May 14, 2009- Santa Fe, NM-- I don't think that the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Division (RLD) has met its objectives in the security industry. Let's look at their published mission statement that applies to the NM Security Industry below.
Who is responsible for the state of the security industry. Who is responsible for allowing these illegal security companies to operate and steal their employees and client's pay? Could this have been prevented? Who is responsible for allowing criminals to work as security guards in New Mexico? I think we should look to Superintendent of RLD for answers. She is the boss.
My opinion is listed in red. What do you think?
