Off Duty Officers, Inc

Employee of this company.
So I am currently three plus weeks out of work. Why?
I will tell you why. I was removed from my work site for "arguing with managers" is what I was told. When moving up my chain of command in effort to resolve this, I have failed to receive any type of support and in fact, I was told by the vice president himself that if a client requests the removal of a guard, they don't question it. They just appease the client.
Basically, as long as they get their money, they don't care if they hurt someone who is trying to support their family and conduct their duties professionally and responsibly.
I say this because the only "argument" that I was involved in was ILLEGAL activity by store management in regards to shoplifting. (Example of this was the manager having me place an individual in handcuffs and then decided to walk said individual out of the store and across the parking lot to retrieve the stolen product. Then had me release said individual.) Also, completely violently SOP in conducting a stop. (Leaving the store at all violates SOP.)
I refused to take part in high liability actions and refused to involve myself in these situations beyond ensuring safety. 
I wrote several signed statements in regards to these activities and requested the situation be investigated and I be returned to my duties as is proper. However, my calls are ignored and no resolution to the situation has been proposed.
This is exceptionally poor professionalism and terrible employment. Especially for a company who's name falls in line with the men and women of Law Enforcement and between that, and their prior military (myself included) hiring, you would expect a higher level of professionalism and standing behind their employees.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexible schedule,  coworkers were the best; previous LEO's and Military and professional. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful would be for those who do not have a properly working vehicle. I have new vehicles so now problem. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is what it is as far as work sites.  The culture for the sites I worked was fantastic. I worked with a group of professional security officers who took their position seriously and with pride. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get ready about three hours ahead of scheduled start time. Prep my uniform, review in my mind what I plan to do for the day,  shower, get dressed and arrive about 30 minutes early.

The company operates out of California and they attempt to understand what it is like to work and live in Texas. Unfortunately, for officers living in Texas they have no clue; refused to issue new uniform shirts citing "you should not have to wash your uniform shirt that often if you are wearing an under shirt..." Pay was delayed on several occasions: 1. " We forgot to add you to the system", " We switched payroll companies", and my favorite "You need to submit time sheets to accountant directly,... Oh you did,... they claimed they have yet to receive it." Take your chances with them, nice people and great attitudes in the beginning, then they ignore and dismiss you.

Mainly patrolling after reviewing all communication from client management. Checking in with management on property for updates on correspondence. Reviewing all reports from previous shifts. Patrolling property once per hour and observing possible safety issus or maintenance problems that might hinder the steady flow of business.Lighting propane torches and arranging patio furniture for aesthetic purposes. The best part is the interaction with the patrons and employees of the various businesses on the property.

I never got called in for work. All they do is send you last minute notices to work far distances. I signed for the company but they never call me in. The job I signed was part time. They sing to you that they help, but when it comes to communication, they’re lousy and don’t give a care for their employees. Plus the salaries are not what you expect. Some sites pay you less than others , even if your promised a certain rate, supervisors won’t care. 

Off duty officers is definitely  one of the best security companies in the game. They are very professional and friendly with their employees and  the team  has a good rapport with its employees. The pay for armed officers is excellent and there are plenty of hours available especially with the covid 19 pandemic. I would strongly recommend you put your application in with this company.
