Behind the Badge – The Life of a Security Officer

Jack

Welcome to Behind the Badge, the podcast that takes you inside the lives of the people who keep our world safe—security professionals, law enforcers, and frontline protectors. I’m Jack, your host.

Mike

And I’m Mike. Today, we’re doing something different. We’re stepping into the boots of a security officer. But not just any officer—we’re walking through the CV of a guy who’s been everywhere, seen everything, and handled situations most of us only see in movies.

Jack

His name? Klaidas Skrebys. And his job? Keeping people safe—from the streets of London to high-end restaurants, from festivals to football stadiums. But here’s the thing—security isn’t just a job for Klaidas. It’s a mission.

Mike

Let’s rewind the clock. Before he was in the thick of it, Klaidas started with the Army Cadets and the Royal Air Force Air Cadets. That’s where he got his first taste of discipline, teamwork, and responsibility.

Jack

And if you think security is just about standing at a door looking tough, think again. This guy’s got training in Criminal Law, Forensic Psychology, and Offender Profiling. He doesn’t just watch people—he reads them.

Mike

Imagine this—you’re at a high-end restaurant, having the best meal of your life. You don’t notice the guy at the bar shifting nervously, scanning the exits, hand fidgeting in his coat pocket. But Klaidas? He sees it. Before trouble even starts, he’s on it—calm, collected, in control.

Jack

That’s the difference between a guard and a guardian. And this guy? He’s the latter.

Mike

From train stations to nightclubs, he’s dealt with it all—fights breaking out, medical emergencies, high-risk individuals. Ever tried de-escalating an aggressive drunk at 2 AM in a packed nightclub? Yeah, not exactly a walk in the park.

Jack

And let’s not forget—he’s worked security for some of the biggest names in the business. Ever heard of Gordon Ramsay’s establishments? Yeah, this guy was on watch, making sure no one ruined dinner service with an impromptu brawl over who ordered the last steak.

Mike

But it’s not all late-night chaos. Some of the most critical work he’s done? Rail security. You’d be amazed how many situations unfold in a train station—missing persons, lost kids, medical emergencies, and the occasional idiot who thinks the platform edge is a good place to take a nap.

Jack

And here’s where it gets serious. In high-risk environments, you don’t just react—you anticipate. That’s why Klaidas is trained in CCTV surveillance, risk assessment, and crime prevention. He’s not just looking for what’s happening—he’s looking for what could happen.

Mike

And let’s talk skills—First Aid? Check. Mental Health First Aid? Double check. CPR, Oxygen First Aid, Paediatric First Aid? This guy could probably save your life before you even realize you’re in trouble.

Jack

And that’s what separates him from the average security guard. Anyone can wear a uniform. Not everyone can step up, take control, and protect the people around them when it really matters.

Mike

So, let’s break it down. The résumé of Klaidas Skrebys? More than just a piece of paper. It’s a timeline of experience, discipline, and dedication.

Jack

And if you ever find yourself in a crowd, a nightclub, a train station, or a high-end restaurant, take a second to notice the security presence. Because guys like Klaidas? They’re the reason your night goes smoothly. The reason you get home safe.

Mike

And next time you pass a security officer, maybe give ‘em a nod. Trust me, they’ve earned it.
