An unarmed security guard was on duty at the San Bernardino social services center where terrorism suspects Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik drove up in a black SUV, exited the vehicle equipped with masks and rifles and killed 14 people at an office holiday party, a spokeswoman for the center said Friday.
Leeza Hoyt, a public relations specialist hired by the Inland Regional Center — which serves people with developmental disabilities — said she was not sure where the guard was when Farook and Malik arrived and carried out their assault. The guard, she said, typically “roves the parking lot” of the sprawling complex.
The ineffectiveness of the unarmed guard in stopping the San Bernardino assault could revive the ongoing debate over expanding armed security, be it private guards or police officers, to public places in order to cope with the wave of mass shootings in the U.S. over the past several years.
On December 2, 2015, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, a married couple, shot and killed 14 people and injured 21 others at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California, United States. They targeted a San Bernardino County Department of Public Health training event and holiday party with about 80 employees in attendance at the rented auditorium. Before the shooting, Syed Farook had attended the event as an employee. After the shooting, the couple fled in an SUV. About four hours later, the two perpetrators were pursued in their vehicle by police and killed during an exchange of gunfire. The FBI began a counter-terrorism investigation because of the equipment used, the couples’ recent travel to the Middle East, and the discovery of a Facebook post attributed to Malik in which she pledged allegiance (Bay’ah) to the caliph of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), close to time of the shooting. The attack was the second-deadliest mass shooting in California after the 1984 San Ysidro McDonald’s massacre, and the deadliest in the U.S. since the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

The Long Island Training Center is a state of the art facility specializing in training courses geared to the serious security professional. At the Long Island Training Center our certified instructors offer students security guard training from basic general topics to more specialized and in-depth classes. All courses are taught by experienced instructors who have many years of experience in the field of security, as well as extensive experience teaching security guard, defensive driving, CPR/First Aid and public safety courses; courses developed to meet or exceed requirements and expectations.
In Many States, Security Guards Get Scant Training, Oversight
Forty-one states, plus the District of Columbia, license security officers, but requirements vary greatly from state to state.
At an Iowa mall, a security guard allegedly shot and killed a woman who worked at a children’s museum there. At a Kentucky distillery, a security guard accepted money from thieves to look the other way while they stole more than $100,000 in expensive whiskey. And in a Virginia hospital, a 64-year-old man suffered a serious head injury and later died after a violent altercation with a security guard.
Recent incidents like these have drawn fresh attention to the screening, training and state oversight of private security officers, and have prompted some legislators to push for stricter regulation—efforts that have been largely unsuccessful this year.
“We’ve got to feel comfortable that people who have a badge on are, in fact, trained—and trained well,” said Michigan state Sen. Darwin Booher, a Republican who sponsored a set of bills, still pending, that would update regulations on security guards in the state.
About 90 bills were introduced in state legislatures this year dealing with the licensing and training of security officers or requirements for security companies, according to Steve Amitay, director of the National Association of Security Companies (NASCO), an industry group. In recent years, similar numbers of measures have been proposed. None of this year’s bills that would have substantially toughened state requirements was enacted, Amitay said.
“In some of these states, it’s a very anti-regulatory environment and they think any additional regulation on businesses or people performing services is bad,” Amitay said. “With other folks, it’s a resource issue. For the state to start regulating an industry and requiring licenses requires initial appropriations and startup costs.”

It’s a question the average person would probably struggle with: What’s the difference between a campus police officer and a traditional police officer?
There are some people out there that liken campus police officers to security guards and others who don’t see any differences between campus police and traditional police. Both opinions are deeply flawed.
The reality is that although many campus police are former police officers, the roles that both types of police play in their respective communities vary greatly. In turn their training, responsibilities and mindsets are often at odds.
Campus Safety created this slideshow to illustrate a few of these differences.
