New York legislation would give Bassett Healthcare Network’s security officers peace officer status, according to an article on the Times Telegram website.
The system's security staff will be given certain powers while on hospital and clinic grounds or immediately adjacent properties.
The legislation cites the need for Bassett’s security personnel to be able to maximally respond to emergencies.
Such emergencies may include unauthorized individuals seeking narcotics, disruptive actions by people experiencing behavioral health issues and individuals threatening to harm others.
