Tragic Lesson for Security Officer - Life Sentence
🚨 Attention SIS Members: A Tragic Lesson in Security and Use of Force 🚨
The recent incident involving security guard Logan Gimbel and the fatal shooting of Freddy Nelson at the Delta Park Center in North Portland serves as a sobering reminder of the critical importance of proper training, de-escalation techniques, and the judicious use of force in our line of work.
While the legal proceedings will determine the outcome of this case, with Gimbel's lawyer claiming self-defense, we must take this opportunity to reflect on our own practices and ensure that we are fully prepared to handle potentially volatile situations without letting them spiral out of control.
As security professionals, our primary goal is to maintain the safety and security of the properties we protect and the people within them. However, we must never lose sight of our actions carrying immense responsibility and can have life-altering consequences.
To avoid finding ourselves in a situation where we get in over our heads for absolutely nothing, consider the following:
- 🎓 Prioritize comprehensive training in conflict resolution, de-escalation, and the appropriate use of force
- 🧘♂️ Practice patience and restraint when confronting trespassers or other individuals who may be uncooperative.
- 📞 Never hesitate to call for backup or involve law enforcement when a situation threatens to escalate beyond your control.
- 📋 Thoroughly document all incidents and interactions to ensure transparency and accountability.
- 🤝 Foster open communication with your team and supervisors to discuss challenges, concerns, and best practices.
Remember, no property or situation is worth jeopardizing your life, the lives of others, or your career. You can effectively serve and protect by staying level-headed, relying on your training, and prioritizing de-escalation while minimizing the risk of tragic outcomes.
Let this incident serve as a cautionary tale and a catalyst for reflection and growth within our community. Together, we can work towards a safer, more responsible, and more professional security industry.
