1) Yep.
2) You see less than 1/2 the security (from what we are told)
3) And you see A LOT, if you include
. . . traffic direction
. . . resort guard shacks 24/7
. . . bag-check guards at all the parks
. . . walking-around guards in parks/DTD
. . . driving streets and resorts in cars/vans/golfcarts
. . . park and DTD parking lot rovers
4) Security is serious biz at WDW.

On one of the backstage tours I went on one of the questions that came up was about security. The tour guide had started out in the college program and then gotten a regular full time job at Disney, so had been there many years. He laughed and said security was one of the main priorities for Disney and there were plain clothes security every where, not just in the stores. He said the goofiest looking tourist was probably an off duty Orange Sheriff County police officer working security for Disney. He said you never notice them until they're needed, then they seem to come out of the woodwork. He also said the ones in uniform that you notice are just the tip of the iceberg and are there as a visible presence for tourists, but it's the plain clothes ones that are more numerous.

I'm a police officer

And I'm looking forward to working for Disney when I retire.
I'm sure that the security guys/girls we see are the tip of the iceberg. I'd like to work UC when I get hired.

I cannot beleive they are still draging up this video of ONE Isolated inccident and some laughing about it....and at the same time trying to say that its a honest example of security.


Lets look at another..........I canit find the video that was being passed around the internet......but how about at the MK,that child abuser that THREW his baby at a bus driver.........and the excellent way the driver restrainted the criminal.......a supervisor was there in a very few minutes and secuirty officers(both in uniform and plain clothes) were there in a few minutes later and the criminal and his wife( who was hiding in the crowd becuse she was afriad of her husband) and child, were led away.

Well, your name is TowMater.

This thread is enlightening. Now I'm going to be on the lookout for the plain clothes officers. Wonder how many I'll find.
