Armed Security Guards for Healthcare Facilities

PGSS provides professional armed healthcare security guards in Denver for facilities requiring an enhanced level of protection.

Healthcare workers regularly interact with members of the public under stressful circumstances. Medical emergencies, grief, intoxication, behavioral crises, domestic disputes, criminal activity, and disagreements involving treatment can create unpredictable situations.

Armed security can provide an additional level of protection when the facility’s risk assessment and operating environment justify it.

Depending on the assignment, armed healthcare security guards can provide access control, entrance security, interior and exterior patrols, employee escorts, parking security, incident response, suspicious-person monitoring, and coordination with law enforcement and emergency services.

The firearm is a protective tool—not the healthcare security strategy. Effective healthcare security depends on situational awareness, communication, de-escalation, professional conduct, sound judgment, and appropriate response.

Emergency Department Security

Emergency departments can present some of the most challenging security environments within healthcare.

Patients and visitors may arrive experiencing extreme stress, intoxication, behavioral crises, injuries, grief, anger, or other circumstances that can contribute to disruptive or violent behavior.

Security personnel can maintain a visible presence near emergency department entrances, waiting areas, treatment-area access points, and other designated locations.

Responsibilities can include access control, response to disturbances, assistance with disruptive individuals, employee protection, visitor issues, incident documentation, and coordination with healthcare personnel and law enforcement when necessary.

Workplace Violence Prevention & Response

Healthcare workers can face threats and violence from patients, visitors, former employees, domestic partners, or other individuals.

PGSS can provide additional security when a healthcare organization identifies a workplace violence concern or specific threat.

Security personnel can be positioned around entrances, employee areas, parking facilities, administrative offices, treatment areas, or other locations based on the circumstances.

Coverage can be deployed temporarily following a threat or incorporated into an ongoing healthcare security program.

De-Escalation in Healthcare Security

Security personnel working in healthcare environments must understand that not every difficult interaction should immediately become a physical confrontation.

Patients and visitors may be frightened, confused, frustrated, grieving, intoxicated, or experiencing a behavioral crisis.

Communication, active listening, maintaining appropriate distance, recognizing escalating behavior, slowing an interaction when possible, and attempting to gain voluntary cooperation can often help prevent a situation from becoming more serious.

When circumstances allow, PGSS emphasizes de-escalation and professional communication before physical intervention.

At the same time, security personnel must remain prepared to respond appropriately when behavior creates an immediate safety concern.

Access Control & Entrance Security

Healthcare facilities frequently contain areas that should not be freely accessible to the public.

PGSS security personnel can support facility access procedures by monitoring entrances, observing individuals entering the property, assisting with visitor procedures, monitoring restricted areas, and responding to unauthorized individuals.

Access-control responsibilities can be customized around emergency departments, administrative offices, employee areas, treatment areas, loading areas, or other restricted locations identified by the client.

Patient, Visitor & Staff Safety

Healthcare security involves protecting more than the building itself.

PGSS security personnel can maintain a visible security presence for patients, visitors, physicians, nurses, administrative employees, contractors, and other individuals using the facility.

Security officers can respond to disturbances, suspicious activity, threatening behavior, trespassing, unauthorized access, and other incidents affecting the safety of the healthcare environment.

Behavioral Health Security

Behavioral health environments can present complex situations requiring patience, communication, awareness, and sound judgment.

Security personnel may encounter individuals experiencing emotional distress, behavioral crises, confusion, agitation, or other conditions affecting their behavior.

Security procedures should be coordinated with facility policies and healthcare personnel, with an emphasis on maintaining safety while avoiding unnecessary escalation.

PGSS can provide security support for behavioral health facilities and healthcare organizations with behavioral health operations.

Employee Escorts & Parking Security

Healthcare employees frequently work early mornings, evenings, overnight shifts, weekends, and holidays.

PGSS can provide employee security escorts between healthcare facilities and parking lots or garages when requested by the client.

Security personnel can also patrol parking areas, garages, entrances, walkways, stairwells, elevators, and surrounding exterior areas.

A visible security presence can help deter vehicle crime, harassment, trespassing, and other unwanted activity while providing additional security for employees arriving or leaving the facility.

Hospital Parking Lot & Garage Security

Parking facilities can represent a significant portion of a hospital or medical campus.

Vehicle break-ins, theft, vandalism, suspicious individuals, confrontations, trespassing, and employee safety concerns can occur outside the primary healthcare building.

PGSS can provide vehicle patrols, foot patrols, employee escorts, exterior property checks, and security around entrances connecting parking facilities to healthcare buildings.

Security for Threatening Patients or Visitors

Healthcare organizations sometimes deal with patients, family members, visitors, or other individuals who make threats or repeatedly create security problems.

PGSS can provide an increased security presence when a known concern exists.

Depending on the circumstances, security personnel can monitor entrances, maintain awareness of designated individuals, protect employees, patrol affected areas, document incidents, and respond according to facility procedures and applicable law.

Security can be increased temporarily while the threat is evaluated or maintained when the concern continues.

Healthcare Employee Termination Security

Employee terminations can create additional security concerns when the employee has made threats, demonstrated hostile behavior, or otherwise created concern for management or staff.

PGSS can provide armed security before, during, and after a higher-risk employee termination.

Security personnel can be positioned near administrative offices, entrances, employee areas, or parking facilities and can remain on site afterward when management believes the concern may continue.

Executive Protection for Healthcare Professionals

PGSS provides executive protection and personal security for healthcare executives, administrators, physicians, business owners, and other professionals facing elevated security concerns.

Protection may be appropriate following threats, unwanted attention, workplace incidents, controversial situations, litigation, public appearances, or other circumstances creating an increased risk.

Depending on the assignment, services can include close protection, arrival and departure security, secure transportation, route planning, event protection, and coordination between healthcare facilities, residences, offices, hotels, airports, and other locations.

Mobile Patrols for Healthcare Properties

Not every healthcare property requires a dedicated security officer throughout the entire day.

PGSS provides scheduled and randomized mobile patrols for medical offices, outpatient facilities, clinics, administrative properties, parking areas, and other healthcare locations.

Patrols can include entrances, building exteriors, parking lots, garages, employee areas, loading areas, and other designated locations.

Mobile patrols can operate independently or supplement dedicated healthcare security personnel.

Incident Reporting & Documentation

Accurate documentation is particularly important in healthcare environments.

PGSS security personnel can document disturbances, threats, suspicious activity, trespassing, property damage, security concerns, and other incidents according to the requirements of the assignment.

Clear reporting provides healthcare administrators with a record of security activity and can help identify recurring problems or locations requiring additional attention.

PGSS can also utilize real-time GPS tracking and electronic reporting to improve accountability and management visibility.

Coordination With Police, Fire & EMS

Healthcare security personnel must understand their role within a larger emergency-response system.

When an incident requires assistance beyond the authority or capabilities of private security, guards can contact and coordinate with law enforcement, fire departments, EMS, or other emergency resources.

Security personnel can also assist responding agencies by providing information about the incident, directing responders to the appropriate location, helping maintain access routes, and supporting facility procedures.

Temporary & Emergency Healthcare Security

Healthcare facilities sometimes require additional security with little notice.

PGSS can provide temporary or emergency security following:

  • Threats against employees or the facility
  • Workplace violence incidents
  • Threatening patients or visitors
  • Employee terminations
  • Security-system failures
  • Access-control failures
  • Property damage
  • Increased trespassing
  • Suspicious activity
  • Construction or renovation
  • Special events
  • Other unexpected security concerns

Coverage can be provided for a single shift, several days, multiple weeks, or transitioned into an ongoing security assignment.
