Douglas Mental Health University Institute in Montreal has approved $4.5 million to upgrade security, according to an article on the Montreal Gazette website.
Three months after the facility set up a task force to curb escalating violence against staff, workers say not much has been done beyond some cosmetic improvements.
Some of the new security measures include:
• The installation of metal detectors and surveillance cameras
• Staff training
• Security guards are increasing their rounds
Union leaders and management are expected to meet again in October to assess the progress of the security upgrades.
