When Observe and Report is Not Ok

In this compelling critique, we examine the state of corporate security in America, using Allied Universal Security as a case study. A shocking incident, wherein security officers allegedly stood by during an assault, and a broader discussion about the 'observe and report' ethos prevalent in modern, big corporate security. We raise challenging questions about the balance between company policy, personal responsibility, and moral duty, and suggest that an over-reliance on policy may be eroding the humanity and effectiveness of corporate security. The video concludes with a call for a new generation of security professionals willing to act heroically and prudently, even in the face of danger.
