Tactical communications
This document provides guidance for security officers on effective tactical communications. It discusses using verbal communication to prevent confrontations from becoming violent and maintain professionalism. The goals of a security officer are to gain voluntary compliance by enforcing rules respectfully. It identifies three types of people that officers may encounter - "nice", "difficult", and "whimps" - and strategies for communicating with each. These include listening, empathy, respectful phrasing and tone, and explaining potential gains or losses from compliance or non-compliance. The document also outlines approaches like deflection, personal space, and multi-step contact and resolution processes. The overall message is that respectful communication can help security officers resolve situations safely and effectively.
Unit 6
Security guards are expected to respond effectively to emergency situations such as fires, bombs, or medical emergencies. They should be familiar with their employer's emergency response procedures and know their role. Security guards may be responsible for detecting emergencies, notifying authorities, evacuating premises, and securing scenes. It is important for security guards to receive training on potential emergencies and how to minimize damage through preparedness and an organized response.
Workplace Violence Training
1) Workplace violence is a serious issue, costing over $121 billion annually in the US. Homicides are the second leading cause of death for women at work.
2) There are four types of workplace violence: outside threats, clients/customers, co-workers, and related parties like family members.
3) Early warning signs of potential violence include changes in behavior like increased paranoia, aggression, and threats. Employees should report any warning signs to supervisors.
Bullying
An easy approach for little minds to learn quickly what bullying is, how and why its done, how to resist and whom to talk to about it.
How to handle difficult calls
Let the caller speak fully before responding. Take notes on key facts and feelings expressed without judgment. Plan your response to address the situation while ignoring emotional aspects. Thank the caller for sharing their views before hanging up. Discuss difficult calls with colleagues afterwards to process your own feelings. You may end calls if the caller becomes aggressive, bullying or makes personal attacks.
Duty protocol & crisis response
This document outlines the duty protocol and crisis response procedures for resident advisors (RAs) during their duty shifts. It details check-in procedures, visibility expectations, radio usage, communication methods, and emergency response steps. For any incident, RAs should first contact the area coordinator (AC) on duty for guidance. In life-threatening situations, RAs should call 911 and security, as well as notify the AC. RAs are expected to document all incidents in reports and get backup from other staff if unsure how to respond. Above all, RAs are told to trust their instincts and ensure student safety.
Safetytalk Derrick Arm Failure
A derrick arm collapsed while lifting a motor at an oil refinery, causing the motor to fall on equipment below. An investigation found that corrosion in an empty space in the derrick's structural foundation weakened and ultimately failed the arm under the weight of the motor. The corrosion was caused by accumulated rainwater in the empty foundation space. Lessons from the incident include filling empty spaces in structures to prevent water accumulation and corrosion, regularly inspecting derricks, and ensuring lifting equipment is sound before use.
SafeWalk Presentation
SafeWalk is an app that finds the safest routes between locations in New York City at any time of day. It analyzes over 1 million major crime reports from 2005 to 2016 in the NYC Open Data dataset. Using algorithms like Dijkstra and k-nearest neighbors, it associates each crime with a road and calculates crime costs based on the hour and type of crime. This cost model is validated using external crime data from Trulia. The app then provides personalized route recommendations based on the user's self-reported personal fear of crime level.
