I'd be interested to see a follow-up piece on the Website between armed and unarmed guards, particularly in high-traffic areas like hospitals or schools. The duties listed here (access control, monitoring, patrolling) are essential, but the psychological element of handling vulnerable populations requires a unique skill set. It seems the "soft skills" of an unarmed professional are becoming more critical than ever.
