Guard Cards, Celebrities, and Comedy: A Law Enforcement Journey

What’s Your Emergency

Ever swerved from the fast-paced lanes of law enforcement into the equally challenging private security profession? We, Motor Cop and Happy Medic, do just that—swapping tales with our guest, Alex, about MC's transition from retired cop to a private security pro. We unravel the challenges of acquiring permits, especially the notorious security guard card and a carry concealed weapon permit, and share some hearty laughs on our journey in sunny California.
The episode takes a deeper dive as we tap into the necessity of gun qualifications and some of the unique job opportunities available for retired officers. We take you on an anecdotal journey through our experiences, the importance of online test-taking skills, and some hilarious moments pondering about possible call signs— "White Claw One," anyone? As we journey further, we venture into the exhilarating world of private security for media events. Alex, our expert on the matter, gives you a glimpse into his unique experiences, including his unexpected calls to rub elbows with celebrities and his rather unconventional wardrobe choices.
As we round off our conversation, we touch on the complexities of paramedic licensure and certification, emphasizing the importance of medical professionals during film and television production. And just when you think we're done, we circle back to the 90s comedy show, In Living Color, reminiscing about its impact on its participants, encouraging listeners to revisit this iconic show. Sit back, enjoy the journey, and prepare to be entertained and enlightened in equal measure as we navigate the exciting world of law enforcement, private security, and pop culture.
