The last thing many successful women want in their stressful environment is to deal with an overbearing or restrictive executive protection (EP) team. But when a female principal needs a security presence, a little added consideration can go a long way to ensure the protection is accepted and valued.
Today’s protection professionals are far more likely to blend into the background than dominate it. And while many of them are armed, the weapon is seldom used and that is 100 percent by design.
From tasers to firearms to pepper spray, security officers are increasingly armed in some capacity while completing their duties. But what goes in to selecting the type of weapon an officer will carry on the job? This issue of Security Technology explores the topic.
Brandon Payne, executive director for the National Council on School Facilities, joins this month’s episode of Security Management Highlights to discuss how to integrate security and safety into school facility planning and funding during both retrofits and new builds. Then, Kevin Jones, CPP, PCI, addresses key considerations for arming security professionals, from legal liability to insurance to continuous training.
