MAGNANAKAW SA A.O.R.

May nakita kang magnanakaw sa AOR mo. Habang nasa safe distance ka, sinita mo siya at   balak mo siyang hulihin. Ang reaksiyon ng magnanakaw ay nagulat at nagtangkang tumakas papalayo. Tatandaan na walang unlawful aggression kasi tumakbo siya papalayo sa iyo. So, hindi kailangan ng use of force gamit ang ano mang armas meron ka kasi bawal un sa batas. Hahabulin mo siya para hulihin. Bawal din ang warning shot, meron deriktiba ang PNP nyan. Hanggat maaari, magtawag ka ng backup habang hinahabol mo siya para may katulong ka! Kung halimbawa na-corner mo na siya, maintain ang iyong safe distance at sabihan o sigawan na huminto siya o dumapa kasi huhulihin mo siya. Kailangan tama lang ang distansiya para handa kang dumipensa kung sakaling manlaban siya.  Tandaan na ang maling paggamit ng lakas o armas sa taong hindi naman lumalaban sa iyo ay pwedeng maglagay sau sa alanganin kahit pa magnanakaw yan.

Kung ang magnanakaw na sinita mo ay nagulat at balak niyang manlaban na gamit ang ano mang armas na dala niya eh may karapatan ka na gumamit ng lakas o armas ng katumbas sa magnanakaw. (Use of force for Self-Defense).

- halimbawa may hawak na kutsilyo ang magnanakaw. Within safe distance, sigawan mo na ibaba ang kutsilyo habang nakatutok sa kanya ang baril mo. Pag hindi nakinig at akmang susugurin ka eh paputukan mo na siya sa bahagi ng kanyang katawan na magdulot sa kanya ng panghihina at hindi na maka-panlaban. Hanggat maaari iwasan ang fatal shot pero Kung sa tingin mo delikado ang buhay mo ay gawin na ang nararapat.

- halimbawa baril ang armas ng magnanakaw, kailangan naka-safety ka o naka-cover sa matitigas na bagay bago siya sisitahin at sabihan na ibaba ang kanyang armas habang nakatutok ang baril mo sa kanya. Pero kung hindi siya makinig at may balak mamaril eh unahan mo na.

Maraming pwedeng maging argumento sa scenario na ito, lalo na sa mga taong medyo may pilosopong pag-iisip. Ganon paman, bilang isang guardia, tinuturo sa atin na sundin ang tamang proseso sa lahat na bagay bagay. Kahit ano mang action ang gagawin mo, nasa sa iyo na yan. Kailangan mong pangangatawan. Ang importante alam mo ang tama at maling proseso para kung sakaling may imbestigasyon madali mo nlang idepensa sarili mo.

BUHAY GUARDIA

(Definition taken from IRR of RA 5487).

BAWAL MAKIPAG-INUMAN ANG ISANG SECURITY GUARD SA MGA EMPLEYADO WITHIN THE COMPANY

BAKIT BAWAL MAKIPAG-INUMAN ANG ISANG SECURITY GUARD SA MGA EMPLEYADO WITHIN THE COMPANY?

Itong issue na ito ay maraming beses nang lumabas sa mga post ng ibat-ibang security group. Maraming opinion at reaksiyon ang mababasa at makikita tungkol dito na  nanggagaling sa kanilang sariling paniniwala. Ang pagbababawal sa ganitong gawain ay tama pero ito hindi masyado nalinawan ng maigi. Depende kasi yan kung kasama o hindi sa sinusulat na mga guidelines at patakaran ng isang kompanya. Sa madaling sabi pwede mong mabasa o hindi ang kautusang ito kaya ang iba hindi masyadong siniseryoso. Pero itong kautusan na ito ay generally at morally practice ng mga security guards na more sincere pagdating sa kanilang trabaho.

