You probably already know that the State of Connecticut is not large. Frankly, in square miles, this state ranks 48 out of 50 in our nation. However, in terms of economics and commerce, Connecticut is right up there with the Big Boys. Connecticut is the insurance capital of the United States, manufactures everything from submarines to sewing machines and is a leading producer of dairy products, mushrooms and oyster. This state also gets its fair share of tourists. Connecticut is the whole package and it’s definitely a great place to checkout if you’re interested in working as an unarmed security guard!

Connecticut is a very interesting place to live. First off, the English settled here in 1636, so this state is full of cool old buildings and fun festivals. Second, it has a great location. The entire 250 mile southern border sits on beautiful Long Island Sound. Historic – and fun! – Massachusetts is directly to the north. New York City and the State of New York is to the west, while Rhode Island is directly east. Just past tiny Rhode Island is Cape Code and Martha’s Vineyard. Living in Connecticut, you’re just a short drive from most of New England, New York, New Jersey and parts of Pennsylvania.

In Connecticut, to get a job as an unarmed security guard you will need training and a license. Don’t worry; this is not a big deal. Plus, it’s actually a good thing. Once you get past that hurdle your license is good for five years and YOU are in the driver’s seat!

Another bonus of working in Connecticut is the variety of employers. In near Hartford alone you’ll definitely have your pick.
