They will do whatever they could to shut your mouth out or will fabricate you a disciplinary action to get you fire.Crooks,you like to play the MAFIA stuff,but remember: "what goes around comes around." You should be out of bussiness.

Man that is some great citizen action Carlos. How can others find out about this? Was it put on the Miami Indie Media Center site?

b.a.c.,

This action was extremely top secret until it happened. Only a few people knew about it because we wanted to take Wackenhut completely by surprise.

The media was informed of the action that morning, but if you remember the Fourth of July last year, it rained throughout the afternoon, so the action was delayed by a couple of hours. We ended up not seeing any reporters on the scene who were probably busy covering Fourth of July stuff anyway.

Nevertheless, the photos and video were delivered to various Wackenhut executives via email, which was the original intent all along.

And they got so mad that they filed a lawsuit against the organizers that ended up going nowhere.

i was sleepy last night.

Why do the pictures look so strange? is it compression, or did you change the sizes in some strange way? i like the way that everything looks strongly focused and then not, but why does the forground stuff have such jagged edges?

Still like the pictures themselves, of course

genewitch,

Not sure what you mean but you may be referring to the motion in the photos.

I was using a flash but I set the camera to a slightly slower shutter speed in order to capture the motion.

Hi! I got your comment that you also applied for MTF. I found out I didn’t miss the deadline and that I got an interview, so I’m taking the exams this week, sort of squeezed in between being in Miami and going home to Pennsylvania for a week before my interview.

Thanks for the kind words you left on our blog…

I have been following the Wackenhut crap as well…but not like this!!! Love it.

Bravo, South Beach!
It’s about time the people took things into their own… eyes?. It’s for damned sure you can’t trust your “public servants” to look out for anything but their own self-serving interests. Being a past resident of FL, and one who wishes he was again, I applaud your efforts to stick it back to the man and his corporate cronies. Damned the topedoes – Full speed ahead!

Is that Tyler Bonnen? He’s always been a bit actorly.

i would,nt let wackenhut guard my
dog house

I work for Wackenhut, I have for over a year now, out of the Salt Lake City branch. I have never EVER worked for a more disorganized, careless, screwed up company in all my life, There was more organization at my highschool burger flipping job than with this company! This is ONLY a job for me untill I can finish school. I can’t believe the lack of organization in the company even just between my branch and the area office in SLC! It’s amazing how little this company knows, or cares about securiy! I would never EVER hire Wackenhut for any security needs i might have, like Leonard said, “I wouldn’t let Wackenhut guard my dog house!”

oh, just another little tid-bit, this article was taken from a page promoting Wackenhut:

The Wackenhut Corporation has the toughest standards for hire in the market. The success of our high quality security programs hinge on the parameters these officers must meet in order to be considered for employment, the thorough background checks we conduct, and the extensive training we provide each officer. No other company invests in the infrastructure necessary to create a quality program such as this, and the success we have had in our industrial partnerships validates this in the Houston

http://www.houstonboma.org/en/dir/?52

“toughest hire standards in the market” I walked in, filled out an application and the next day I was headed to SLC for training, no interview, now resume, not a single question asked other than, “are you finished with it?” (my application)

“the extensive training we provide each officer” My “extensive training” consisted of 8 hours of pointless movies and annoying rambling on about fire safety, and uniform care. The next day I had my security officer license, and I was filling out my job papers. (tax forms, ect..) I went home for 2 days, and I was called back to pickup my new uniform, which ripped my second day might I add. I now use my own clothes with the Wackenhut patches sewed on. Not once was I put through any sort of interview, not once was I asked any question about my history, my personallity, ect.. and not once was I allowed any sort of hands on training with any of the items that I carry on my duty belt. Luckly I care about those items and using them correctly so I have gone out and taken classes from a trained law enforcement official, and now I train the “new guys” on how to use pepper spray, batons, ect… This company is a total joke and should be shut down!

Long story short, Wackenhut is a joke, don’t trust the company, period!

Ops the troops at wackenhut san diego making there move and managers are flipped out because the officers are starting a union

Great information, I am “laid off” from Wackenhut after whisteblowing in the workplace. If you or attorneys are interested in
hearing my story in detail, I will be glad to share it. The management at Wackenhut cares only about the bottomline; little or nothing about
security of persons and property. I have a complaint issued with OSHA now. They will
investigate soon, I hope. Wackenhut frauds its
employees and clients by its unfair treatment
and dishonesty in the workplace.

WOW SO SAN DIEGO WACKENHUT aka g4s HAS A UNION AND THE SUPERVISORS ARE OUT TRYING TO FIRE ALL EMPLOYEES THAT ARE IN AND ON THE UNION. ALSO UNION BUSTER GETS TERMED AFTER THE UNION EXPOSES HIS CRIMINAL ACTIVITES, WOW AND GET THIS A SUPERVISOR TELLS AN EMPLOYEE YOUR REVIEW IS BAD BECAUSE YOUR NOT AMERICAN!!!! WOW MANAGEMENT GAVE THAT SUPERVISOR TWO DAYS ON THE BEACH FOR IT AND THEN LET HIM WORK OVERTIME TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS IN PAY. WOW AND THIS IS A GOV CONTRACT AND HE'S A VET HMMM C. SAXTON

Man the at the Texas Wackenhut office the supervisors are cracking down on sleepers and slackers that don't want to work but i love my job easy money don't knock Wackenhut till you try it there is alot of stuff that you get to see on the inside that normal people would only dream of seeing some of the big name plants and old factory's have some neat stuff on the inside to me they are like a big museum. i do have to say that some of the supers show well lets say favoritism toward certain personnel

What happened did you got FIRED from this company , are you still mad at them ? hahahaha

SURPRISE !!!!!..the majority of the security companies in this f… country are all the same , mediocre and useless . careless and only interested in winning contracts to bleed guards as well as clients …ive been working in this mediocre industry for almost 7 years , for different ones : Copstat ( out of business ) Securamerica , Allied Barton etc , etc and all of them are the same shit ..they love to hire ignorant haitians and american negroes as warm bodies just to fill a site and thats all ..they dont offer you NOTHING , just a miserable salary and if you want a medical ensurance ..you GOT to pay for it and teh worst part is that this ” ensurance ” is garbage ..

Is the type of job ideal for a student or someone already retired ..not for make a living ….this is type of job in where the psychological factor play a role : a guy dressed in a fancy uniform to make fell a bunch of stupid assholes SECURED ..none of you had worked as guards …probably you dont know

HEY CARLOS-THE PROBLEM IS JUST NOT THE UGLY HISTORICAL FOOTPRINTS OF THE WACKENHUT “SHMEWS”-I WORKED FOR THEM FOR AGES-AND THE CORRUPTION WAS ALL TRUE, AND THEN SOME! THE “HEIRS APPARENT”,YOUR BELOVED 50 STATE UNIFIED”HODGE-PODGE-WILL ATTEMPT TO SQUEEZE PROFITS AT THE DETRIMENT OF GUARDS BY NIXING BENEFITS TO ALL OTHER POST GUARDS ON OTHER CONTRACTS, AND PERPETRATING SIMILAR FRAUDS LIKE WACKENHUT. WHY? SIMPLY THIS-THEY CAN NEVER TRAIN A LEGITIMATE CADRE OF COMPETENT GUARDS AT THE LOWER METRO-RAIL CONTRACT PREMIUM-AND THE MANPOWER ISN’T THERE-THE GUARD POOL, AFTER THESE AGENCIES HAVE BANNED CERTAIN SENIOR GUARDS (AND MAKE NO MISTAKE-WE ARE IN REVOLT AGAINST THE GUARD INDUSTRY CORRUPTION!), IS AS EMPTY AS A SUMMER RAIN BARREL IN ARIZONA! WE LIKE WORKING-BUT THE TRIBE HAS DECIDED TO THROW ARMED TACTICAL AND LEGAL SUPPORT BEHIND YOU….EVEN STATE’S ATTORNEY KATHERINE RUNDEL IS ON THE WARPATH AGAINST WACKENHUT! BUT CARLOS-IT IS ALL THE AGENCIES THAT ARE ENTRENCHED IN THIS CRAP! THE HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGERS TRY TO ORCHESTRATE THE FRAUD WITH RECRUITMENT QUOTAS MANIPULATIONS ( THE STACKS ON THE DESK OF APPLICATIONS REPRESENTS BOILER ROOM STORE FRONT RECRUITERS FUNNELING MOSTLY UNAVAILABLE PERSONS ), AND THE CONTRACTS ARE ALL SHORTED ON VARIOUS THINGS-AND THE GUARDS ARE PESTERED BY FIELD SUPERVISORS. GOD FORBID THESE GUARDS ARE SICK,HUNGRY, OR TIRED (BECAUSE THEY ARE WORKED AND TREATED LIKE ANIMALS)-IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO COMPLAIN AS THE MANAGEMENTS SQUEEZE THESE CONTRACTS LIKE ORANGES-THEN THROW THE GUARDS OUT LIKE DAMAGED, SPENT FRUIT HUSKS ( THEY TELL YOU THE CLIENT REMOVED YOU FOR SOME REASON NOT MAJOR OR SPECIFIED-CERTAINLY N-O-T CRIMINAL).KEEP THE FINGERS AND EYES ON THE WHOLE FILTHY INDUSTRY, BECAUSE WHEN I TESTIFY AGAINST THE INDUSTRY, NAMES AND VERBAL HELL WILL BE UNLEASHED,!!I WANT THEM ALL TO GO TO JAIL AND BE FINED-AND EXPOSED AS TO THE NAKED TRUTH THEY DESPERATELY TRY TO CONCEAL WITH THEIR PUNITIVE AND ILLEGAL POLICIES

CARLOS; IN ADDITION–SOME OF THE LESSER CONTRACTS IN SECURITAS, 50 STATE, ALLIED BARTON-ALL SHOW THESE SAME ELEMENTS OF CORRUPTION-PLUS A CONSPIRING INCESTUOUS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AGENCY MIDDLE-MANAGERS, CLIENTS-AND MONEY THAT IS NEVER QUITE ACCOUNTED FOR! SOME OF THE CLIENTS ARE WALKING POWDER KEGS, PSYCHOLOGICALLY-AND HAVE BEEN PUSHED AROUND HERE-AND-THERE TO SHUFFLE THEM AWAY-AND THEY VENT THEIR ANGER AND HOSTILITY ON THE GUARDS. I DISAPPROVE HIGHLY, AND IT IS MADE KNOWN!
