John here, I found out about this site through Zeami.. (thanks Mike) I too have been in the EP business for many years although mostly low profile stuff.. I have a nuclear security back round as well and am ex military 95B. My wife and I own a home in Florida and are looking to move to California at least part time throughout the year... I am also a member of the South Florida Security Officers board and have been with them a short time as well.. I have learned alot of useful information from that site and hope to be able to do the same from this one.. I am currently working on licensure in the State of California.. I am a Licensed PI in Florida, currently waiting on license from Texas for investigations and California. I am also licensed in Louisiana as well..
I will have my NRA LE handgun and shotgun instructors class in December in Panama City Fl, and will be applying for teaching licenses in Fl and Cali as well..
I look forward to getting to know some of you guys at least through the board if not personally..
Welcome John!
Thanks for joining !!

Hello John, glad you and Mike could make it over this way... As I stated in Mikes thread, I belong to several non-security forums, all of which have been great for information, and networking.
If you have any questions about CA rules and Regs, I am sure some of our members would be happy to assist.
welcome again!

[...]will be applying for teaching licenses in Fl and Cali as well..[...]
Although the job market is a tad slow now here in CA (methinks it's temporary), I don't have to tell you that we're in a constantly growing field. And judging by the ads I see litterally everywhere, training seems to be big business, so you may have the right idea.
Welcome, John, and please feel free to participate and share your point of view and experience with us!

The job market is slow every where right now.. I havent worked in about two months.. I was hurt in a car accident back in December of 08 and they finally got around to fixing my shoulder in April of 09.. So I have been rehabing alot.. But I did return to work only to have the company tell me that there is no work now days.. Im looking for anything almost anywhere...

[Warning: the following is controversial!] I actually gave this a lot of thought. We (EP agents) are sent by agencies to provide services for their upscale clientele. Some are attached to one particular client for a long time, while others float around more between agencies and clients. And some more enterprising agents are freelancers who answer to no one.
We do our best to impress clients to secure repeat business, our resumes boast of "special skills" (all euphemisms for that "thing we do"), and some are looking to score by getting attached (go in-house) to that one big fish.
Whatever we do, we do it discreetly and elegantly so as not to embarrass our wealthy patrons. And often, we are skilled at disguising what we really are.
Hmm... Reminds you of another profession? ;) :devil2: :D
