Holiday Store Security in Florida

ESS Global Corp provides holiday store security in Florida because for small business owners, the holiday season can be a dream as well as a nightmare. The significant increase in shoppers does wonders for your bottom line and generates brand awareness that can last into the new year. But there is a dark backside to the holidays, because with these benefits comes the need to hire additional staff members as well as additional security.

This holiday season as your store begins to fill up, dishonest shoppers and untrustworthy seasonal employees will see it as a more appealing place to take what they’d like without stopping to pay the bill. According to reports by Business News Daily, U.S. retailers are expected to lose over $9 billion dollars from crime this holiday season, mostly from employee theft and shoplifting.
U.S. retailers will lose $4.7 billion through employee theft, $3.8 billion though shoplifting and $400 million through vendor and distribution, according to a new study by the Center for Retail Research.

The losses will represent a 4 percent increase over the same period last year.

Obviously, a profit decrease is exactly the opposite of what you’d hope for the busiest quarter of the year. This is why setting a plan to manage the holiday season’s larger crowds will be crucial to the success of your holiday preparation efforts.
The top three product categories most likely to be stolen over the Christmas period are alcohol, women’s clothing and fashion accessories.
Other attractive targets for crooks and sticky-fingered employees are toys, perfume, health and beauty gift packs and electronic devices such as smartphones and tablet computers.
Also making the top 10 list for thieves are toiletries for men, DVD gift sets and game consoles, food and Christmas decorations, electrical goods including hardware and DIY, watches and jewelry, and chocolates and confectionery.

“The holidays are an attractive time for criminal activities,” according to Theo Billiris at ESS Global. “Thieves take full advantage of busy stores and distracted employees to steal. Retailers need to know that this is the time of year where they face a much bigger threat from professional and semi-professional thieves. The holiday shopping season is when organized retail crime flourishes. Worse, this time of year, the average amount stolen per incident, in much higher than ‘normal’ loss throughout the year.”
ESS Global Corp provides holiday store security throughout Florida. Call the experts in security and keep your holidays calm and profitable.

Florida G License vs a CWP

At ESS Global, we often get questions on “G” and “CWP” rules, laws and reciprocity, so we thought it was time for a Florida G license vs a CWP “FAQ”, to set the record straight. There is plenty of misinformation, so we consulted with one of our top trainers, Mr. John Goldsboro at S1 Firearms Training. John is an NRA certified firearms instructor and a K licensed firearms instructor for the state of Florida. He is also a firearms and defensive tactics instructor for ESS Global Corp.

Florida G License vs a CWP FAQ

Question: I have a Florida statewide “G” license. Can I carry when driving back and forth from work?
Answer: Yes, you can carry/wear your firearm while traveling directly to/from home/armed post.
Question: If have a Florida “G” license, can I work in other states?
Answer: A Florida “G” license is only valid in the state of Florida. If you want to work armed in that state some require you to have their states armed license and a CWP might not be sufficient. Our advice? Call a law enforcement agency in that state to find out precisely what you need to do to follow the laws in that particular state.
Question: I may be working in the Close Protection industry. Do I get a “G” license because it’s for work? Or do I apply for a personal CWP?
Answer: To work any armed security position in the state of Florida you must have both a Class “D” (Unarmed Security License) and a Class “G” License (Armed Security License). If you plan to carry and you expect to work Close Protection assignments outside of Florida, You’ll want a CWP (as long as it’s in the 35 states that honor a Florida CWP). It’s always best to check the state you are traveling to.
Question: When I get a Florida Concealed Carry Permit, what other states is it valid in and what do I do when traveling through a state which doesn’t recognize my Florida CWP?
Answer: A Florida Concealed weapons permit is valid in the following 35 states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico,  North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah,  Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wyoming.
When traveling through the 15 states (and DC) that do not have a reciprocity agreement, ESS Global encourages licensees planning to travel to another state to consult that state’s laws or call a law enforcement agency in that state to find out precisely what carry restrictions apply.
Question: I have a Florida Concealed Weapon/Firearm Permit, but I am not a legal resident of Florida. Can I travel to the states that recognize Florida licenses and still carry a concealed weapon?
Answer: Nope, Florida does not recognize an out-of-state permit that was issued to a non-resident of the licensing state, and other states do not recognize a nonresident Florida carry permit.
Question: I am considering carrying and I recently got an email saying I would need a “Florida Carry Badge”. Is that the same as a permit?
Answer: To carry concealed in the state of Florida you must take a CWP course by a NRA or State Certified instructor or school. After completing the course and successfully submitting your application, you will receive a Florida State CWP Permit Licensed I.D. To legally carry in the state of Florida and its states of reciprocity all you need is your state issued I.D.  CWP Badges are not a requirement and that purchase us up to each licensee. These badges are simply a novelty item. Feel free to ignore their implications that these are “required to remain in compliance” and other sales pitches.
ESS Global Corp - Florida G license vs a CWPWhether you need training for a “D” Security license, a “G” license, or the required training to apply for a concealed weapon permit (CWP), remember that ESS Global Corp is the only protection school in the state of Florida that is licensed by the US Department of Education.

All these Veteran Heroes need to do is show up.ESS
ESS Global Corporation has had a long history of working with Veterans. Here at ESS we take pride inhonoring our military veterans. We like training and hiring veterans at ESS Global Corp, since military skills blend in nicely with security and protection. We are extremely thankful for what they do for this country. While we are blessed to live in the United States of America, we fully understand that it is because of the efforts of our veterans that makes it all possible.
At any given time, approximately 80% to 85% of our staff are military veterans. We do our best to not only employ veterans, but also refer veterans to other companies for work as well. It is our goal here at ESS Global Corporation to get as many veterans working as possible. It is the least we can do for what you have done for us.
Additionally, ESS Global Executive Protection School is currently in the process of becoming post-9/11 G.I. Bill approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs. However, until this approval is final we offer military discounts on training and gear for all military veterans. We also offer special payment plans for training courses with no interest.

ESS Global Corp is proud to sponsor this Veteran’s Event. Warrior Outdoors believes that “A Veteran, whether active duty, retired or active national guard or reserve, is someone who in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to “the United States Government” for an amount of up to and including their life.”
