Security Guards as Emergency First Responders
Public sector pressures have led to new partnerships between emergency responders, professionals from other fields, and community volunteers. As these collaborations expand, it’s important to understand the tasks, requirements, and challenges faced by these new resources when they act as medical first responders.
