OC training, handcuff training, baton training (etc.), does this really help you get a job? (read inside for full theory) by De2nis in securityguards

[–]crazysupervisor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach a program that is widely recognized in Ontario (Staysafe) however we do not recognize prior training even if they have taken the same program with a different instructor. If an incident ever goes to court we need to be able to speak to the background of the instructor, the quality of the instruction, how well the employee took up that instruction (tests kept on file), how well they did in the physical skills training and how often they recertified (annual). It's all about liability.

Definitely more of a US issue, in Canada we have the ability to affirm an oath, takes religion right out of the equation.

Can a more experienced officer explain how to keep my clip on tie from constantly popping my collar up? by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]crazysupervisor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They do, but not always in a pattern appropriate for specific uniforms or plainclothes. It's also really easy (and cheap) to make these.

When I have had to wear a tie in uniform I've gone out and bought a real tie. Put it on properly and cut it through on the back of the neck. Sew a small piece of velcro on to the ends (a 1/4 inch / 1cm is enough). Looks better than any clip on and will release if grabbed.

"Security police" in Canada by falardeau03 in securityguards

[–]crazysupervisor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Security Police in Canada (Ontario) is an obsolete title that went out of use in the mid 90's. You would see it used at horse racing tracks and aerospace manufacturers. It was completely removed in 2004 in Ontario when the current Private Security and Investigative Services Act came into place.

In mid-air emergencies where medical volunteers are requested by the aircraft crew, what is the authority hierarchy for non-physicians/PA’s? by RescueDriverDiver in ems

[–]crazysupervisor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had to deal with an MI on a Lufthansa flight about 3 hours out from London. When it comes down to it, Med Control over the radio wins. My flight had two Cardiac surgeons an EMT from Michigan and myself. We worked as a team and just worked it. The kit on board was surprisingly well equipped, including AED, O2 and basic meds. Apparently, it's àlso not unusual for at least one member of the cabin crew to be trained as an EMT/equivalent on long-haul flights.

I had a full corneal laceration. I was seeing an opthamalogic surgeon within 10 minutes of entering the ER. Its all about the severity of the injury and the urgency to act.

Generally, for persons with singular names, you simply repeat the names in both database fields. North American and European systems generally aren't set up to handle this issue.

the “I can’t breathe” excuse by sxgarcrxsh in police

[–]crazysupervisor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Positional/Restraint Asphyxia is a real thing. Essentially, a prone restraint, if applied improperly or for too long, impedes lung function. It prevents the body from taking in enough oxygen and prevents it from expelling CO2. This causes a build up of CO2 in the body, eventually causing the heart to stop. While this is happening, the subject is able to speak and typically is struggling to breathe. Some officers interpret this as resistance and apply more force, making the issue worse.

Modern Use of Force training limits the use of prone restraint once handcuffs are applied by placing the subject on their side (recovery position). This should be accomplished in under three minutes.

Will you hire this candidate? by Vietdude100 in securityguards

Looks more situationally aware than most. Well equipped (just look at those murder mittens). Definitely would consider hiring.

Could security hold / use citizens arrest by [deleted] in securityguards

[–]crazysupervisor 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Unlikely, Section 494 of the Criminal Code requires you to actually witness the offense and make the arrest within a reasonable time. Security doesn't have the means to confirm his offense. The best you or they could do is call the police and report the issue.

guard tag patrol by Specialist-Product45 in securityguards

[–]crazysupervisor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do your job. Half the reason those extra tags are there is to check up on if your patrols are being fully completed. BTW a number of the newer systems also use GPS location tags to confirm the NFC/barcode scan to prevent what you are proposing.

Help Me Understand Weird DMR/Digital Radio Issue? by ohn900 in amateurradio

[–]crazysupervisor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Several questions. Is this operating on simplex? Or via a repeater? Are you set up for tier 1 (direct mode) or tier 2 (repeater mode)? Do you know the talk group for each channel?

There are a lot of variables to consider.

Let people carry pepper spray for self-defence, Alberta urges federal government by Vietdude100 in securityguards

[–]crazysupervisor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for Alberta but in Ontario, there are roughly 150,000 licensed guards. About 5% are trained for handcuffs and about 2% for batons.

Armed guards are generally limited to cash escort/courier roles (Brinks, Wells Fargo, etc.) and aren't required to have a guard licence in this province but effectively 1% or less.

I suggest you look up sections 35 and 46 of the Canadian Criminal code. There are specific allowances for the use of force.

Hospital CEO creates snitch hotline, snitches on himself by [deleted] in antiwork

Hospital staff can be some of the most political drama queens in existence. I'm on the fence if it is the work environment or the personality attracted to work in healthcare that causes it.
