Jobs: Olympic Security Jobs With G4S, United Kingdom

Filed under: Jobs,United Kingdom — Tags: , , , , , — Matt @ 8:06 AM

I thought I would put this out there for the guys across the pond. Although I am sure many have already heard about this and have acted accordingly. What is cool is that over at Close Protection World, it looks like representatives are looking for some security pros who can fill out management positions that pay a little better. The first post below describes what they are looking for and the pay. Use the email provided to send a CV or go to the forum itself to find out more information.

The other articles I posted below describe the enormity of the event. They have to fill 10,000 positions and get background checks on all of them. So lots of work is required to make sure that just the security force is squared away and actually ‘secure’. –Matt

Funny Stuff: The ‘Anti-Terror Assault Vehicle’

Wheel scary: Chinese anti-terror police practise killing drills on scooters

By Daily Mail Reporter

Chinese elite anti-terror police officers are wheeling into action ahead of next month’s Beijing Olympics on two-wheeled scooters.

Members of the country’s armed police unit practised on the Segway models that have been re-named ‘Anti-Terror Assault Vehicles’ in the eastern province of Shandong.

Killers: Despite the strange appearance of the scooters, the Chinese ant-terror police are lethal in action

Officials have bought 100 Segways and painted some in military camouflage to patrol airports and sporting venues during the Games.

In one drill, police posing as terrorists held ten badminton audience members hostage, ‘shooting dead’ four ‘hijackers’, capturing two and defusing a mock car bomb.

The exercise was to test the province’s emergency response and involved 1,500 people.

The Segway was the brainchild of American Dean Kamen, who claimed at its 2001 launch that it would make the car obsolete in congested cities. It has since been the object of some derision, however.

The two-wheeled self-balancing machine – powered by an electric motor – allows users to travel as fast as 12.5mph while standing up.

 Chinese Guards

Tracksuited guardians of the flame

The Chinese guards protecting the Olympic torch have been described as heavy-handed, aggressive and even thugs. Who are the men in blue tracksuits?

Wherever the Olympic torch goes, it seems controversy follows. But not as closely as the phalanx of Chinese guards charged with protecting the flame.

The team of men in blue tracksuits was first thrust into the spotlight in London, when scuffles broke out between anti-China protesters and police.

London’s Metropolitan Police said the guardians had no official role and often got in the way of officers trying to restore calm. (more…)
