New Years Proves Deadly For Security 6 Dead, 17 Wounded
The sad reality of 2008 is hard to take. After we reviewed all of the news reports and other data that we have recieved at the offices of The National Association of Private Officers we must conclude that the 24 hours of New Years was seriously dangerous for private security.
We now know that 6 private officers were killed in the line of duty, 4 others were shot, 2 were stabbed and 11 others recieved broken bones, broken ribs and concussions while trying to do their job.
2 officers was killed at a private party in Indianapolis Indiana 3 others were shot
1 was killed during an assault in El Paso TX
1 was killed in Miami Gardens Florida
1 was killed interrupting a burglary at a car dealership in Albany New York
1 officer was killed while on patrol duty in Michigan
2 other security officers recieved broken ribs and other injuries during a melee at a Holiday Inn in Elgin IL, 9 people were arrested.
2 security officers were stabbed in Texas and Idaho
1 security officer was shot in Colorado
Numerous other private officers were injured while working nightclub/bar security in California, New Mexico, Connecticut and Massachussetts.
We are noticing a serious increase of injuries and deaths of security officers working nightclubs and private parties and we are very concerned with these statistics.
If you are a security officer, please wear a vest if you have one, don't approach armed suspects alone or unarmed, be sure that you have back-up when facing potentially dangerous situations.
Let's pray that this trend does not continue this year!
