Private Security Company Advocates for Security Officers' Safety

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Jan. 1, 2024 - PRLog -- As 2023 comes to a close, Blue Raven Inc., a leader in the private security sector, brings attention to a critical and often overlooked issue: the rising fatalities among security officers on duty. This year alone, the reported deaths have reached fifty-five, a number that is suspected to be an underestimation.

In contrast to law enforcement officers, private security officers' deaths on duty are difficult to track due to the lack of a centralized reporting system and varied reporting practices across private security firms.

Security officers face risks due to their work in high-conflict areas, visibility as authority figures, and sometimes being unarmed in situations requiring armed security. Additionally, factors such as inadequate training, understaffing, and societal violence contribute to their vulnerability.

Michael J. Niner, CEO of Blue Raven Inc., passionately advocates for this cause, stating, "The ongoing risks that our security officers face everyday demand more than just passive acknowledgment. It's time for us to take decisive action. We need to enhance their protection, provide comprehensive training, offer proper support and advocate for the recognition of their crucial role in maintaining public safety."

Blue Raven Inc. believes it is the moral and legal obligation of companies to protect their security officers, extending beyond compliance, to ensuring their physical and psychological well-being. This duty is not just a legal obligation but a recognition of their crucial role in ensuring public safety and contributing to society.

Blue Raven Inc. upholds the philosophy 'Where there's a will, there's a way,' reflecting their commitment to their employees' well-being and professional growth. This includes offering competitive wages, continuous training, proper equipment, and robust support systems.

As we all look towards 2024, Blue Raven Inc. urges the security industry and related stakeholders to join them in enhancing the safety of security officers. Through collective efforts, we should aim to minimize risks and create a safer environment for these vital members of the workforce.
