Emergency-department violence
EDs see 80% of hospital assaults. Dedicated ED officers with CPI/CIT training prevent escalation without physical intervention when possible.
Healthcare & Hospitals
Hospital security
that protects
clinicians and patients.
Healthcare environments are the most assault-prone workplace in America. Our hospital officers de-escalate psychiatric crises, manage the ED lobby, and know the difference between a HIPAA-protected situation and a public-safety one.

01 / The Real Problem
What actually
goes wrong.
Every sector has its own failure modes — the incidents that repeat, the complaints that show up on every RFP. Here’s what we’ve learned watching healthcare sites across Tennessee since 1998.
Psychiatric hold management
Behavioural-health patients under 6404/6405 hold. Officers trained to maintain safe environment without adding to trauma.
Infant & pediatric security
Abduction prevention, band-matching enforcement, maternity-ward access. Coverage meets Joint Commission standards.
Pharmacy & controlled-substance
DEA-scheduled medication areas, after-hours pharmacy, and diversion-event response. Audit-trail maintained continuously.
02 / What We Deploy
Six healthcare-specific
disciplines.
Generic guard companies offer the same six SKUs to every sector. We deploy healthcare-tuned services with training, SOPs, and post-orders built for the environment.
H·01
ED & lobby officers
Dedicated emergency-department officers with CPI verbal de-escalation and physical-management certification.
H·02
Campus & parking patrol
Roving officer patrol of hospital campus, parking decks, and employee-entry zones on 24/7 rotation.
H·03
Behavioural-health support
Trained officers for psychiatric-hold environments, behavioural-health units, and patient-watch coverage.
H·04
Labor & delivery / infant
L&D access control, infant-security-system integration, abduction-drill participation, band-reconciliation protocols.
H·05
Workplace-violence response
Code-grey response protocols, staff-escort programs, domestic-violence spillover management at the workplace.
H·06
Employee escort & safety
Night-shift employee escort to vehicles, parking-deck coverage during shift change, known-threat protocols.
03 / Compliance & Credentials
Paperwork that
passes audit.
Your contracts, certifications, and compliance obligations become ours. Here are the industry-specific credentials every healthcare officer carries before first shift.
IAHSS
IAHSS Basic + Advanced
International Association for Healthcare Security & Safety Basic and Advanced certifications for every hospital officer.
HIPAA
HIPAA-trained
All hospital officers complete HIPAA training with annual recertification. PHI-aware incident reporting.
CPI
CPI verbal + physical
Crisis Prevention Institute Nonviolent Crisis Intervention — verbal de-escalation and safe physical management if required.
Joint Comm
Joint Commission aware
Post orders built around Joint Commission Environment of Care standards and sentinel-event protocols.
04 / From the Log
Real incidents.
Real responses.
Redacted entries from the healthcare incident log. Site names, client names, and personal details removed. Times and outcomes are real.
02:33Incident · 01
ED, downtown hospital
Intoxicated patient escalates toward triage nurse. ED officer intervenes verbally with CPI framework, separates patient from staff, maintains safe distance until clinical team administers sedation. No injury to staff or patient.
14:17Incident · 02
L&D, women's campus
Infant-security alarm triggers at elevator bank. Officer at L&D front responds in 40 seconds, verifies band-reader, confirms mother-infant pair accounted for. False alarm — system reset, drill passed.
21:45Incident · 03
Employee parking deck, main campus
Night-shift RN reports being followed in parking deck. Officer responds with body-cam, escorts RN to vehicle, reviews deck CCTV with risk-management next morning. Subject identified as lost visitor — hospital-wide notice issued.
05 / Frequently Asked
Healthcare questions,
answered.
The questions we’re asked most on healthcare RFPs, site walks, and scope-of-work calls — answered directly.
Q · 01Are your officers HIPAA-trained?
Every hospital officer completes HIPAA training during onboarding and recertifies annually. Our incident-report templates are PHI-aware, and we follow your facility's specific privacy protocols.
Q · 02Do you do physical interventions with patients?
Only when verbal de-escalation fails and patient or staff safety is imminently at risk. Our physical-management approach is CPI-certified and fully integrated with your clinical team's protocols.
Q · 03Can you meet Joint Commission requirements?
Yes. Our post-order structure is built around Joint Commission EC.02.01.01 security management, our officers are IAHSS Basic certified as a minimum, and we support sentinel-event investigations per your RCA process.
