What does security detail mean?
In the TV show The Shield, Vic has got two autistic children that need special education which demands a bit more money than Vic's salary can afford, so that he goes to his captain and asks for more overtime, more shift and a security detail.
I understand overtime and extra shifts will bring in additional income to Vic, but what does "security detail" mean in the context of a detective within a police station?
Best Answer
Security Detail is a kind of 'personal guard' - like the Secret Service guys who surround the President (especially in movies, there seems to be a trope that no President can have too many Secret Service guys - the more there are, the more likely for something to go wrong;)
I don't recall Vince's reasoning for mentioning Security Detail; I have a vague recollection it may later have to do with some armoured trucks... but it's too many years since I saw it.
