Connected Security: How Proactive Real-Time Tech Keeps Security Workers Safe

"Security guards and law enforcement personnel are usually the first professionals to provide help in a public emergency and as a result, also experience some of the highest rates of workplace violence in any occupation."

"The problem with reactive models and solutions is that they may not react and respond quickly enough to protect the employee from harm in that situation."
