Re:         Member Survey – Are private security officers being attacked more frequently?

Date:      August 15, 2007

Due to an increase in assaults and attacks on private security officers in the Palm Springs area, local television station KESQ-TV has been highlighting the recent trend.  As a result, CALSAGA wants to know whether members believe this is a growing problem throughout California, or just isolated to the Palm Springs area.

CALSAGA has considered sponsoring legislation to increase penalties for attacking a security officer, and as a possible interim, to require BSIS to keep statistics to show whether attacks on private security are increasing.

Thank you in advance for your participation.
