Revised IAHSS Guideline Open for Public Comment
02.02.05 Security Officer Use of Physical Force 
 
This guideline developed by the IAHSS Council on Guidelines contains recommendations for how Healthcare Facilities (HCFs) should develop policies which identify situations where security is called upon and permitted to use force. These policies should set out approved techniques and authorized defensive equipment for use when force may be deployed. Use of Force reports should be required.
 
We are asking IAHSS members for their input on any suggested alternative language. Please submit your feedback no later than Thursday, August 26, 2021.
