I suggest the local police should be your first call. They will provide training or names of trainers they have worked with, or the names of off duty officers who like to pick up extra hours. Those can work well, particularly as often they can show up in uniform. Don Bosman From: michlib-l-bounces@mail.mcls.org [mailto:michlib-l-bounces@mail.mcls.org] On Behalf Of Steven Smith Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2014 10:38 AM To: michlib-l@mail.mcls.org Subject: [Michlib-l] Library Security Personel Training We were investigating to see if there were any good avenues to provide effective security guard training. Has anyone else found an outside company / personal trainer that provides this kind of service? If so, how effective were they at providing the kind of training appropriate for a library? Any experience you could share would be helpful and I thank you all in advance. Steven F.
