Organizations are ethically, morally, and legally required to
maintain safe workplaces that protects employees, visitors and
anyone who frequents their establishments. But why do organizations
that employee uniformed security personnel as part of their overall
workplace violence prevention program still struggle to create and
maintain the safest possible workplaces? To meet these obligations
organizations often employ uniformed security officers to deter,
observe, and report criminal behavior, and in some contexts, they
physically interact with dangerous individuals to protect
employees, consumers and visitors from violent behaviors.
Unfortunately, many organizations don't utilize their security
personnel to their fullest potential and organizational and
community members continue to be victims of workplace violence.
This book identifies the flawed principles, policies and personnel
decisions that organizations use, and it provides practical
solutions to address them. The book covers two major themes: the
misapplication of law enforcement community safety principles to
private, free-market businesses and the use of risk aversive
philosophies to their security officer's activities. This book
covers the principles, policies and personnel necessary for
maximizing the effectiveness of uniformed security personnel to
successfully mitigate potential workplace violence and create and
maintain safe organizations. There is a strong need for this book
since workplace violence prevention has taken on a new focus due to
increases in workplace violence incidents and new laws requiring
organizations to take a more serious approach to workplace violence
prevention. The healthcare and campus markets are most affected by
these laws and are under public scrutiny because of their
vulnerable populations. These two markets combined employ the most
non-contract, propriety private security personnel in the country.
Both markets rely on uniform security officers to create and
maintain safe communities and play an important role in their
respective workplace violence prevention plans.
