We Provide Hospital & Healthcare Security Guard Services
Staff members and patients will feel more at ease, when they see our security guards, because the presence of these individuals lets them know that when they’re on the premises, their valuables and their persons are in safe and capable hands. While hospital security guards may not always be in plain sight, such as when they’re actively patrolling the hospital property, they are always going to be nearby and ready to respond if a security issue were to arise.
Our hospital security personnel can protect your staff and patients from some potential risks, including arguments in the patient waiting areas, individuals in unauthorized locations, health concerns, and even property theft. Due to the high-level of knowledge and training, our security staff has, they know how to act orderly and quickly in any situation that may arise.
For Your Patients
When patients arrive at a hospital, they expect to receive the best possible care and remain safe while being treated. Our security staff will help safeguard private patient rooms and ensure no unauthorized personnel disrupts their treatment or healing process. Our security guards are discreet, but present, ensuring that if some security issue does arise, there’s someone to make sense of the situation and prevent it from escalating further.
Hospitals have to put security as a top priority. Hiring the private security consultants at Fast Guard will ensure the property, staff, and patients are safe and secure at all times. It will also minimize the potential of safety issues arising down the road.
You can’t settle for an unproven security service, as the services they offer may not be able to provide the protection that is needed. Fast Guard security consultants are correctly trained and able to handle common and uncommon protection issues that may arise in a hospital setting, providing peace of mind for those working at or seeking treatment from the facility.
Here are a few frightening statistics that should paint the picture for you:
- Over 50% of hospital security are now armed
- The number of armed guards in hospitals has more than quadrupled in the last decade
- Violent crime incidents in hospitals have quadrupled in that same time period
- More than 10,500 acts of violence have been committed against hospital employees in the last few years alone
- Many hospitals are hiring armed guards part time, such as overworked off duty police officers
- Many security guards guarding healthcare facilities are not properly trained in regards to weaponry
Healthcare institutions must be safe zones for the patients that need care and the employees, nurses and doctors that supply that care. Unfortunately, there are many in the world today who respect nothing, and will just as soon bring violence to a hospital as anywhere else. That is why so many hospitals now employ armed security and armed guards to protect both patients and staff.
