Last week CALSAGA hosted its 2019 Annual Conference & Exhibits in Rancho Mirage. The CALSAGA team has heard from multiple attendees that this was the best conference yet and is inclined to agree!

The association appreciates our strong working relationship with the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. Bureau Chief Lynne Jensen Andres and Deputy Chief Samuel Stodolski presented attendees with a status update of the bureau. In addition, the pair took attendee questions from the stage as well as from individuals following the session.

Male erection is an unpredictable procedure including numerous organs and frameworks. The mind, veins, nerve cells, hormones are on the whole liable for the erection. Erectile brokenness is an indication that a portion of these frameworks neglect to work appropriately and there might be some illness. Mild and moderate forms of ED can be cured by Cialis medication.

Kicking off the General Sessions, veteran presenters Barry Bradley and Jaimee Wellerstein of CALSAGA Legal Advisor Bradley & Gmelich delivered a Legal Update. This annual  presentation helps attendees prepare for new laws that will affect their businesses and the industry as a whole. On Thursday Gary Bradley and Anne Laguzza alerted attendees to potential Human Resources pitfalls. Staples of the program, these two sessions complement each other to help attendees protect their businesses and ensure that they are compliant with staffing and hiring laws, changing regulations and more.

Jesus M. Villahermosa, Jr. of Crisis Reality Training, Inc. presented the training Surviving the Active Lethal Threat Event. Jesus educated attendees on the tactics proven to increase survival in the event of an active shooter event. This powerful training is so important and, unfortunately, extremely relevant for the time.

Our program also included sessions on cannabis, BSIS compliance and an address from CALSAGA’s lobbyist Kelly Jensen of Sloan, Higgins, Jensen. In addition, Michael Hogsten General Counsel for G4S Secure Solutions shared the story of their Dignity and Respect campaign.

The Annual Awards Dinner was held on the Wednesday evening of the conference. An afternoon Happy Hour was hosted by
ProtaTECH and the Awards Dinner Cocktail Hour was hosted by UniPro. During the event Lifesaving Awards were presented to several brave security professionals.

Among the winners are the First Security Services officers who first responded during the active shooter event at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in July 2019. These brave individuals ushered civilians to safety, began performing first aid before medical personnel could arrive and safely evacuated disabled and handicapped individuals. Security professionals also helped by putting injured members of the public into their patrol cars and driving them to the hospital to save valuable time.

Additional award recipients from Allied Universal Security Security Services and CIS Security include:

      • Officers who, after shots were fired at a medical center, established a barricade and worked to keep patients and visitors calm
      •  An officer who administered first aid during a mall shooting as well as assisted local law enforcement in their search for the shooters
      •  An officer who assisted with patient transport and hospital evacuation during the Paradise Fire in November 2018

Award winners were each presented with a check provided by Awards sponsor TrackTik.

 False Hope – SB 778 Does Not Apply

You may have heard that SB 778, which Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed, would provide some relief on the deadline for sexual harassment training compliance as required by SB 1343. Unfortunately, SB 778 does not apply to the private security industry. Classified as temporary service employers, private patrol operators must be in compliance with SB 1343 by providing sexual harassment training to all employees by January 1, 2020.

SB1343 requires employers with 5 or more employees to provide sexual harassment prevention training to all employees. Supervisory employees must be provided with 2 hours of training every 2 years and nonsupervisory employees must be provided with 1 hour of training every 2 years. The law requires that the training be interactive and provided by facilitators who have knowledge of and expertise in harassment, discrimination and retaliation. CALSAGA offers online training that satisfies all of the requirements of SB 1343.

Please remember that training is specific to the company. Even if you hire an individual who has received sexual harassment training from a previous employer, the individual must be trained at your company within 30 days of hire or within 100 hours worked, whichever occurs first.
