Hospital Security
PRAELIO® Security & Risk Management is a veteran-owned and operated company offering hospital security services throughout the United States. We offer standard security options, and our security services are far above standard.
From commanding military operations to defending some of our nation’s most vulnerable populations and critical infrastructure, we understand that hospital security is more than just protecting a building—it’s about safeguarding the lives of everyday American citizens. The hospital saves lives; we protect them.
Why hospitals need security:
Unlike banks or other high-value financial institutions, a hospital doesn’t seem like the kind of place that needs high-end security. After all, there are usually only sick patients and hospital staff there, right? But most people intuitively understand it’s not that simple, and they’re right: the safety of patients, visitors, and staff is liable to various threats. Violence, theft, and other crimes are always possible.
The different security issues hospitals face:
- Soft target:
Like sports stadiums or shopping malls, hospitals are high-density locations, which means there are large numbers of people and high activity concentrated in one place. Unless there is strong and visible security in place, hospitals can be deemed as “soft” or “easy” targets.
- Vulnerable demographic:
Another reason hospitals are soft targets is that they are also full of a vulnerable demographic—patients, who are weak and debilitated—as well as working staff, who can be busy and distracted at their work, and visitors coming and going.
- Sensitive information:
Besides many health issues being private and personal, hospitals also host a large store of sensitive and private information about each of their patients—information such as home addresses, bank and insurance info, or social security numbers. Because of this, they can become targets of identity or information theft.
- Internal threats:
It is not uncommon for hospitals to face internal threats of violence from patients who may be acting belligerently, reacting badly to drugs, or suffering from mental health issues. Many hospital staff rely on security guards working on-site to help them deal with aggressive or violent patients.
Why Praelio is the difference your hospital needs:
Don’t just rely on our veteran background. We are also experts in Behavioral Threat Assessment Management (BTAM). We assess behaviors so that we can proactively prevent threats from happening. Protecting vulnerable populations is also fundamental to our security philosophy, which is why we are always proud to serve and protect hospitals.
