Improving the Security of United States Air Force Medical Facilities.
Abstract
Statement of Problem: The absence of adequate security in Air Force medical facilities may be resulting in the loss of substantial amounts of government supplies and equipment through pilferage and theft, and, in some cases, exposing members of the Air Force community (medical facility patients, staff and visitors) to unnecessarily high risks of criminal victimization. Sources of Data: (1) Civilian hospital security and related industrial security literature; (2) Official documents of the United States Air Force, Army, Navy and Veterans Administration; and (3) Visits to selected military installations and medical facilities, and interviews with military hospital administrators and security officials. Conclusions Reached: The nature and scope of security problems in Air Force medical facilities are sufficient to warrant special attention and corrective action by Air Force policy makers. The recommendations presented in the thesis, if adopted, will help policy makers to better define and subsequently solve the security problems which exist in USAF medical facilities. (Author)
