ABOUT MIKE THUNDER

Friends and neighbors, I'm Mike Thunder — and depending on who you ask, the greatest security guard who ever clipped on a badge, and a tie.

Over decades in security I've come across some of the craziest and downright appalling "sincidents" you'll ever hear about. Retail floors, loss prevention, the alarm response in a company patrol car in the last place you wanted to visit, the long walk around a dark building at 3 a.m. — I've worked it, and I've written it down.

Consider this blog my memoirs: how true greatness handles the everyday, the mundane, the dangerous and the extraordinary, all while staying cool as a cucumber and occasionally giving the bad guys what's coming to 'em. I might give the occasional squeeze of my own horn, but I've earned that right. Don't believe me? Read the logs and see for yourself.

So grab a donut, save one for me, and be regaled with tales from behind the thin purple line from an insider's point of view. I guarantee a good time you don't even have to call for. You're welcome.
