What is Rent-a-COP?

A security guard privately hired to walk around a mall, school, concert, event, etc...
Usually rent-a-cops think they are better than everyone else, but usually have very sorry lives. A rent-a-cop usually sees no excitement in his job, so he will bust u for pretty much anything, just for fun

steve: that damn rent-a-cop yelled at me for giving my girlfriend a hug.

dale: oh yeah, that guy hates public displays or affection.

steve: a hug is a public display of affection?

dale: to a rent-a-cop it is!

Rent-a-COP - what does it mean?

1.) The ULTIMATE security guard;

2.) An agent of uniformed or assumed authority who is contracted out by others who shit on them as a means of cost-efficient, cheap-ass, under-qualified, ego-driven, completely useless substitute for actual law enforcement with the mundane task of performing substandard security services (w/ a smile) in a place of total unimportance without any hope of actual recognition for the half-assed job they are expected to fufill;

3.) Any security guard (contract or in-house) that has been retitled "Public Safety" for the sake of some ego-inflated management in order to complete some sense of delusional importance

Lemme see your badge, Rent-a-COP. Do you even have a gun, Rent-a-COP?

Rent-a-COP - meaning

A state certified and trained person who is essentially a private police officer. Used when 24hr police coverage can not be provided. Depending on the state, a "Rent-a-Cop" has arrest powers and carries a weapon. They can easily put you in as much trouble as a "real" cop. Most are Ex-Police/Milatary. Depending on the contract, the pay is actually better than local law enforcement.

Rent-a-COP

A slang term for a Security Guard (known as Security Officer in the business).

There are several kinds of people attracted to this work:

1.) The "Lifer": A loser in life who cannot do anything other than be a waste of space. These are the ones that make it harder for other people to perform a simple job of making sure a client's property doesn't burn down or get ransacked. They are insecure, lazy, and mentally slow. They think that they are somehow like Police or the Military. These tend to be in their late 30's and higher but you can see this sad excuse for existence in some 20 somethings that really fail at life. .

2.) College students: A lot of the younger guards you will run into who seem intelligent are usually in this class. Often this occupation allows for ample study time if done covertly. The pay rate is much better than most college jobs so they play it smart and do these kinds of jobs.

3.) Retired people: Surprisingly enough not every old guard you see will be an idiot. Often these are guys and gals who have retired and in order to have a supplemental income, they take on this job. They are often articulate and fairly intelligent for the most part.

816 Congress Avenue in Downtown Austin has a really bad Lifer at night. Go skate there in the alleyways to watch his dumbass in action. He's a real Rent-a-cop!
