Hospital security services & healthcare protection
Reception in emergency rooms, security in hospitals and care facilities, protection for medical staff — with de-escalation and psychiatric awareness training.
Overview
Hospital security services & healthcare protection
Hospitals, emergency rooms and care facilities have reported sharply increasing assault figures against medical staff in recent years. ERs are high-frequency sites with intoxicated and psychiatrically distressed patients, care facilities struggle with dementia-related conflicts and personal-belongings theft, practices need tiered protection for advisory and waiting areas.
Sekuris staffs healthcare with security officers trained for medical contexts: de-escalation, handling psychiatrically ill patients, first aid and data protection awareness are standard. We work hand in hand with nursing leadership, hospital hygiene and hospital IT.
Risks we address
Typical risks in healthcare
- 01
Assaults in emergency rooms
ERs report increasing assaults — intoxicated, drug-induced or psychiatric acute situations. Sekuris officers with medical de-escalation training relieve medical staff and secure the treatment process.
- 02
Theft in care facilities
Care facilities struggle with theft of resident property and clinical materials. Structured patrols, access control and incident documentation reduce risk for residents and staff.
- 03
Security on psychiatric wards
Psychiatric wards need staff with psychiatric awareness and close coordination with nursing and medical services. Sekuris officers are trained in PMG-compliant escort and fixation observation.
- 04
Protection of practices and outpatient centres
Doctors' practices and outpatient medical centres in city locations are increasingly targets of burglary (controlled-substance theft, BtM cabinet). Alarm response, patrol and reception during consulting hours prevent damage.
Regulation
Regulatory framework
Healthcare security follows §34a GewO, complemented by the German Patients' Rights Act, GDPR data protection and medical confidentiality (§203 StGB), hygiene requirements under the Infection Protection Act (IfSG) and where applicable the Narcotics Act (BtMG) for practices and pharmacies. Hospitals may be KRITIS-relevant.
