The security officers have experienced an increase in violent situations during the coronavirus pandemic linked to increased houselessness and the lack of needed treatment for mental illness.
There have been reports of violent robberies, being attacked by unhoused people when trying to clear them from an area, and violence and hostility as officers enforce COVID-19 protocols like the mask mandate.
Boardman reported a security officer from San Francisco who was put in a coma for months after attempting to clear skateboarders from an area, as well as other confrontations leading to officers being hospitalized. One security officer was even killed on the job in Oakland. In May, the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health proposed a draft regulation to prevent workplace violence in all industries. "Cal/OSHA coming in to expand these regulations is right on time," Boardman said, and he hopes they move forward with the regulations.
