In my youth I used to do security work, as a lone unarmed overnight guard, in another city. First at a city parking garage and then later at a car dealership.
We were unarmed, a cheap polyester uniform (with a coat in the winter), and a walkie talkie that barely worked in communicating to the office (and only worked from the roof of the parking garage at the first post). There was a phone on site if we needed to call the local cops, but their ability to respond to these locations was an expected 30 minutes or more in bad weather.
Between us the folks who worked the post knew that our best case situation was if something real bad happened we had to take care of ourselves. We knew where the repair tools were and where we could hide in the event of a violent encounter.
There was always a tire iron in the booth at the parking garage. Cause you never know when someone was going to have to deal with a flat tire.
