Chronicles 5: violence against security professionals

Reporting violence against security professionals that might have been prevented by training and tools.

In February 2024, an unnamed 58 year old security guard was patrolling a parkade when they were attacked by and fought with Bezhani SARVAR. The guard was transported to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. SARVAR was charged with other offences, but not manslaughter because the cause of death was inconclusive.

Security professionals are literally expected to engage in challenging, dangerous, and litigious situations. They are unprepared in terms of their training, and in the tools they carry. Training might have helped deflect the attack.
