I am a Dutch male and living with my family in Jakarta. Currently I am looking for a job within the safety / security branch.
I am:
Experienced in security operations across multiple locations and circumstances,
Experienced in establishing and implementing security policies and remedial actions
Experienced in building my own team, lead security personnel and manage their performance.
Due to my Police background, I have extensive experience providing (residential) security and potential risk areas.
I know quiet a lot about security systems in Jakarta.
There are two systems, 1 is the legal one, in this case the security people are mostly non experienced and have low income, the fact that they wear a uniform alone will hopefully scare the people enough that they will behave and not do anything wrong.
The second one is the security in the corrupted business.
This is a completely different story.
No uniform, mostly dangerous people and "preman" arranged in a very complex system between the business and police.
The line between police and corrupted business is very vague and you have to know what you get into if you want to work in a business like that.
Unfortunaly, there is where the big bucks are.
My friend (for whom I sent the topic) told me about this situation in Jakarta. That's also the reason why he finds it difficult to find a job within this branche
