Critical Environments
Healthcare Security
Emergency department, ward and clinic coverage by officers trained for people in crisis, not for confrontation.
Overview
What this covers
Healthcare is the hardest environment a security officer works in. The people who become aggressive are usually frightened, in pain, in withdrawal or in psychiatric crisis, and an officer whose only tool is authority will make almost every one of those situations worse.
Praxon staffs healthcare with officers selected and trained for de-escalation, trauma awareness and restraint used only as a genuine last resort. They work as part of the clinical team, supporting code response, patient watch and staff safety while understanding that a hospital is a place of care first and a controlled site second.
