A fixed hospital security guard who knows your hospital

A hospital is an open, busy environment where patients, family, visitors and clinicians walk in all day long. Aggression in the waiting room, escalations in the ER, unwanted visitors on wards and incidents during evening and night shifts are part of daily reality. One confused visitor at the desk or one unnoticed intruder on a ward directly affects the calm in your hospital and the sense of safety for patients and staff.

Kilic Security is a Dutch security company based in Amsterdam, delivering hospital security for academic, general and specialised hospitals and for independent treatment centres and private clinics. You get a fixed crew with a team lead who knows your hospital: the ER layout, the routes between outpatient clinics and wards, your visiting rules and your aggression protocol. Visible, approachable, trained in de-escalation and used to working with nurses, doctors, reception and facilities. One dedicated point of contact from intake through daily operation.

Visible in the ER, approachable in the waiting room

For hospitals we deliver visible security at entrance, desk, waiting room, outpatient clinics and on wards. Our hospital security guards are trained in de-escalation, recognise confusion and aggression early and support nurses and doctors during difficult conversations. When something happens they calmly coordinate with the duty doctor, team lead or operations lead so calm returns to the ward as fast as possible.

What makes a hospital vulnerable

In a hospital, tension almost always surfaces in the same places: at the main entrance and the desk, in the waiting room, in the ER and on outpatient clinics with long waiting times. Waiting, pain, worry and sometimes alcohol or drugs make aggression in a hospital more frequent and more intense than people assume. On top of that you deal with unwanted visitors on wards, theft from lockers and workspaces, and protection of medication and confidential patient information.

The risk profile also differs by time of day. During the day it is about visibility and de-escalation at the entrance, in the waiting room and on outpatient clinics. During evening and night shifts about immediate response in the ER, on wards and at the ambulance bay. In weekends about supervision of public areas and support with visiting rules. We build the crew around hospital experience, languages that match your population and a calm, approachable style.

Visible in the ER, alert at the entrance

The main entrance, the waiting room and the ER are where tension tends to build first. During the day our hospital security guards are approachable at the desk, walk visible rounds along outpatient clinics and wards and support nurses during difficult conversations. On tension they seek dialogue first. Escalation is a last step, not a first reaction. Outside office hours we keep the hospital in view via CCTV and mobile patrols, with 24/7 alarm response from our control room.

Which type of hospital we work for

Our hospital security is built for sites with an ER, busy public areas and high daily visitor flows at irregular hours. In practice we mainly work for the following operators:

  • Academic hospitals (UMC) with large public areas and multiple buildings
  • General and regional hospitals with ER, outpatient clinics and wards
  • Specialised hospitals and rehabilitation clinics
  • Independent treatment centres (ZBC) and day treatment centres
  • Private clinics with a closed patient flow
  • Hospital groups with multiple sites under one board

Medical care, nursing and psychosocial support stay with your own doctors, nurses and specialised parties: that is not something we provide. Everything around it (physical access, supervision in waiting room and public areas, reception and visitor registration, CCTV, closing rounds, alarm response and temporary deployment during incidents or peaks) we do.

Fixed crew per hospital, also on night shifts

For a fixed hospital we assign the same crew and team lead to your site. They know your ER, your outpatient clinics, your visiting rules and your aggression protocol. For peaks, incidents or temporary expansion we scale from the same team and not from a loose pool, so patients, family and staff keep seeing the same faces.

How we integrate with your hospital

As facilities manager, head of security or ER operations lead you do not want to coordinate with several parties at once. At Kilic Security you get one dedicated point of contact from intake: someone who walks the hospital with you, thinks along on the setup at the entrance, camera coverage of waiting room and public areas, the fit with reception and the protocol in the ER and on wards. We deliver a security setup that aligns with your aggression protocol, your safety plan and the expectations of the board and inspection.

Multiple hospital sites under one board (main site, satellite outpatient clinic, satellite clinic)? We keep one reporting line and one set of procedures across all your sites, with a team lead per location and one central point of contact above the operation. Reports are suitable for your board, quality department and if needed for your insurer or inspection.

One point of control across multiple hospital sites

Running multiple hospitals in the Netherlands? Kilic Security keeps control in one hand: one dedicated point of contact, one reporting line and one set of procedures that align with your aggression protocol and with the agreements within your board and quality department.

Frequently asked questions about hospital security

A short intro to the most common questions. Don't see yours? We're happy to help you personally.

Yes. All our officers hold a valid Dutch security ID (BV pas) with a recent VOG (certificate of good conduct). For deployment as a hospital security guard we select people with experience in the ER, outpatient clinics or wards and a calm, approachable style. Standard on top of that: in-house emergency response, first aid and training in aggression management and de-escalation. They work in line with your aggression protocol and are used to working with nurses, doctors, reception and facilities. Medical care and nursing stay with your own team: that is not something we provide.

Yes. We deliver 24/7 staffing in a hospital, from fixed day shifts at the desk or in the waiting room to full night rosters in the ER. Combinations are also possible: fixed day presence, complemented by mobile patrols and alarm response from our control room during evenings, nights and weekends. For peaks in the ER or for incidents we scale from the same fixed team.

Aggression in a hospital most often occurs in the waiting room, in the ER and on outpatient clinics with long waiting times. Our hospital security guards are trained in aggression management and de-escalation and work in line with your aggression protocol. On an alert they are quickly on site, seek dialogue first and support nurses and doctors when a situation escalates. They keep the environment safe for other patients, hand over to the duty doctor or team lead and deliver a written report within 24 hours.

Yes. We handle access control via reception, visitor registration and key or pass management, and connect on request to your existing access control system. CCTV in and around a hospital is allowed provided you demonstrate a legitimate interest, the setup is proportionate, you communicate clearly via signage and visiting rules, and you apply a retention period (typically up to 4 weeks, unless needed for incident handling). We help with camera positioning and logging; the DPIA and processing register stay with your own data protection officer.

Yes. For hospital groups with a main site, satellite outpatient clinic or satellite clinic we deliver one set of procedures and one reporting line across all your locations, with a team lead per hospital and one central point of contact above the operation. Useful if you have sites in different cities or if part of your hospital is shared with other parties.

Yes. Agency staff you meet for the first time on the day is not how we work. Per hospital we assign a fixed crew and team lead who know your ER, your outpatient clinics and your aggression protocol. For peaks, incidents or temporary expansion we scale from the same network, not from a loose pool.

For a regular setup we plan in agreement, typically 2 to 4 weeks from intake to start on site: time for a walk through the hospital, a safety plan, alignment with facilities, head of security and ER operations lead and instruction of the fixed crew. For urgent cases (aggression incident, failure of a current provider, temporary expansion) we can often deliver a team within days through our network. On last minute requests you receive an availability check and an indicative quote within 24 hours.
