After serving my country in the United States Marine Corps, and receiving an honorable discharge, I was able to gain employment with Paladin Private Security. Working for this company was my first private security job, and I was impressed with the level of staff found, in what many people consider a "rent a cop" industry. Many military and LEO veterans work here. Many lifelong security experts work here, especially the instructors associated with this company. As you can see there are 2 major types of reviews here. 5 star reviews are from customers or people in the community that Paladin helps. 1 star reviews are generally people that get arrested by Paladin, because they are hurting the community, or enablers/ sympathizers of criminals. For anyone complaining about this company's treatment of the homeless population, I would caution you to look beyond their situation and appearance. Many of the areas this company works are very dangerous (i.e. South Sac and North Highlands) and many of the homeless in these areas are violent felons and many are on sex offender lists as well. This is known by the Paladin Security Officers due to Paladins close work and relationships with Sac PD and Sac County. My very first night working with this company I was set to start my on the job training in South Sac. My training officer and I made one felony arrest of an armed homeless male for smashing in the glass door of a business he did not want to leave. Later that night we also assisted law enforcement in a second felony arrest in domestic assault done with a deadly weapon. This was in section 8 housing in the South Sac area. This was just the first night of my job, before I had my exposed firearms permit that allows security officers to be armed. At the time all I had to protect myself in these situations was pepper spray, a knife, and one hell of a coworker, who was armed to the teeth with all potential permits and equipment. God bless this company for truly protecting and serving the community. Every security job I had after leaving Paladin was terrible and it drove me out of the industry entirely, if i had stayed at Paladin that would not have been an issue. P.s. look at the language and attitudes of the people in the bad reviews and ask yourself if they really seem legitimate. Seems more like criminals and their mamas tired of getting arrested by what they call "rent a cops".
