Why did we create this eBook?
With the rise in incidents at hospital emergency rooms K9xfactor saw a need for better deterrent systems in hospitals. The trend of having security dogs in Europe and the East Coast United States has been increasing over the last five years. Canine security is a way to reduce the number of incidents and increase employee confidence.
This eBook will address the issue of poor training for armed guards who are not trained well enough to accurately hit their target in hostile situations. With armed guards, the liability is high: Will they shoot the wrong person? Will the gun go off accidentally? They might not be trained in how to deescalate a verbal argument and might be willing to use a gun inappropriately.
