Security team prevented further serious harm
In the summer of 2024, the security team was on duty at a Newmarket hospital when a person entered the Emergency Department and began to harm themselves with a knife, just outside the doors.
The security team on-site responded swiftly and effectively. They contained the situation, managed the crowd that began to form, and were able to convince the person to surrender the knife before causing themselves or anyone else further harm. They were then able to detain the individual until police services could arrive and take over the situation.
Thank you, team!
