Security Systems Technologies and Innovation: A Comprehensive History of Advances in the Industry examines the past 50 years and the expansion of the security industry, security technologies, and the field as a whole. An overarching theme throughout is that advances in security technology run parallel to developments in computers and telecommunications. The coverage emphasizes that the foundational “nuts and bolts” intent and tactics that preceded today’s electronics don’t change, although the methodologies, challenges, and threats do morph and change over time. This encyclopedic work begins in the 1970s with a foundational background of the monopoly‑controlled industry at the time, which relied on mechanical devices and people. Understanding these precepts not only puts present technology in perspective but also equips readers with the tools to creatively approach unique security problems. This reflects the reality that the true role of any security decision‑maker is to provide situational awareness and decision‑making, since almost every security problem is nuanced and context‑based. Out‑of‑the‑box solutions – including technology – though popular, are rarely the answer. Security is about protecting people and property from highly motivated criminals – a constant chess game in which only one side follows the rules. Rapid technological developments in the last 30 years, in particular, ushered in an unprecedented period of growth. Over this time, the industry developed into a goliath, evolving in step with the transformation of the American criminal justice and law enforcement communities, with almost complete technical revision and advancement every three to five years. Concurrently, countering terror threats began to supersede the industry’s original focus on trespassers and property theft. This book chronicles this ever‑changing corporate, technological, and threat‑based landscape. This book proves fascinating reading, providing insight to those currently in the field and offering a glimpse of future security threats, and those current and emerging technologies that will shape the next 50 years of the industry.

Safety and security are important issues both for hospital staff members and their patients. Written by healthcare gurus, Charles Schnabolk and Ben Scaglione, this book is an expose on the current state of healthcare and the dangers and risks associated with being a patient navigating within the healthcare environment. The authors address the risks and threats hospitals and healthcare staff endure while treating patients and working in the healthcare field. They discuss the potential hazards associated with patient treatment and care. From wrong-site surgeries to acquired infections, the book includes some of the top patient risks as outlined by the Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals and discusses other less acknowledged risks, ones not immediately known to the public, like loss of personal property, sexual assault, and the physical as well as mental abuse that patients may suffer while housed or visiting within the healthcare environment. Also included is a discussion of newer hazards brought on by current technology like cyber security. The authors describe the challenges hospitals have associated with hackers and staff who wish to destroy or steal medical records. Hackers who hold hospitals hostage and seek monies in return for stolen access to medical records captured during a hack into the hospital’s virtual network. Staff who steal medical record information which they look to sell to the highest bidder on the dark web for use in compromising the financial information of those patients who use hospital’s services. Most hospitals in the U.S. have a long list of procedures, rules, and regulations to keep staff and patients safe including, but not limited to staff assaults, abuse, and bullying. The violence staff has endured while working within hospitals, clinics, and the Emergency Department has been increasing over the years peaking post- Covid-19 to levels never seen before. The book discusses the violence that has plagued healthcare for decades. According to the Joint Commission, healthcare workers are around four times as likely to experience workplace violence compared to workers in other industries. Talking about the unknown abuse that occurs between nurses and doctors in the care of patients during surgeries and medical treatments. The authors address these issues and many more while providing current information on each topic and suggesting resolutions and mitigation strategies that assist in reducing the potential for the identified risks from occurring again.
