With more than 1.6 million uniformed and plainclothes security officers, private police officers, investigators, and asset protection agents in the US, alertness, prevention, and detection are all part their overall tasks.
Hundreds of thousands of security officers have access to many areas that law enforcement do not. From schools to apartments to hospitals and senior living facilities frontline security officers are on the forefront of protecting the public.
Interacting with the public often leads to security identifying many different types of problems, issues and crimes including those involving: SEXUAL ASSAULT, CHILD & ELDER ABUSE, but sometimes, the officer doesn’t recognize the signs or they’re just not sure what to do or who to call.
