Officer Smith, who has been on the job for almost two years, still loves to ask questions. He believes the job is ever-changing and there’s always something to learn. Today, he approaches his Captain with a question that cannot be so easily answered.
“I know that safety and security can run hand in hand. The two most important elements of corrections is safety and security. But, I was wondering, is there ever a time when they can conflict? Through your career, have you ever had to make a choice that had to go one way that was in direct opposition of the other?”
For this scenario, you are the Captain. Can you come up with a scenario in which safety and security are in conflict, or do they only exist in a parallel relationship?
