In a recent post I mentioned that I purchased a small scanner to use at work to help alleviate the boredom of watching folks walk around for 6.5 hours. Unlike my more expensive scanner at home this little sucker picks up any signal within 2 miles without having to program it in. Some unwanted and some very interesting. Within the range I pick up a local hospitals security.
I have always known that Hospital Security is one of the most intensive on the go all the time types of security but after listening to their 3 person crew I am even more in awe of what they do and will be the first to admit that I could not hack it for 1 day. I sure hope you guys get paid well for all you do.
Here is a small list of just some of the things that I heard them doing over a 2 day period. Not to include all the extensions that they have to call for what I would guess is more stuff that needs to be done.
Open Library, Open gift shop, Open Pharmacy, Open Safe at main desk, Open Safe for the day, Code Yellow on the psycho ward. ( Out of control patient ) Answer any alarms that go off, Make ID cards and swipe cards for new employees, Man the helo pad fire apparatus when the Med Flight comes and goes, Assist in the ER to control patients fighting the med staff and assume control of their valuables, Witness that the person that croaked was pronounced as stated on the toe tag, Routine parking lot control, Assist day surgery patients to their cars, Set up beds in rooms as needed, Escort unwanted people off property. I forgot to mention that there are 2 state prisons near by and they bring knuckle heads to the hospital often with all sorts of problems. The security guys have not once complained that they are to busy to answer the next call.
This is just some of the things that I was able to copy down as I could. Hats off big time to you guys.
