Security Guards For Hospitals
Emergency Security Guards
ER wait times are spiking and tempers are short. One call to get emergency security guards for hospitals tonight can stop a violent outbreak before it hits the news.
When you get emergency security guards you receive officers trained in de escalation, restraint protocols, and HIPAA compliance. Plus, Joint Commission surveys go smoother when they see 24/7 coverage on the books, so acting fast protects both patients and accreditation.
What Hospital Guards Actually Do On Shift
They patrol triage every 20 minutes, secure the narcotics cabinet, and escort nurses to remote parking decks. (They also calm aggressive visitors, which keeps care teams focused on saving lives.) Guards monitor entry points after visiting hours and issue temporary badges so no one wanders into NICU. And when a code silver is called, they respond within 90 seconds with non violent restraint training that reduces injuries and lawsuits.
How Fast Can Guards Arrive?
Most firms can deploy licensed officers within 4 hours of your call.
A supervisor reviews floor plans, identifies high risk zones like psych holding, and radios a team equipped with panic buttons. You will receive a guard certified in CPI restraint and blood borne pathogen safety, so compliance is covered from minute one. Even if its a midnight surge, we can have boots in the ER before the next shift change.
Typical Cost Range For Hospital Emergency Coverage
Unarmed guards run $28 to $42 per hour, armed $48 to $65. A 12 hour overnight shift totals $336 to $780 depending on city and risk level. Emergency deployment adds 15 %, but multi night bundles knock 10 % off. Ask for flat nightly rates if you need predictable budgeting through flu season.
Departments That See Immediate ROI
ERs report assaults drop 45 % within 30 days. Psych units avoid elopements that cost $20k in search efforts. Labor and delivery keeps unauthorized visitors out, protecting newborns and avoiding PR nightmares. Even small urgent care clinics find the guard expense pays for itself after preventing one workplace violence claim that would have spiked insurance premiums 25 %.
