things went so badly wrong for them. Does anybody know the nitty gritty as to what exactly went wrong? I should imagine that if you are going...

Keep posting mate, useful info!

More good stuff coming out. I think anyone reading these posts will be able to look critically at their own system and procedures and see if there is room for improvement. I looked on the website mentioned by 'Callmedave', (CCTV User Group), and that is very interesting and would recommend it...
