Avoiding the Pitfall of Failing to Train Hospital Security Staff – continued from page 17
by the misperception that specialty training is a ―nice to have‖ versus a mandatory element of an effective training program. In order to avoid costly mistakes, litigation, and inappropriate or untimely intervention in situations, it is critical that hospitals invest time and money into the proper training of security officers. Not only is initial training necessary, but also ongoing and continuous training results in a high return-on-investment.

Early in 2013, Countermeasure Consulting Group, LLC – a team of Active Shooter Defense Experts, Chris Grollnek, Dave ―Bo‖ Bolgiano, Dr. Morgan Banks and Dave Rodriguez partnered with Parroco Television to produce a training video for sale to corporate and scholastic America. After sincere reflection on the scope and nature of this terrible scourge, both companies felt that it was more important to get the message out to as many people as possible without regard to profit. After the most recent shooting at the Washington Navy Yard on September 16th, Parroco rushed to place the final edits into Superstes (Latin for ―Survival‖), which is now available for network release. This video—compressed into 24.5 minutes of captivating and effective training — is perfectly tailored for a 30-minute television time slot.
Countermeasure Consulting Group, LLC, led by Chris Grollnek, a former Marine staff noncommissioned officer and police SWAT member who has personally been involved in active shooter incidents, is comprised of all former police officers and/or members of the military‘s special operations community.

View the video Developing a Threat Assessment Team
The University of North Carolina (UNC) at Charlotte has created a model that implements a multi-disciplinary and strategic approach to the assessment and management of situations involving students. UNC Charlotte‘s Campus Behavioral Intervention Team has been involved in numerous cases since its inception in 2008 following a recommendation from the UNC presidential task force — with support from other administrators — that campuses create a system-wide approach to campus threat assessment.
At UNC Charlotte, an all-encompassing NinerCare Network was also created to ensure the recommendations and/or initiation of appropriate intervention strategies, as well as the training and development of awareness of behavioral concerns and other matters to the campus community.
A reporting system that is used by administrators, faculty, law enforcement and other campus officials provides information on student conduct and is generally the reporting mechanism that creates the discussion surrounding the signs and symptoms for students of concern. Those signs include erratic, disruptive, violent, harmful or concerning behavior. While much of this behavior can be attributed to other causes, our team will focus on what we believe needs intervention first and how that can be most productive.
The NinerCare network is designed to bring together information in order to identify students who have demonstrated concerning behavior; investigate reports to determine if an identified student poses a potential threat to self, others or the UNC Charlotte community; and develop an objective, coordinated action plan to collect information, assist the student and protect the university community.
