The results of the Third Annual Campus Safety Salary Survey are in, and the news is good for some, but not for others. This first half of our two-part series discusses how sworn officer pay appears to be on the rise, making it easier for the campus law enforcement community to attract quality sworn personnel. Starting pay for nonsworn officers, however, has decreased, and women and some minorities remain underrepresented.
Southwest Washington Medical Center’s Security Compliance Officer Christopher Paidhrin not only deals with all aspects of IT security, but also the physical protection of this large campus. Here, he discusses how he is able to keep this award-winning hospital protected from intruders, as well as HIPAA and Joint Commission compliant.
