The following quote is from an email I just received about a security job I was going to work on Halloween night.
The job is night time parking control, medical and indoor security for a haunted house and dance. I can guarentee that flashlights will be required for this job. Everyone working in the parking lot will be required to use a flashlight with a traffic wand. The staff inside will also need lights to see what they are doing in the event that something happens inside. This is a disaster waiting to happen. I have emailed the event coordinator to voice my concerns and am still waiting for a reply.
Guarenteed if I do deside to work this event I will be carrying many concealed lights despite what management thinks.
Security staff: The required uniform for the evenings events are as follows:*NOTE* No members of the security staff are to be in possession of a flashlight. Flashlights are now being seeing as weapons in the public eye. Management at the facility has deamed there to be enough ambiant light that flashlights will not be required.
