Assessments, site visits and managing officer morale can help pave the way for the successful merging of disparate hospital security programs.
Accreditation demonstrates that this Maryland school’s nonsworn public safety department uses best practices.
Hospitals often employ off-duty law enforcement officers as supplemental security, but many may be doing so at their own risk. Any person employed by a health-care facility must learn about CMS’ Conditions of Participation (C.o.P.s), as well as the proper application of patient restraints and use of restrictive interventions.

CALEA accreditation, an increased department presence on campus, and a decrease in crime are just some of her accomplishments. Read on to see how she made it to the top.
