I worked for 25 years as a police officer in Baltimore, Maryland. Some of the horrific things I saw on my beat are too graphic and disturbing to relate here, but let me tell you that over time I learned to expect the unexpected. No crime was gruesome enough to turn my stomach; nothing shocked me. As soon as I earned my pension, I retired from the force and stayed busy by working as a security guard in a large shopping mall.
The difference between the two jobs was dramatic to say the least, but being a mall cop had its benefits. I learned all I could ever hope to know about surveillance systems, and it occurred to me that if I could keep watch over my home the same way I did the mall environment my family would be much safer. I went online and purchased a video surveillance system right away; thanks to my job training, I already knew how to install and operate it.
