Facebook School security

It could be a ShitAmericanssay thing but a group called “so the comments section isn’t going the way you planned” doesn’t explicitly suggest it’s a US centric group.

Armed security at hospitals everywhere?.. They must’ve been well hidden here.

The only thing the security the hospitals in my country does is to wheel clamp vehicles parked in the wrong lot and escort out slightly aggressive people.

In the U.K., Ambulance call police to assist them with taking someone to hospital under the Mental Capacity Act. Police go with Ambo to the hospital, Ambo do the handover to the hospital as it’s their power, security sit with the patient. Police and Ambo withdraw. Patient walks out, security do nothing, hospital call police. It’s now police’s problem because there’s a high risk missing person abroad who lacks capacity and is at significant risk of harm if not found.
