We found a building been broken into the man said there be gone that way easiest route out. He was right we caught him down by the railway tracks. Another thing why do the police ask exoffenders to go on tv and show them how things are done.Surely the police have alot more training and what we did in the sia.All i can say there paid there dept to society and if there keepin there noses clean then leave them alone. I rather have them on myside than them keeping the way they was. regarding security firms that are run or have exoffenders as you say working for them whats the big deal.These people are people who have stopped commiting crime and trying to sort out there lifes.Some maybe not and by rights shouldnt be in there in the first place.I know some men who commited offences 10-15 yrs ago and havant reoffended who work in the industry. and i would trust them with my life.And these guys would do a better job than some other person who has no knowledge what so ever.I myself do security and i have worked with these guys and they have the knowledge from both sides which has helped them better with there jobs.
