Name that agency!

Had a guy from Ranch Santa Fe Security light me up w/amber flashers on I 5 last year, thought I was going too fast. Not only did I laugh my *** off at him, I called his boss.

He was an employee long enough to return the vehicle...

Friggin idiots... We have a couple of those companies in the Sac area, who run around thinking they are 5-0.. I dont wanna name names however..

I might be wrong, but I thought security companies were supposed to mark their patrol vehicles and uniform patches with a word "security". I believe this was per BSIS. These guys are deffinetly a private company, same as ADT, Westec and all the other alarm response companies. I wonder how they get away with it.

Yep, thats why you take pictures of the car and report them to BSIS, we gotta stop these morons in security. This is why security gets such a negative public opinion. People think all we do is run around and try to imitate cops all day becuase of this BS.

I really gotta get out of this industry, its starting to get on my nerves lately, I need to get my damm A.S. in Physcology so I can go onto University. I wanna be a forensic physcologist..

Wouldn't happen to be a white Bronco with green lettering? I saw one of those guys with a solid red by his rear view mirror. We were hearding some Donks and Scrapers from parking lot to parking lot when he decided to help. I've never understood the security companies that allow red and blue lights, thinking as long as they are on private property anything goes.

I haven't seen it personally in CA, but I wouldn't be surprised if ABC or BNE puts "POLICE" on their gear too. Anyone know if this is a practice with them?

I'm not sure how recent it was, but I was told all the "police" lettering stems from a court decision stating that 'police' is now the recognized generic term for LE. I've worked with both ABC and BNE agents that had 'police' on their vests.

I have heard of 3 or 4 companies that tried to run red and blues at one or another, but their all rumors at this point. I have never seen one accually do it.

It was a Crown Vic, white w/green graphics. Probably coming from his beat in RSF.
