The safety of patrons and staff is a top priority for all libraries, with library directors and managers striving to maintain a welcoming and secure environment for all who wish to make use of the space. To address safety and security concerns, it is common for public libraries to work with local law enforcement or to hire some combination of professional security guards or off-duty police officers. During this webinar, you will gain a better understanding of the role and responsibilities of security personnel and what to look out for if you to choose to contract with a security guard company.
