I was very surprised yesterday to receive a certificate of appreciation from one of the locations where I recently started working. I've only been there a little over a month so this came as quite a shock.

Given decades of advocacy for security officers, starting with myself LOL, I've often been given the boot (reprimands or termination) but rarely certificates.

My cold heart was touched because I know all too well how routinely private protectors are over-scrutinized and hyper-criticized without thanks being extended.

I called the site manager whose referral made this possible and conveyed my gratitude.

In today's tumultuous world, private protectors are bearing the burden of self-inflicted and societal problems which cross their paths with alarming-sometimes tragic regularity.

Tokens of esteem like certificates or an ornate plaque presented to a buddy of mine whose security position was phased out after six years of stellar service document what these professionals provide that otherwise goes unheralded.
