ADT Commercial has just introduced its Gemini private security robot to the public. Will this replace unarmed security officer jobs?

Amidst rising concerns over slow police response times, many cities are seeking alternative solutions to manage non-life-threatening incidents. Baltimore, grappling with its high crime rate, has partnered with On Scene Service, a private firm specializing in motor vehicle accident response, following the successful implementation of a similar program in New Orleans. As police departments face declining numbers, the private sector is stepping in, not only to alleviate the strain on public resources but also to offer more efficient and cost-effective services. This shift signals a potential national trend, where trained security officers might increasingly handle responsibilities traditionally managed by the police, marking a significant pivot of public services to the private sector.

Andre Boyer's SITE Security is making waves as possibly the most innovative security agency in 2023. Providing an effective deterrent in areas where traditional 'observe and report' approaches fall short, Boyer's agency offers a new model of security that blends corporate security and law enforcement methodologies. The agency, equipped with state-of-the-art tools and continuous training, is shifting the security paradigm, especially in crime-laden cities like Philadelphia. SITE’s model is a promising solution to the inefficiencies of the justice system and slow police response times, and it's being recognized as a likely trendsetter for future security services in major American cities.

Explaining an evolving point of view that suggests it might be wiser for a security officer to avoid going into law enforcement. Back in the day—when I owned my own security agency—I never had a problem with my security officers using my agency as a launching point to become police officers. Now, however, my point of view on this matter is changing. In this just-released YouTube video, I explain why you, as a security officer might should avoid going into law enforcement. Please feel free to share you opinion in this matter. Do you agree with my take? What did I miss?
