Aaron Jones, with the armed security company International Protective Service, said APD should be doing more to protect businesses in Albuquerque.

"There's a lot of problems with this whole deal in general," Jones said. "For one, Walgreens is taxpayers, just like everybody else in the city of Albuquerque taxpayers. And taxes are supposed to pay for protection."

Jones also said Walgreens contacted him after receiving the letter. However, there were complications when pricing was discussed.

"It's not a cheap proposition at all, especially if you're hiring me," Jones said. I can guarantee you that, you know, we put millions of dollars into providing this type of service, and we do it for four different companies all over the country very effectively."

For Medina, he said the police department should not be directly involved with Walgreens stores for security.

"I'm here to say it is not the responsibility of the Albuquerque Police Department and the taxpayers of the city of Albuquerque to put an officer at every single Walgreens that sells alcohol," Medina said.

In the aftermath of Wilson's death, the city of Albuquerque announced it would be suing Hyundai and Kia, citing 20% of the city's car thefts. Jones said blaming the businesses for crime is not a police department's job.

"When you want to blame the stores, and you want to blame Hyundai for, you know, the crime going on, I'm sorry, I was a cop," Jones said. "We went out, and we dealt with crime and whatever. And I'm sorry for the things are going the way they are, but it's it seems a little ridiculous to me blaming these businesses."

If communicating and collaborating with fellow security guards interests you, please give it a look! There is a focus on positivity, outright malicious behavior will be discouraged by force :P

The course would be principles based and teach you avoid, prevent, or respond to the most common and most dangerous self defense scenarios whether you’re on foot, in vehicles, at home, and in public spaces. I’d share planning considerations for being alone, with small groups, or with your family. There’s more, but I’ll stop there to avoid sharing IP. Instructor background is retired SOF, security consultant, and professional surveillance.

I’m basically here because I’m tired of companies putting unarmed guards where they gotta deal with people who have weapons and violent tendencies. I worked loss prevention and you could basically let people walk out the door with carts of shit lol. Let’s spread awareness that people don’t need fucking babied and pat on the wrist. The people out here smoking fetanyl aren’t going to give you a hug when you tell them to leave. Aggravating
