Can Workplace Violence Be Prevented By Psychological Testing

Having worked investigations involving workplace violence in corporate American and also sexual harassment / assault in both adult & juvenile corrections… I often hear people blame the company and or agency. They say things like shouldn’t the company/agency have psychologically tested the bad guy before hiring them? Or… if they did test them, people think the company/agency goofed up.

In my experience, it’s impossible to detect every psycho… harasser… violent person… criminal, etc. via testing. It’s impossible to prevent ALL incidents even with the very best testing strategies.

So why have a testing program? To REDUCE the # of incidents by filtering out as many potential bad guys as possible.

Remember, the purpose isn’t to REJECT every applicant who may have had a history of misconduct... but rather to calculate / predict the effect this person would have on the company if they are hired.

The three basic types of tests I’ve been exposed to are (1) Integrity tests (2) Skill and aptitude tests and (3) Personality inventories.

I recommend all employers use psychological test during the hiring process for two reasons. First, it reduces the probability of misconduct affecting the employees and/or company reputation. Second, if an incident does occur… the company legal team can show that they did everything within the scope of the law & within reason to prevent the hiring of the bad guy. Hopefully reducing or eliminating vicarious liability.

Until next time… stay safe! – Brian

Emergency Planning Basics - Security Management - Executive Protection - Casino and Nightclub Security

Too many security managers are hired without having any idea how to create Emergency Plans.

If this happened to you and you don't know where to begin, hopefully these tips will help! Remember, all plans should be in WRITING and should be frequently (quarterly) tested after being created.

Three Elements Of A Security Plan

1. Authority

2. Types Of Emergencies

 3. Plan Execution

Common Appendices:

1. Maps

2. Procedure Charts / Checklist

Give these to the front line staff / officers. Handing them SOP's & Polices are a horrible thing to have them refer to in an emergency.

3. Call Up Lists 4. Local Resource Lists 5. Mutual Aid Agreements 6. A Glossary Of Terms  

Hope that helps get you started in the right direction!

Nightclub Security Bouncer Certification Course Training – 2

The Client Can Sometimes Hurt Your Career

In June 2012, Drake & Chris Brown got into a fight with each other in a Manhattan nightclub. During the fight, each of them reportedly ordered their security teams to join in and a huge incident occurred.  Many uninvolved patrons were injured including NBA All-Star Tony Parker.

Now lawsuits are flying around… with 7 figure damages being sought. 

Many bodyguards in the industry get their jobs because they’re big, pretty tough and friends of the entertainer.  Many have never been trained.

Nightclub security and VIP protection isn’t a joke.  This isn’t a well paid gang-banger profession.  Don’t get involved with clients who will create problems for you… and potentially get you sued.

Here’s a link to a news article about the Drake – Chris Brown Fight:
