Security Issues in Daily Life
Introduction
Security issues in our day-to-day lives encompass many areas and establishments; from our schools to our grocery stores and our hospitals. Every establishment visited has some sort of security and each has a different level. In some cases the security levels are high and in others, close to non-existent.

These are law enforcement trained individuals who also provide training to students on school safety such as walking to and from school, what to do if they see a stranger on campus and what to do if approached by a stranger.
Local Hospital - Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital
