Hi everyone

I'm glad to be apart of this blog.........

Justifying security to Seattlites

Though we have a wide range of personal political views, many of us as security professionals in the Seattle area have found it a challenge to explain to some liberals the importance of security, since security is for the most part a moderate-conservative concept (politically speaking.)

A friend of mine from school (Lance Miller) is a sort of technocrat who writes a bit on CPTED-related issues, and experiments with developing crime-documentation software. He has written his manifesto on the implication the new security situation emerging in our society, and it contains good ideas about the importance of security to liberals, though his conclusion is extremely controversial.

Day is in tha house!!!!!

Hello,

David also asked me to say my bit. He is one of my coworkers. My experience with security or security related fields starts in July 0f 1998 with the U.S. Army. In May of 2006 I started working in security at the Seattle Municipal Tower. I am also a CPO and should be SSMP certified soon. I look forward to this great networking opportunity and chance to learn from the experiences of others.

Galbraith on duty

The author of this blog asked me to contribute. (He is a coworker of mine.) My security background amounts to the following: 2 years as "student security" at Olympic College for two non-consecutive years with very different sets of responsibilities, a short stint at a condo in Belltown for someone I knew from school, and at the SMT since July of '06. Also, I am CPO certified and should soon be SSMP certified. The best online profile of me also reveals various education, martial arts, and computer-related credentials (I am also on Linked In): http://knol.google.com/k/b-f-galbraith/-/2z9glxw4vis93/0#

Hi,

I'm David, I started this blog because my friends and co-workers. Who all work in the security industry. We were not able to find ways to meet or network with others in the industry. So we thought to start a blog hoping to meet other who work in the industry. My security background is the following: 2&1/2 years in security with very different sets of responsibilities, and many different kinds of sites. I have been at the SMT since July of '08. Also, I am CPO certified and should soon be SSMP certified.

I will be setting up face to face and blog group meeting as soon as possible.
There is already 8 people this blog group hoping to expand it to many, many more.

Thank You,
David
