Security!

The public speaks, and we listen. Or at least we read.

Everyone in the building should be aware by now of the memo from a lieutenant at 311 (he's in charge of the cops who work security at 911) stating that the cops are not to let anyone through the handicapped door. We're also not allowed to go through the "back" door (closest to the west entrance) that none of us ever go through because we all go around and go through the turnstiles per the rules. It has been said that this is to maintain an accurate count of people entering the building.

If there's a headcount to be made, then why don't we have to use our IDs to get out of the building? What about the maintenance people who don't have IDs? What about the people who bunch up at the west door, say, right before roll call, when plenty of employees are entering at the same time? Will we all have to stop holding the door for the people behind us so they can all use their IDs individually to enter the building?

What are the turnstiles for anyway, to stop a stampeding herd of cattle rushing the 911 center? Is there an internal counter on the turnstiles? Does everyone even fit through the turnstiles?

Things could be worse. We could still have "Top Flight Security" like we had 5 years ago, instead of sworn officers. But we'll end that thought with the knowledge that many men in the building had no problem with the little Top Flight Security bunnies who used to "guard" our operation. Nothing more secure than a woman in a fake uniform to stroke that ego. Or stroke other things, as we've heard.

Sworn Police from 311 have been here (a whole lot longer than just 5 yrs.) Either bad recall or info. Majority of the officers sent here particularly 5 yrs. ago were and currently remain (majority male.)

I'm missing the point of what the Security post is suppose to be about. I caught the worthless rumour as A Final Thought, on surmising how things could be worse for Security here.

How can this be? When worse is a RUMOUR of bunnies aka women in fake uniforms doing men? Worse for who? why is it worst? "How can it be worse when it's a RUMOUR!"

"Help, I've fallen and I can't get up! WTH?"

The officers from 311 were NOT here from the beginning. The original security company was a joke to say the least. In fact if I recall correctly, we went thru several companies...
