🚩 Red flag laws prevent individuals who show signs of being a threat to themselves or others from purchasing, possessing or transporting any kind of firearm. They ensure that no firearm is removed without due process. To request an ESRO, call the Police non-emergency line at 703-691-2131. If there is an immediate danger, call or text 9-1-1.

On-Scene Responders! Think "First Aiders". Usually Security Officers. And they get no credit, only belittling. This hurts them and precludes our understanding of managing critical events. #protection #protectyourbusiness #protect #protectyourassets #protect #security #securityindustry #securityservices #securityprofessionals #securitymanagement #publicsafety #homelandsecurity #policechief #policeofficers #firstresponders #firstaidtraining #firstaid

Every state has their own laws pertaining to the protection of persons and property. In North Carolina the law pertaining to private protection is N.C.G.S 74C- Private Protective Services Act. I will provide a basic breakdown of the main points as it relates to this statute. It will be paraphrased and shortened. I am not a lawyer. 74C-1 Purpose- To increase the performance and reliability of all professions under the PPS umbrella for the public good. - 2/4 There is a PPS Board that determines licenses issued and you must have the proper license and training to perform PPS duties. -3 These are PPS Professionals - Armed armored car, Bodyguard/Exec Protection, Armed courier service, Private lie detection, digital forensic, counter electronic, Security guard/patrol companies, Guard dog service, Private detective/investigator, alarm response (armed). Professions NOT considered PPS- Government employees at any level while conducting their duties, Employee undercover in a job on behalf of a different employer, Proprietary security (must register with PPS if armed), Asset protection specialists, and Search and Rescue EMT. -5 PPS Board may establish standards and control licensing for PPS activities. -6 PPS Board has a Director in charge. -7 Secretary of public safety may investigate violations in regard to this chapter. -8 To perform duties you must apply to the board for a license. Applicants must be 18, good morale character, and their criminal history will be judged when determining their application. -9 License is good for 2 years. -12 The board may deny, revoke, or suspend a license for immoral and criminal behavior. -13 Armed employees must have the required firearms training and registration permit set by the board. This includes contract, proprietary (register armed guards same as PPS), investigators, and armored car. -15 Must have licensee card on person at all times while on duty. -16 Lying about being licensed is a crime -17 Any person or organization violating the provisions of this chapter is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor, up to a $2000 fine and subject to their licensing being revoked. -18 Licensing and experience in other states can be taken into account for a temporary working permit. -21 Police do not need to be licensed as PPS Detective or Guard. Police cannot be on duty or use their police equipment when engaged in their PPS Job. -22 The board can establish a continuous education requirement.

According to Riedman, David (2023), K-12 School Shooting Database, 36.4% of school shootings end in the shooter fleeing and escaping. Rapid gunshot reporting is vital for swiftly apprehending shooters and reducing harm in active situations. Quick reporting is directly linked to the speed of response from law enforcement and security personnel, providing crucial information on the threat's location. In high-stakes scenarios, prompt alert systems, such as Databuoy's SHOTPOINT, significantly boost the chances of identifying, locating, and apprehending the shooter. SHOTPOINT is the fastest reporting shot detection system in the industry and will detect a shot and send a detailed report of where the shot happened within 1 meter of accuracy indoors and 2 meters outdoors. This swift and accurate reporting not only allows first responders, security personnel and law enforcement to react to an active shooter situation with confidence and precision but also contributes to the safety of individuals nearby, increasing the likelihood of shooter apprehensions. #shotdetection #gunshotdetection #schoolsafety #safety #security #sros #schoolleaders #schoolboards #superintendents #schoolprincipals #schoolpr

The reality of most school shootings is that the assailant begins their attack outside, where cameras fail to see anything, and lockdown measures could be deployed in advance of entering school grounds. What if you could immediately and accurately identify and locate a shooter and notify law enforcement? Seems logical, especially if FLEEING/ESCAPING is such a major part of the problem. SPEED. ACCURACY. AUTOMATION. Those features seem to be critical to a viable solution. The disturbing part to me is that many technology solutions that are being implemented at schools are barely more than a band-aid to a serious threat. Sure, metal detectors or computer vision weapons detection could help, but to pretend that it's going to stop the problem is absurd. The sickening part is that a major tragedy will expose these half-baked plans, and it will cost innocent lives before a real solution is implemented.

One of the videos I really enjoy on the topic of searching. Our work involves collaborating with various organisations such as the police, prisons, security agencies, secure children's centers, and other secure units and environments. Searching is consistently a challenge, and it seems that many people search simply to fulfill a requirement rather than with the intention of finding something valuable. Being subjected to a search is not a pleasant experience, neither for the person being searched nor for the person conducting the search. So, the question is: How can we change this? Is it possible to shift the culture surrounding searches? Think about when we go through security checks before boarding a plane. If you have the opportunity to fly business class, the experience can be really enjoyable. The focus is on ensuring everyone's safety, as the repercussions of any security breach can be severe. Can we adopt this same mindset in other environments? If you need any advice, guidance or training on searching drop us a message. #healdtraining #searching #healthandsafety #personalsafety #safety

A question we get asked a lot at Blue Light Group is what does a security guard actually do? A trained security guard is someone who is employed to protect a building or person/persons. Part of a job may be patrolling, patrolling can be done by foot or car/motorbike and involves the security guard walking the perimeter of the building or event. This not only acts as a deterrent for possible crime but also makes customers or clients feel secure and allows the security guard to catch someone in the act. It's important to mention that every security guard may have different responsibilities or duties depending on location, the property or premises and the requirements of the client.
