If all, or any, of these allegations are true, it is devastating, disappointing news. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, security officers continue to be first reponders, answering calls at industrial sites, hospitals and other essential businesses, while also providing protection to properties temporarily closed down during the virus. They are on the front lines, putting themselves in harm's way, both in terms of overall danger, and now the added concern of the virus. At a time when security officers are desperately needed, they appear, from the allegations, to be the victims of abuse. Hopefully, their complaints are heard and investigated to the fullest. -- IFPO.
