Promedica Health Security, Toledo, Ohio. This unit was originally used at Toledo Hospital but had been moved to a smaller campus. Unfortunately this unit was involved in an accident and was likely retired as I had not seen it again after I took these photos.
The security industry is growing at such an enormous rate; therefore increasing the demand for a place for aspiring security officers to train.

On May 22, 2020, members of the Diplomatic Security Service Basic Special Agent Course (BSAC) Class 146 conducted Protective Security (PRS) training at Fort Pickett in Blackstone, Va., where the Foreign Affairs Security Training Center is located. PRS training is the final exercise in BSAC and simulates dignitary protection in a motorcade and on foot. During this training, the special agent candidates wore face coverings and maintained social distancing in accordance with recommended protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Activists are trying to break through the cordon of security guards.
--
Today, April 19, Police in the Moscow region detained the activists who tried to obstruct the works to prepare an area in the Khimki Foreign for construction work within the project to build a Moscow-St Petersburg highway.
"About 10 Khimki forest activists who tried to stop illegal logging... were detained by the police," the movement to defend the Khimki forest said in a statement.
Among the detainees are leader of the For Protection of the Khimki Foreign movement Yevgeniya Chirikova and coordinator of the Left Front movement Sergei Udaltsov.
The group's coordinator Yevgenia Chirikova wrote in her Twitter blog that riot troops and local policemen beat and handcuffed some of the activists at the site near Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport.
A video from the scene showed a police colonel announcing on a megaphone that the gathering of about 20 people was illegal but the activists said they wanted to check the loggers' documents permitting the work.
Police then rounded them up and bundled them in a van, the video showed.
Within two hours at the police station arrested persons are not allowed to eat, drink and sit down. Journalists and other ecology activists were not allowed to enter the police department. After that, arrested activists were taken to court. Seven more hours in the courthouse activists were not allowed to go to the toilet.
Finally, one of activists Yaroslav Nikitenko was found not guilty and all the activists were released.
Last Tuesday, special equipment was used to begin to clear the territory from felled trees. Representatives of Greenpeace Russia appeared at the scene, together with activists of the For the Protection of the Khimki Forest movement.