Isa sa ating trabaho ay "to serve the interest of the client". Ibig sabihin, ang isang security guard ay dapat mapagkatiwaan ng client. Dapat buo ang tiwala ng client sa iyo. Huwag nating kalimutan na isa ito sa rason kung bakit  nandyan ka. Ang kliyente kumuha ng serbisyo mula sa security agency para protektahan ang kanyang interest at ikaw ang pinadala ng agency para isakatuparan ito. Ang agency ay nagtitiwala sa kakayahan mo na magampanan ng maayos ang iyong trabaho para hindi siya mapahiya doon sa kliyente kasi ito ay nagbabayad sa kanya. Most of the security agencies will not tolerate this kind of action (pakikipag-inuman). Maliban lang sa iba na wala silang paki-alam sa mga ginagawa ng kanilang guards at ang importante ay ang kita. Ang pinaka-guide sa ating mga guards to act and behave well dito sa ating propesyon ay ang  11 General Order, Code of Conduct and Ethics. Dito natin dapat hinuhugot ang tamang mindset sa pagpeperform ng ating trabaho. Ang pinaka pinagbabasehan ng mga security agencies para ipagbawal itong pag-iinom kasama sa mga empleyado ay ang nakasulat doon sa security code of conduct number 5 na "He shall not drink intoxicating liquor immediately during or before his tour of duty." at ang code of ethics number 4 "He shall act at all times with decorum and shall not permit personal feelings, prejudices, and undue friendship to influence his actuations in the performance of his official function." Pero unfortunately, ung iba ay binabasa at nami-memorize lang ito pero hindi talaga naintindihan kung gaano kalawak sa sakop nito pagdating sa punto kung paano ito makaka-apekto sa pagganap na ating trabaho. Noong panahon na nag undergo tayo ng training, ito ay pinababasa, pina-memorize at pina-iintindi ng instructor sa atin pero paglampas ng iilang buwan ay kadalasan nalilimutan na ito. Maliban lang kung ikaw ay determinado na palaging ilagay sa alaala mo.

Bakit ba ito pinagbabawal? Ang isa sa pinaka-rason ay para maiiwasan magkaroon ng close relationship doon sa empleyado (code of ethics #4). Pagnagkaroon na ng tinatawag nilang over familiarity sa mga empleyado ay mataas na ang chances na ma-impluwensiyahan ang kanyang disposition sa mga bagay bagay na nangyayari sa kanyang paligid. Tiwala kna doon sa kaibigan mong empleyado na hindi ito gagawa ng mali o bawal kasi close friend nga kayo. Kampante kna sa kanyang mga kinikilos. Magiging relax kna at hindi muna masyadong pinapansin kung anong ginagawa nila. And worst, pag may makita kang konting pagkakamali ay babalewalain mo nalang dahil kaibigan mo siya at ibang empleyado nalang na hindi mo close ang hihigpitan. Dito na mag uumpisa ung kinakatakutan ng agency at ng kliyente pag nalaman nila ito, ang tendency ng SABWATAN.

Ang security agency ay iniiwasan nilang dumating sa punto na ganoon ang sitwasyon ng security guard nila doon sa mga empleyado ng kliyente kasi magiging ineffective na ito. Hindi mo man maramdaman na pinagdududahan ka nila pero nasa watchlist kna. Pagnagkaroon ng insidenteng nakawan o may nawawalang mga items ay "tinitingan kaagad ang angulo ng SABWATAN. This is not good situation sa isang security guard. Kaya iniiwasan na makikipag-close ang isang guard sa mga empleyado para hindi siya magiging isang main subject pagnagkakaroon ng imbestigasyon sa isang insidente.

Iyon ang pinaka-punto na maiiwas ka sa intriga. Pagmay insidenteng nakawan sa isang lugar, lahat na nadoon sa area na iyon ay magiging suspect pero paghinimay-himay na ng isang imbestigador kung sino-sino ang dapat pagduduhan ikaw ay mawawala kaagad sa kanyang listahan.

Kung base sa pananaw ng kliyente at ng security agency, ito ay hindi talaga magandang tingnan kahit saang anggulo. But since na hindi mo talaga 100 percent mapasunod ang guardia sa kagustuhan ng client at ng agency, nasa kanya na ang desisyon kung paano niya gampanan ang kanyang trabaho. Ang importante ay alam niyang bawal ito. Pag gumawa ka ng bawal ay alam naman natin lahat kung ano ang kasunod.   Nasa guardia lang yan kung paano niya pangangatawanan ang salitang "responsible at desicpline security guard. Kung hindi ka man masasabihan ng mga boss mo eh kunsiyensiya nalang ang bahalang magpapa-alala sa iyo.
