According to Jan Goldman, the author of "Physical Security Codes." Physical security is a social obligation for the operation of a cultural organization, for the physical safety of its staff, for the maintenance of peace for public visitors, and for the maintenance of public appearances and reputation that encourages donations, continued government funding, and self-assurance in that institution's executive and management. The supervisor of Metropolitan museum of art should require that certain physical security policies and procedures be required of all property and building users. The director of security usually suggests and drafts these policies and procedures; staffs them through such institution offices as management, and union representatives; …show more content…
It requires generous amount of time to protect the art pieces and make it difficult to steal or damage. We found someone with experience in all three: Thomas P. Campbell, Director and CEO of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Thomas to show us how he'd secure a priceless painting if money were no object. The security program he designed is comprehensive; it not only protects the work itself, but also the room it hangs in and the museum as a whole. His institution wants to provide the safest facility for visitors and workers possible. This institution wants to know when any illegal, violent, abusive or threatening behavior occurs on our premises in order to take action to prevent injury, damage, or interruption of operation, and prevention of another occurrence. The museum does not tolerate any unauthorized person to carry firearms, deadly weapons, or clearly dangerous materials on our premises, in accordance with local laws, and posts its property and facilities accordingly. Gail B. Stewart suggested in Lucent Library of Homeland Security. Defending the Borders (pp. 58-70), the museum intends to detain and turn over to police authorities any visitors or staff who break major criminal laws or who display a serious or immediate threat to themselves or …show more content…
The institute requires each hiring staff to carefully review applications and interview and select persons for work on the premises who do not have a record or personal habit of demonstrating a preference for illegal, violent, abusive, or threatening behavior. The establishment requires interviewing and hiring staff to contact prior employers to verify work history and inquire about the applicant's performance and conduct, documenting the information in the applicant's record. This screening is most important for those who work with public visitors or with children, in work involving potentially dangerous equipment, and in situations of high stress. The foundation requires supervisors to closely monitor the behavior of newly hired staff during their initial term of probation to determine their suitability during this trial period of work, providing counseling where required and taking action before the end of the probationary period to dismiss staff who have a high potential for illegal, violent, abusive, or threatening
...r figure out what these paintings really stand for. In recent years they have been painted over and redone in certain areas, so something needs to be found before there are no paintings left.
To get started, the school based out of Giddings Texas, a state known for stern, harsh and swift punishments, is showing a kinder side which focuses on getting the troubled juveniles back on the right path and attempting to make them a functional member of society. As Hubner explains in his book, the professionalism of the staff and their skill, the philosophy o...
A youth that has committed a delinquent offense will be monitored by a caseworker which might involve home and school visits, drug screens or anything else that may be a stipulation or requirement of the probation. Sometimes the youth is committed to the custody of the state and then that worker is responsible for assessing the level of care, safety, and supervision the youth will require while in custody. This is accomplished through a series of assessments, interviews and observations. The Juvenile Justice worker should make every effort to include the parent or guardian in the assessment and decision making process involving the youth and shoul...
The Museum of the American Indian is directly in front of the Bowling Green Park with a water fountain at the center. From the park view you can see the front of the museum. It has stone steps with statues on the sides. Walking in to the museum up the grand stairs led me to the entrance protected by security with metal detectors. Out of the various museums I’ve previously visited in NYC this was the first time I’ve encountered going through metal detectors, maybe because the museum is free and open to the public?

Every job has its ups and downs, but it just happened to be that we, as human beings, tend to drag our work problems with us to our personal life. Knowing how to separate work from personal life is hard, especially in today’s society considering the technology we have today. This research made me aware of the stress and everyday interactions that probation officers endure and I must admit, is more stressful than I thought. I have always imagined a probation officer’s job much more facile not having such a huge caseload, but like they say, ignorance is bliss. In the following essay, I will be discussing the findings about the stress of a probation officer.
