FAQ
Hospitals & Healthcare security — questions
Are your guards HIPAA-trained?+
Yes. Every guard assigned to a healthcare client signs a HIPAA confidentiality agreement and is trained on PHI handling, incident-report redaction, and patient-area access protocols.
Do you cover behavioral-health holds in the ED?+
We provide unarmed standby coverage and de-escalation support. For 5150 transport or restraint, we coordinate with clinical staff and law enforcement — we do not apply restraints.
Can you patrol multi-building medical campuses?+
Yes. A single guard or vehicle can rotate between the hospital, attached MOBs, parking structures and surface lots on a documented schedule.
Do you serve clinics and surgery centers too?+
Yes — outpatient clinics, ASCs, dialysis centers and infusion suites across Greater Sacramento. Coverage scales from after-hours lock-up to 24/7 on-site.
