We have security with the same training as you describe but just the other night there were gun shots fired outside of the ED so yes they want to arm the security officers - we also have good response from our police but you never know is there answer............:uhoh21:
I work in a county facility - we have great security presence but the community around us has become increasingly violent - I am struggling with the idea of having armed security (tazers) - anyone out there dealing with this issue? What solutions have you come to?
I graduated a long time ago but that is where I started - I have been working since 1972 and I still appreciate and remember the foundation I got in the ICU - I have gone from the ICU to the ED in a Level One Trauma Center - but I couldn't have done it without those first yrs.
