Home Units

 

U Health Security provide services 24/7/365. Within the division, there are four units that work to serve members of the U community, including students, employees, visitors, and patients.

Uniformed Division

Our Uniformed Division works assigned posts in addition to proactive rounding to provide as much visibility and interaction as possible. They receive six weeks of training to include Non-Violent Crisis Intervention (CPI), Healthcare Defensive Tactics System, report writing, hospital compliance, and customer service. Adhering to the International Association of Healthcare Safety and Security guidelines and standards ensures that our staff receive the most up-to-date and effective training.

Security Investigations Unit (SIU)

The Security Investigations Unit works diligently to stay abreast of any case of disruptive behavior from patients and visitors. Relationship building and education have been key to seeing their full potential realized. Nurses and SIU officers work closely to balance patient care with staff safety.

Risk Assessment Team

The Risk Assessment Team performs site assessments of entire buildings, units, and workspaces to ensure that environmental design enhances safety. Their input is appreciated in planning and remodeling and they are often at the table with architects and building designers to provide their valuable insight.

Training & Education

The Training Unit works to provide quality training for security staff to ensure they have the tools and knowledge to provide a high level of safety and security services. Another equally important component is outreach to clinical and non-clinical hospital staff with an emphasis on workplace violence prevention, de-escalation techniques, and personal safety.
