Medical Centers
Security

Our priority is to protect patients, staff, and visitors while ensuring a safe, professional environment where healthcare operations can continue without disruption.

L&P Global Security

Patient & Visitor Disturbances

Hospitals and clinics often face emotionally charged situations — patients in pain, families under stress, or individuals under the influence. These encounters can escalate quickly into verbal abuse, fights, or refusal to follow medical instructions. Staff are not trained for physical intervention, and disruptions can delay treatment, create liability, and put other patients at risk.

How L&P Helps:

Trained officers de-escalate conflicts before they become violent.
Maintain a calm, professional presence in ERs, waiting rooms, and high-stress areas.
Relieve medical staff of confrontational duties so they can focus on patient care.
Provide rapid reporting and documentation for legal and administrative needs.

Unauthorized Access to Sensitive Areas

Medical centers house controlled substances, expensive equipment, and confidential records. Pharmacies, operating rooms, and labs are common targets for theft or misuse. A single incident — like a stolen narcotic or compromised medical record — can lead to lawsuits, fines, or reputational damage. Many facilities struggle with unauthorized contractors or visitors bypassing front desk protocols.

How L&P Helps:

Strict enforcement of ID checks, visitor logs, and vendor verification.
Officers positioned at access points to prevent “tailgating” or unapproved entry.
Security escorts for medication deliveries, cash handling, or sensitive equipment transport.
Real-time incident reporting with photos and notes for compliance protection.

After-Hours & Emergency Room Security

Hospitals never close. At night and on weekends, low staffing levels and open-access ERs create prime opportunities for trespassing, theft, or even targeted assaults. Parking garages and lots become hotspots for loitering, break-ins, and personal safety risks to staff leaving late shifts. The lack of visible, professional security increases liability and undermines patient confidence.

How L&P Helps:

Dedicated overnight patrols for parking areas, entrances, and perimeter checks.
Officers stationed in ERs to monitor behavior, support staff, and deter aggression.
Ensure doors, windows, and restricted areas are secured after visiting hours.
Immediate escalation protocols with law enforcement for emergencies.

Top 8 Issues in Medical Center Security

Securing an active jobsite means staying ahead of potential problems. Our guards are trained to prevent:

Patient or visitor disturbances in lobbies, waiting rooms, or ERs

Unauthorized access to pharmacies, labs, or restricted areas

Theft of medical supplies, equipment, or personal belongings

Trespassing or loitering on hospital grounds after hours

Aggressive behavior toward staff or medical professionals

Unverified contractors or delivery personnel bypassing procedures

Safety hazards like poor lighting in parking areas or unsecured entry points

Liability risks from unmonitored access to patient information or controlled substances

Access Control & Patient Safety
"We had issues with unauthorized visitors walking into restricted areas. Security now monitors entrances, checks IDs, and directs patients and guests where they need to go. It’s made the facility feel much safer for both staff and patients."

- Dallas Medical Clinic

Emergency Response Support
"When situations escalated in the ER, our staff often felt overwhelmed. Having trained security on-site means incidents are handled quickly, and medical teams can focus on care instead of crowd control. It’s taken a huge weight off our shoulders."

- Fort Worth Hospital

Parking Lot & After-Hours Safety

"Employees leaving late at night used to feel uneasy walking to their cars. Since adding patrol officers in the parking lot, staff feel protected, and incidents of loitering have completely stopped. It’s improved morale and safety across the board."
