Hospital Security Services in Pennsylvania

Extrity Security Services provides hospital security services in Pennsylvania that pair uniformed healthcare officers with licensed private detective capability, so a shift incident and the investigation that follows stay under one roof. We staff trauma centers, behavioral health units, outpatient campuses and regional medical networks across Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and the Lehigh Valley. The result is faster case resolution and cleaner documentation when administrators, risk management or counsel need answers.

Hospital Security Services We Provide

• Emergency department and trauma center details, including armed and unarmed posts staffed by Act 235 certified officers where your policy calls for it.
• Behavioral health and one-to-one patient watch support coordinated with clinical staff and documented for the chart.
• Workplace violence prevention programs: threat assessment teams, staff training, panic alarm response drills and post-incident review.
• Perimeter and access control monitoring for parking structures, loading docks, helipads, ambulance bays and after-hours entrances.
• Visitor screening and lockdown response, including weapons detection support and infant security code drills.
• Executive and physician escort services for late departures or contested employment situations.

The Private Detective Advantage

Most guard companies stop at the incident report. Extrity holds a Pennsylvania private detective license under the Private Detective Act of 1953, which lets our investigators carry a matter forward instead of handing it off to a third party.

That dual capability is what hospital administrators use us for most often:

• Internal theft and drug diversion investigations involving narcotics, supply inventory, patient valuables or billing irregularities.
• Employee threat assessments when a termination, restraining order or domestic situation could follow a staff member onto campus.
• Pre-employment and vendor background verification for contractors with unescorted access to clinical areas.
• High-risk security audits that document gaps in camera coverage, key control, badge auditing and after-hours egress before an accreditation survey.

Investigative findings arrive in a format that holds up for HR, insurers and outside counsel. Chain of custody, timestamped statements and photographic evidence are handled to an evidentiary standard from the first interview.

Compliance and Accreditation Support

Hospitals are surveyed against the environment of care and workplace violence prevention requirements, and security documentation is part of that record. The Joint Commission expects facilities to maintain a defined workplace violence prevention program with reporting, analysis and follow-up.

We supply the shift logs, incident trend reports and annual risk assessment materials your safety committee needs. Most clients receive a monthly analytics summary showing incident type, location, time of day and response interval.
