This research project has been needed for a long time.  That single security officer working alone at a post, or a small team working a shift has insights that management can only assume.  Now evidence has been collected and put into a wonderful read collecting vital demographic data and issues facing first responding security.  An important report, performed by an academic, of our industry.
