SORA Security Officer Training at GFH

Recommended Posts

When I first heard about SORA, I automatically assumed that this meant that security guard salaries were going to increase. However, when I review the help wanted ads for security personnel, I still see rates of $9-11 per hour most of the time (others up to $14, but those are few and far between).

 

Maybe you have some insight on this, but I just don't see the incentive for someone to pay almost $200 to go through the SORA process for a job that pays a walmart wage.

 

Not to brag, but I make more than that at my job (warehouse labor).

I thought it would also increase the salary levels. It seems that as long as security companies advertise those rates and 500 people apply they have no reason to raise the $$$.

About 12 years ago I applied for a job as a armed security for Coin in Elizabeth, because I wanted to get the permit to carry. The pay was $9 to drive a truck and you need a least 6 months on the job before you can apply for your permit, it is only good while you work. You

This recently came up in discussion at work, and I'm wondering if you can clear up some confusion. The state police charge $75 for the application, then you have to pay some firm called sagem morpho $70, and THEN pay another $130 (give or take) for the actual class. Is this accurate? Because if it is, it's absolutely insane! That's $275, and that's a lot of money, especially in this economy!

When I worked as a security guard, they took it out of my pay. I quit before I finished the process, so my last "paycheck" was for negative dollars :lol:

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
