Our Physical Security Specialist and I (Lead Security Officer) are working on our SOGs for response to workplace violence incidents. Though we can't address every scenario a Security Officer can be faced with, we do need to establish guidelines on how to handle an incident based on major factors.
We are protecting a population in excess of two thousand in a secure scientific/industrial environment.
As I see it, there are two basic modes to operate in - Evacuate and Protect-In-Place. Each has its place according to the situation and when applied incorrectly can be disastrous.
Does anyone have an opinion on the matter of Evacuation v Protect-In-Place? What factors would drive you in either direction?
>> I recognize these two basic response formats do not apply in every case and both may apply to some.
