Security for Hospitals

Axis offers Security for Hospitals. Hospitals are places of contrast – filled with life’s joys, pain and loss. This makes medical centers a prime target for kidnapping, theft and emotion-based violence. Because our seasoned Protection Officers, both armed and unarmed, have experience dealing with the very scenarios hospitals see most, they are your best asset against criminal behavior.

With fierce competition and high potential for violence, hospitals need professional security that can stop threats quickly and effectively. We exceed the industry standard by having cutting edge training and education to mitigate most circumstances in a peaceful manner.

Your Axis Protection professional is highly trained in de-escalation tactics in case of a hostage, suicide or family violence situation. They are also experienced in active shooter and kidnapping scenarios. While they are skilled in self-defense and hand-to-hand combat, thwarting possible threats or violence in a peaceful manner is their number one priority.

Uniformed Armed Officers at entrances serve as a deterrent to thieves looking for narcotics or medical supplies. Ever vigilant, they surveil for weapons, backpacks, large bags, out of season clothing, disguises, and anxious or overtly emotional behavior, including drug or alcohol use. The goal is to find and extinguish these threats before they get past the entrance to your personnel and patients.

Because Axis Protection knows the needs of Medical Centers are fluid as most hospitals have 24-hours access, we offer a professional security assessment of your facility. We take into consideration your location, secured and unsecured entrances, stairwells, elevators, narcotics lockups, maternity wards, nurseries, NICUs and other sensitive areas when writing up a comprehensive plan for your Axis Protection Officer to implement.

An off-duty police officer may or may not be permitted to lock and unlock doors and set alarms at your facility. The benefit of having an Axis Protection Officers is we can open and close your facility doors, as well as do security sweeps before, during and after use. Ensuring doors are secured and alarms are active where necessary, keeping your facility safe from potential threats. Using our electronic reporting system, your officers will have detailed, GPS marked patrol notes in your email each morning. Management can rest assured knowing their officers are highly trained, seasoned veterans are looking out for your personnel, patients and property.
