Emergency Room Security: A Comprehensive Approach from Valentis

1. Managing Entry: Controlled Access and Screening

Limiting access to critical areas is one of the most effective ways to protect both patients and healthcare teams. Valentis integrates layered access control with visitor vetting and officer oversight to ensure emergency departments aren’t left exposed to unnecessary risk. 

Our officers are positioned to manage movement throughout ER entryways, waiting areas, ambulance bays, and behavioral health zones. With secure badging systems and defined visitor policies, we help hospitals keep sensitive care areas insulated from unauthorized intrusion. 

2. human Trafficking & Awareness

The Human Trafficking Awareness for Healthcare Emergency Departments training 

is designed to deliver critical information about improving awareness to human 

trafficking specifically to workers in the front lines who interact with victims. The 

course discusses the various aspects of human trafficking, what to recognize, & 

how to assist victims if they are patients. We use an interactive training module 

to advance the discussion so participants can use the information presented to 

update their standard operating procedures & expand the training internally. 

3. Active Shooter Preparation: Real-Time Threat Response

Active threats within a hospital demand swift coordination and an immediate shift from access control to survival-focused protocols. Valentis prepares emergency departments for active shooter situations by developing: 

• Site-specific lockdown plans that secure hallways, trauma bays, and egress routes 

• “Secure, preserve, fight” training frameworks for ER staff and support teams 

• Integrated alert systems connecting officers, staff, and law enforcement via duress buttons and encrypted communications 

• Joint drills involving EMS, hospital leadership, and security to simulate real-world response. 

The objective is not just survival, but organized survival—where chaos is contained and help arrives with clarity. 

4. Technology That Connects the Dots

Security isn’t just physical—it’s operational. Valentis deploys integrated monitoring systems that unite surveillance, access control, alarm notification, and officer positioning into a single operational view. Whether it’s a sudden outburst in triage or a coordinated lockdown for a missing infant, everything is visible and actionable in real time.

5. Officer Expertise That Adapts to Clinical Realities

. Our officers aren’t generic hires—they’re selected and equipped to perform in medical environments. From managing aggressive behavior to guiding emergency evacuations, they understand the rhythms and responsibilities of hospital life. Their training reflects the unpredictable nature of healthcare, and their professionalism aligns with the standards expected by medical staff and patients alike.
