BIDMC is not armed. We were all hired under the premise (and were ALL TOLD) that this was an armed position, and we have not been given approval yet; and we have been here for 8 months. We are going on 164 days since firearms training was complete, and still no firearms. ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

Why do you need firearms in a hospital where you open and lock doors and do an occasional restraint? Boston PD and MSP is always around there, as well as MUNI, HOUSING PD and others. I feel sorry for all the guys that left real departments to go there, what a SHAFT!!

Hey I worked for three hospitals in-house safety and security for eight years in Boston and I know what the job is all about. I also knew a lot of people that worked at BIDMC when they were under Longwood. Besides, I knew that last comment would stir it up a bit. Good luck!!
