I've only put in 16 hours so far but I've already had to assist in detaining two 51-50's. Whats the job? Security Officer in a somewhat upscale hospital. Grave shift. They don't allow firearms either concealed or open carry, as a company policy. They frown on carrying pepper spray (for obvious patient heath issues) but you could do it after a certified training class and a little bit of sweet talking. The baton or nightstick are not allowed either. The main idea is make the patients feel like they have nothing to worry about. Of course, I'm sure lots of folks would say they should feel more secure if had weapons, and I agree. However, lots of the people we deal with are likely anti-gun and the other half are crazy or too old to even comprehend.
Anyway, I'm looking for some alternative defensive tools to aid in my own personal security while keeping a low profile and won't seriously injure the patients. I keep a little S&W tactical folder in my cargo pocket, but I see that as a last resort. I carry a surefire, a set of maybe 20 larger keys, and a radio. Handcuffs coming soon as soon as I do their training class.
