• If you work as a security guard in Sydney, you
  have a different set of concerns keeping you
  awake at night that those of security guards
  working in another country.
• Tight gun laws introduced in the 1990s have
  helped greatly reduce the amount of gun-related
  violence in Sydneys streets.
• So while the kinds of threats that are prevalent
  in countries with more liberal gun laws still
  exist in Sydney, it is concerns of a different
  nature that occupy the thoughts of the local
  security professionals.

• The overwhelming concerns were all around the
  unpredictable nature of revellers when under the
  influence of these substances.
• Concerns for themselves, but more for the
  innocent people around these individuals who
  arent trained to deal with them and are often
  vulnerable to harm.
• A serious incident at a venue that harms genuine
  people just out for a nice night is just as
  distressing for a security guard being involved
  in an altercation or being injured themselves.

• More to the point, it only takes one incident
  that can leave you permanently damaged or dead.
  Knowing this is stressful and this prolonged
  stress over time can itself be damaging enough.
• It seems weirdly ironic that the psychological
  damage done to a professional working with the
  knowledge of potential threats involving weapons
  over time can be just as incapacitating as an
  assault with these weapons, even though this
  assault never actually occurs.
• This is the nature of the security industry and
  being resilient to the threats involves being
  mentally tough as well as physically tough.
• If you are unlucky enough to be involved in an
  incident with a weapon, the only defence you will
  have is your training. Make sure it is as good
  and as current as it can be.

• Whether they made a mistake under duress or
  injured an individual due to them being in a
  situation where they felt threatened, security
  guards in Sydney have been increasingly feeling
  that one of their biggest threats is keeping up
  to date with changing and often seemingly
  ridiculous laws that recreated by people with no
  knowledge or experience with the industry.
• Again, the best defence is your training. Anyone
  who works in the industry who doesnt keep their
  training up to date is effectively negligent.
