Petition security guards need more protection

More details

Since the 2011 riots in Britain I petition the government to allow all security staff to be trained to use handcuffs and batons. Not only will this be valuable in assisting the police in times of disorder but it will also help security officers defend themselves when having knifes and weapons pulled on them. I am a security guard and i have been on the recieving end of a knife. I mean how many guards have been killed or injured over the years . It works in other countries . Hell im happy with a trial period
