Healthcare Security – A Stepping Stone to Law Enforcement

May
6
FacebookTwitterPinterestShare this article

Healthcare Security is an excellent way to gain experience in police and law enforcement, while building your resume and enhancing your overall life experience. As a Healthcare Security Officer, no day is the same, and you may not always know what situation you will be called to act upon. This can range from dealing with people who may suffer with mental health issues, to assisting an emergency as the first responder. Our Healthcare Security Officers frequently interact with patients, their families, the public, emergency services personnel, as well as healthcare professionals. These interactions are what contribute to supporting a safe and secure environment of care. Ideal skills for a career in law enforcement.

Experience in healthcare security is highly regarded in police and law enforcement applications and can be a major differentiator for your resume.

While many of our Healthcare Security staff choose healthcare as their career path, we are extremely proud to have several Paladin Healthcare Officer’s also transition to careers in law enforcement. These careers include Healthcare Peace Officers, Corrections, CBSA, Sheriffs, RCMPA, and Municipal Policing. In fact, just last year 21% of Paladin employees were hired into law enforcement after leaving Paladin. It is also exciting to note that 2 out of 19 graduates from the Vancouver Police Department’s January 2019 class were former Paladin employees.

What’s the Paladin Difference?

Paladin offers industry-leading training and experience to help aspire individuals to achieve their career goals. We train our Security Officers using the same concepts taught by leading law enforcement agencies, and we also offer programs tailored to healthcare facilities. The knowledge we implement in our training, provides a smooth and exciting experience into the demanding needs of a career in policing.

We are currently hiring various Healthcare Security positions across Canada. If you are interested in starting your career in healthcare, or want to gain experience to prepare yourself for a career in law enforcement, apply with Paladin today.
