Hello Fellow Officers:
Connecticut has mandated training in order to get the Security Officer license, our policy is " No Touch " policy.
( a ) We do not carry nor are we equipped with any equipment except a personal first aid kit.
( b ) Not insured for providing medical treatment to others our liability policy covers false arrest, use of force, gross negligence.
( c ) Instructors are telling trainees that they are covered under the statutory good Samaritan Law, when in fact we are not the only legal thing on our side is common law rulings.
( d ) If I train and equip my employees and tell them they must provide First Aid & C.P.C. am I or my company liable if they get infected?, A.I.D.S., Hepatitis C, and other communicable diseases, What if one of my Officers infect someone else with a disease, am I liable?.
We are more in line with P.D. services, you need medical attention dial 911, get a paramedic or E.M.T., that's not what we are here for. I got into this with a Trooper in the DPS who got pissed when he asked if we would render him medical assistance and I said no. I even told him our policy was in line with another local P.D. that does not want it's police officers providing medical services.
More less then well thought out legislation by state law makers in Connecticut. What's your actual policies?
