Recently our Washington Health System Security team was upgraded to a
private police force, which grants them limited arrest powers on WHS property only.
WHS Police have received a significant amount of training enabling them
to competently respond and address security calls on our campus. Each officer
completed this extensive training.
Washington Hospital has historically maintained an on-site security staff for
the protection of individuals who work, visit or are patients at our Hospital. Over
the past year, we have taken steps to qualify our staff as WHS Police in response
to the changing environment that exists in our surrounding area. Several of the
current staff members have previous law enforcement or military experience.
e additional training allows our force to respond to the sometimes difficult
requirements of the job and provide the highest possible level of safety to our
patients, visitors, staff and neighbors in the community.
