Need to get a patient from one end of the hospital to the other? Our dedicated porters help inpatients arrive at their destinations on time, and move supplies, like crash carts, to clinical settings.
The amount of cringe wanna-be cop behaviour in this video is astounding. Not surprised at all that they're with Paladin. I've worked security all over the GTA and I can say they are singlehandedly the most unprofessional and lazy company I have ever seen.
Paladin is the Canadian company that bought out, Criterion Security in the U.S. Palamerican is Paladin and American put together because Paladin was already in use in the states. They then took over the Steward Healthcare contract across the U.S.
Get someone other than Paladin Security. It's hard to feel safe when you use a company that's notorious for getting hands on with the people they should be protecting.
I worked as security officer in Hospital for 3 years , i really enjoyed working,helping people,duty of care, yes its obviously hard work ...need to walk about 15 to 20 km aday some time need to run ... sad part was pay was not good.....
I've worked in security for years now, both plain clothes and uniformed hospital security and watching these guys in action is embarrassing. Their communication skills, both verbal and body language wise, are subpar and i would imagine they're the type to escalate situations by their demenor. Aa for the hospital it seems like they have no trust in their security by having the electronic wands checking their movements and the unnecessary amount of paperwork. Where I worked you only had to write reports for cases where you went hands on with patients/visitors/employees, and not for every service call. My hospital required one patrol of each floor per shift and anything else was gravy. They knew we were patroling more than that and we reflected that with our daily logs of our activities. Any suspicion we were doing something wrong they would just review the cameras to confirm the truth which rarely happened because they took you at your word. Plus issuing written warnings on smoking, really? We'd go out there and tell them where the property ended and they can smoke there, just not near the building. Most people respected that, every once in awhile theyd be jerks and as long as they were a visitor you could tell them to leave. Not gonna lie though, they had a much nicer morgue than where I worked. Ours was a walk in cooler that could hold up to 8 people and it wasn't even close to big enough. We handled intakes and releases as well which is definitely the oddest part of being hospital security. Personally, I thought there should be dedicated staff to handle that but that wasn't my call.
Back in 2015 I had to rush my mother into the emergency room at this hospital (formerly Scarborough Grace) and was stopped and threatened that I would be kicked out by one of these Paladin toy cops for my "attitude". The next day I went back to the hospital to speak to the on-duty supervisor about the incident and this time was actually booted of the premise because he said a nurse told her that I've been filming inside the hospital. For the record, I've later confirmed with the hospital communications manager that video-recording is allowed in public areas except inside the emergency room where there might be other patients being treated.
@@BRAVO0NETV There's a very good reason why you shouldn't run. 1) you don't alarm the rest of the hospital. 2) you can't help people if you just ran across the hospital and end up being tired before arriving at the call.
Omfg this doesn't even begin to cover the amount of BS you actually have to deal with working hospital security... Maybe it's because I work in the biggest hospital in my state and we have 3 psychiatric wards, a drug treatment clinic, plus 6 emergency rooms, and a morgue that's WAY too small for the size of the hospital where the floor is sometimes lined with bodies when we run out of storage space...
Mona B healthcare officers don't carry in California. There are however some exceptions with large hospitals with trauma centers, but even then they are only subject to tasers. California hate armed guards...
The guy with the wheeled bag to collect change... I thought he had a GOD DAMN BEATING HEART IN THAT CASE! Security escorting him ASAP to the operating room! He was just there to collect from the vending machines? What a joke!
@Hubris I did security work at a college in a major city where vending machine employees were regular visitors. Never did we escort or were asked to escort a vending machine employee or his purse with 20 dollars in loose change. It would be a colossal waste of time and manpower that the college has allocated to general security. Simply put, spending 20 bucks for a guard's time to guard 20 bucks just doesn't add up. That's why this video is silly. Paladin Security tries to make themselves look like more than they really are. Real security companies don't have to manufacture risk for their clients.
I have worked as a security guard in Ontario more specific the GTA area where this is based, and I can say working as security at a hospital is the most difficult site to work at. On a daily bases you will deal with and see more stuff then any security guard working at say a mall or apartments or what not will see. Now for the people working as security guards (specifically talking about Ontario) There are 2 groups of people that work as security guards. The first group are what you would call "lifers" these are guards that usually dont have a good or any education or have immigrated and see this being the best job they can get, they usually stay in the security industry their whole life. The 2nd group are people like me that have a education background in law enforcement through college/university and working as a security guard is a stepping stone towards becoming a police officer or special constable. Most if not all police officers/special constables started out working as security guards.
Funny enough, special constables, corrections officers and brinx guard all do not need more than highschool education. In fact experience is much more valued. Police or border agents? Different story.
Having to scan those detex points is the worse part of security. It’s embarassing some hospital security has to do that. Everyone hates that. The 2 big level one trauma centers which were also police departments I didn’t have to do that but for the small community hospital I did. Huge turnoff for the job
Ok don't do it for life get some other goals missed out on security is just a glorified baby sitting services with people qulabale enough think there emplortant try our military better training
It's a tough job ,working as a hospital security officer...having stuff thrown at you being threatened ,it's a tough job..only thing I have too say with no disrespect,I think the officer needs too shave his beard down or clean it up for professionalism....
@Redacted Except it's pretty easy to get into Corrections with Security experience, and where I live CO's are pulling in an easy six figures after overtime.
A stat is an urgent call . And a code white is aggression, which in a hospital can be anything. The site i work at we get alot of meth addicts who get very violent.
Cody Whittington Very true. I work Hospital Security currently. We are never allowed to run to a call. They only time we can run is if a patient on a hold tries to run out of the building.
@@rockbandwii6 No cause their not guarding anything of high currency value. If you transport money or jewelry in Canada you are armed. One Officer has a 9mm the other carries a 45.
Jeez, I was cringing the whole time. Acting like Special Agents when coin man was collecting change. Using words like "intel" (short for intelligence) because that's how the big boys say it. Handing out fake infraction tickets, because you are "the law." Loving the facial hair and head-cam. Your parents must be so proud. Do a follow up - it could be like one of those fly on the wall documentaries. You could call it "HospCops - from ObamaCare to Scarborough Fair."
You totally made my day. I have a friend who became a security guard at a hospital and he thinks he's made it. It actually seems like he's looking down at people now. PATHETIC.
