In most cases coincide that the services where people suffers more attacks are the ones where you stay in touch with the public, and besides, where this service operates in a festive enviroinment like football matches, festivals or in transports like trains etc. where people comes back from parties, but there’s also places where thois festive “aura” is not so predominant like hospitals or health centers.
And like i said a while ago, in sunday early morning, just at the time that young people come back from a full party night and which pyschophysic status is usually drunk plus the drugs consumptions.

The underground and trains are the usual spots of agressions to the security personnel, being a high percentage when precisely, the point of having security personnel is to avoid these kinds of incidents.
The reasons to the agressions to the security personnel:
– Making a deep analysis, not only the security personnel is being victim of agressions, the police deparments from every public administrations are equally suffering agressions, besides they have the condition of authority agents, they are not respected and the private security eprsonnel, that do not have this condition, are suffering even more agressions and lack of respect.
To this we have to add the lack of means for equiping the security personnel. While the State Security Forces and Corps have anticutting gloves, kevlars, extendible defenses, etc., the security personnel keeps being equipped with rubber defenses and a shackles, being themselves the ones that sometimes invest with their own money in better defense equipment.
Neither the uniform is usually the most adequate for this kind of services, being shirts and straight trousers the choice for security companies.
How can we pretend to give security to the citizens if the persons in charge of protecting are not protected themselves.
In Spain, the politicians keep thinking that the presence of only a security guard or a policeman is enough to be respected and give security, but nowdays is an old idea of someone that don’t know anything about reality.
To give security the first thing to do is to give judicial protection the one that has to take this role, doesn’t matter if in private or public security. Second to establish a security plan for the places to protect, you cannot think that presence is the only thing you can rely on, even that is important, it cannot be the only resource.
Third, train the personnel that is in charge of this service in a specific place, more important if there’s contact with people in small areas like the public transport.
Lastly, equipo the personnel with adecuate equipment to give this service effciently and not only with a “cool uniform” that is not efficient while operating, something that the Security forces and Corps stopped using long time ago for street service,
From here we can begin to give a security service in optimum conditions, but if we keep unprotecting the security personnel, the ones that suffer from agressions to the security personnel, we dont have an adapted operative plan to the real needs of the service and for the last, we dont have the resources of protection for them, so we can’t spect miracles to these situations like the described in the first lines, and the ones that for disgrace, are more common in a generation with an absolute lack fo respect to the everything that represents the authority and order.
The main reason of security is the prevention and for that to work, must react with anticipation and not to wait for facts to happen and then regret the incidents to adpot the new necessities.
