Adding 1 $/hr to a security contract would pay for around 30 hours of annual training, and pay the security guard to take the training! Details here.
- 1 $/hr corresponds to 2000 $/yr
- 30 $/hr * 30 hr = 900 $ in wages and benefits; leaving 1100 $ to pay for courses
- a 40 hr physical control tactics course costs between 600 and 900 $; at 800 $, the total cost would be exactly 2000 $
Can you imagine how much better the service would be if security guards took 30 hours of annual training!!
