1995 IAHSS salary, equipment, staffing and uniform survey

This second part of the 1995 IAHSS annual Crime Survey provides information on security director salaries, security department staffing, and types of equipment and uniforms employed. Factors that may or may not affect salaries are explored--including the influence of hospital size and the differences between proprietary and contract status. Differences in the size of security staffs by bed size and the relative use of police officers in security are covered. The survey also reports on trends in the type of security equipment used by hospitals--including guns, stun guns, pepper spray, and Mace. New data on the use of police uniforms or blazers by security personnel are presented. Ten charts are included.