The jobs of correctional officer are some times overlooked. Correctional officers are playing a huge role in society because they need to perform important tasks. A correctional officer’s job is not easy and can become very stressful at times. Correctional officers are required to enforce and keep order, supervise inmates, help counsel offenders, search inmate cells for contraband, and also report on inmate actions. Correctional officers need to contain power over the prisoners in order to enforce the rules of the prison, or else the prison will not function correctly. In the book, Conover says, “The essential relationship inside a prison is the one between a guard and an inmate…the guard, it is thought, wields all the power, but in truth the inmate has power too” (Conover, p. 207). In the book, the importance of power the prisoner’s hold can be seen through the sudden increase of prisoners, the Stanford Prison Experiment and through the contraband they make.
institution plays in their community; the effect of different stakeholder groups on their organizational mission; the importance of their staff in achieving the organization’s goals; and the impact of providing a safe and secure correctional environment where inmates can work toward their rehabilitation and return to live crime-free in the community” (p. 80). This is a large undertaking. It would behoove organizations to ensure that they are training staff in ways that will help promote these habits while increasing the efficacy of their organization.
The probationers and parolees must participate in programs that consist of short and long term substance, mental health counseling and employment readiness
Recently the major countries that were part of WWII are starting to try and push for museums to send back the stolen art to their rightful owners. With the millions of pieces that were stolen during WWII the number of pieces that have not been returned to its heirs is well over 100,000 pieces of art and most of them are currently missing.("Nazi Plunder," n.d.) To help return stolen art, museums search through all of their art to check if any of it was stolen during WWII. Currently though the progress has stopped for returning stolen artwork back to its rightful heirs, because the museums are refusing to give back some of the more major pieces of art. Also the lack of knowing who the art truly belongs to is also slowing down the
Security is not a one-step, or one-goal, process but it is a continuous process that requires constant adjustments to accommodate changes in an environment. Security must be the number one priority for those involved, or even not involved. This is especially important in court building operations. As the risks involved in the court atmosphere is regularly changing, the potential for disturbance will never be fully eliminated. By devoting the appropriate attention and accommodating to changes, potential incidents can minimized or alleviated. Court house security has seen dramatic changes after historically shock shaping incidents, development of security protocols, and the shift in responsibility of national and state courts.
Before being put on probation an offender is interviewed for a presentence investigation which entails any previous criminal history, family history, employment history, any history of addiction,
Worker safety is an increasing issue with the change in the structure of our society. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (2004, p. 6) states, "Health care and social service workers face an increased risk of work-related assaults." This can include "violence by strangers, customers or clients, coworkers, and personal relations (Kolupski, 2016a). Social worker 's safety is a concern in the facility and out in the field. In an effort to prevent violence in the workplace, there are steps organizations must take to ensure the safety of all involved. Being able to recognize dangerous situations to include client signals, environmental signs, and internal signals, are important to continue to provide inclusive
Many of the pieces that the Nazis confiscated from the museums under the different laws that were passed was eventually filed away somewhere in the Reich. “The SS knew where the artwork was hidden; they had lists of everything.” Many of these lists have still survived until this day. One of the most famous art lists is labelled Entartete Kunst, and this lists all of the pieces of artwork by location. Inside the book, they labelled the artwork that had been sold, traded or destroyed, by either a V, T or X. The list is very detailed right down to the number that the artwork was purchased for and by whom. However, this means that the Nazis were keeping a surveillance on all of the collections for a possible
...pe, but totally unsuitable for another. For example trying to display contemporary art in the Grande Louvre would just not work, such a building of age, history, ornamentation and architectural detail, needs in turn to lend its surroundings to artworks of similar magnitude. What all museums have in common, in the past fifty years is that they are trying to make art more approachable, and to leave its elitist characterisation behind. The evolution of art museums and galleries has run parallel with modernist attitudes towards art itself, and it materialises that it was unavoidable that such changes took place. Although in doing this they have not in anyway lost sight of what is appropriate in displaying various works in a comfortable environment for both the artworks and the visitors. Art, architecture and design reflect changing attitudes and run together hand in hand.
