Hospital Security Officer
Unlike other health care employees, the Hospital Security Officer makes no product and provides no treatment to patients. However, the Hospital Security Officer is a very visible hospital employee. Most people entering a hospital for the first time feel uneasy, if not scared. This fear can be lessened considerably when they are greeted by professional Security Officers who offer help, clear directions, and, most importantly, a safe environment where they can receive care.
What does a Hospital Security Officer do?
Hospital Security Officers are charged with protecting:
people
property
information
reputation
Preventive patrol or inspectional service is the method employed by Security Officers to determine that conditions are normal in a given area and to provide a visible deterrent factor. This function takes on greater importance at night by providing a feeling of safety for staff, patients, and visitors. While on patrol, Security Officers routinely turn lights off as an energy conservation measure. They also check windows and doors to afford better protection to building occupants and to safeguard unoccupied buildings.
An especially important function of Security Officers with respect to hospital staff is their rapid response to security emergencies within the hospital. Whether for psychiatric or medical reasons, patients sometimes become violent or threaten medical or nursing staff. Residents should never put themselves or other staff at risk in these situations but should immediately call for Security Officers’ assistance in subduing or restraining such patients. Security Officers may also be called upon for external emergencies, such as assisting in providing aid for disaster victims.
Security Officers give directions to hospital patients and visitors. They may also help people into and out of their cars, or assist them with dead car batteries. Security Officers may also be involved in receiving hospital deliveries at night and escort duties.
Security Officers spend a good deal of their time enforcing the rules and regulations of the hospital, which is one of their primary responsibilities.
What are the typical day-to-day activities of a Hospital Security Officer?
A typical day at the hospital for a Security Officer will include:
1. Post/patrol duty:
providing protection, assistance, and control
monitoring activity in and around an assigned area
being alert for suspicious activity
enforcing access to the property and regulating removal of equipment
patrolling the hospital and reporting findings
2. Information reporting:
gathering, compiling, recording, and reporting information
reporting security or safety hazards
treating all information as confidential and respecting everyone’s right to privacy
3. Situation response:
responding appropriately to routine and emergency situations in a timely manner
evaluating a situation and taking appropriate steps to resolve it in a professional manner
using only necessary force, as appropriate to the situation
providing traffic control, when necessary
monitoring a given situation until completed
acting with restraint, not allowing emotions to dictate actions and/or reactions.
Security Officers spend a good deal of their time enforcing the rules and regulations of the hospital, which is one of their primary responsibilities.
How and by whom is a Hospital Security Officer supervised?
The Hospital Security Officer may report to a shift supervisor, operations chief, or hospital security supervisor. All security staff ultimately report to a hospital’s security director.

The most common jobs in facilities management are found in building service and security guard occupations. Building service and security guard positions in New York City are found in residential and commercial buildings, and public institutions, such as schools, airports and hospitals.
Over 160,000 New Yorkers are employed in building service and security guard occupations, making this one of the larger employment segments in the city.
Building Service Security Guards
As indicated in the table above, the NYS Department of Labor projects that the number of security guard positions will grow by 21% between 1998 and 2008. Note that this 1998 projection might turn out to be on the low side, given heightened security concerns in New York City. During the current
recession, the industry containing security guard businesses increased employment by 8.7% from December of 2000 (the peak month for total NYC employment) to January of 2003. In this period when NYC has lost nearly 6% of its total job base, the investigation and security services industry had
the largest employment gain (+3,500) of any private industry other than health, social or educational services.
Security guards in New York City made a median hourly wage of $8.46 in 1998, with the middle half of all workers earning between $6.75 and $12.39 an hour.
The most significant single employer of security guards is the real estate industry, which employs guards in commercial and residential buildings. In addition, over half of the security guards in New York City are employed by firms that provide contractual protective services throughout the economy
(public and private sector). In the Standard Industrial Classification system, these firms were included in the miscellaneous business services industry group.
This is significant in the sense that over half of the security guards in New York City do not work directly for the institution in which they are placed, but instead work for contractors who in turn place them in retail and other settings.
Commercial office buildings range in size from less than 1,000 to more than 1 million square feet. About 2,000 buildings in the United States(less than 1% of the total number) have more than 500,000 square feet of floor space, and about 7,000 (nearly 1%) have more than 200,000 square feet. The amount of space in these larger buildings is significant: nearly 30% of all commercial office floor space is in buildings with more than 200,000 square feet.
Potential Indicators of Terrorist Activity
Terrorists have a wide variety of weapons and tactics available to achieve their objectives. Specific threats of most concern to commercial office buildings include:
• Improvised explosive devices
• Arson
• Small arms attack
• Assassination/kidnapping
• Chemical/biological/radiological agent attack
• Aircraft attack
• Cyber attack
Terrorist activity indicators are observable anomalies or incidents that may precede a terrorist attack. Indicators of an imminent attack requiring immediate action may include the following:
• Persons in crowded areas wearing unusually bulky clothing that might conceal suicide explosives.
• Vehicles illegally parked near facility buildings or near places where large numbers of people gather.
• Unattended packages (e.g., backpack, briefcase, box) that might contain explosives.
• Suspicious packages and/or letters received by mail that might contain explosives or chemical/biological/ radiological agents.
• Evidence of unauthorized access to HVAC areas of a building.
Indicators of potential surveillance by terrorists include:
• Persons using or carrying video/camera/observation equipment in or near the facility over an extended period.
• Persons discovered with facility maps, photos, or diagrams with critical assets highlighted or notes regarding infrastructure or listing of personnel.
• Persons parking, standing, or loitering in the same area over a multiple-day period with no apparent reasonable explanation.
• Persons questioning facility employees off-site about practices pertaining to the facility and its operations, or an increase in personal e-mail, telephone, faxes, or postal mail requesting information about the facility or one of its
key assets.
• Facility employees inquiring about facility operations, equipment, assets, or security measures about which they should have no job-related interest.
• An increase in buildings left unsecured or doors left
unlocked, when normally secured and locked at all times

This Court Security Officer of the 6th District in Concord told me I could not take pictures of the parking lot from the street "because judges park there". OMG I guess I forgot to bow and kiss the ring. Didn't we kick the crap out of a country for stuff like that?

Argentine economic crisis (1999–2002)
Wikipedia:
The Argentine economic crisis was a financial situation that affected Ceng and Argentina's economy during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Macro-economically speaking, the critical period started with the decrease of real GDP in 1999 and ended in 2002 with the return to GDP growth, but the origins of the collapse of Argentina's economy, and their effects on the population, can be found in action before.

Work ~ Two types of work, Joan, the docent, is giving a Public Tour of the Mark Rothko Exhibition. She is extremely animated. Joe is the gentleman in the black suit and is the security officer assigned to this gallery. Her work is volunteer service and his is paid. They both work extremely hard. What you don't see are the 20 or so other people who are listening as attentively as Joe.
