Oulu stabbing|The medal proposal came from the police, says the security manager in charge of policing the shopping center.
Commercial center Valkea’s security guards have received praise for their actions on Thursday. Thursday in Valkea in Oulu was stabbed A 12-year-old boy. In addition, another child was also tried to be stabbed.
Valkea’s guard ran after the knifeman.
“He ran after the suspect so that he could prevent any further damage,” says the security manager of Reila, which is responsible for public order in Valkea Matti Alatalo for HS.
Second The security guard of the shopping center gave first aid to the stabbing victim, Alatalo says. The victim had been stabbed several times.
A third guard also came to the victim, and they stopped the bleeding from the injection sites, Alatalo says.
The guard who went after the perpetrator caught the perpetrator and took the knife away from him. The guard received help in the arrest situation from the same guard, who had also come to help with first aid, says Alatalo.
Are On behalf of Reila, they praised the guards for their good work, Alatalo says.
“There is going to be some sort of reward for the guards, that’s how well they handled the situation,” he states.
Alatalo still cannot say how the guards will be rewarded. According to him, the police have proposed that the guard who started the first aid and the guard who caught the perpetrator be awarded a lifesaving medal. In addition, a medal has been presented to the third guard, who helped both in first aid and in the arrest situation.
Life saving medal granted by the President of the Republic. It can be given to a person who has saved another person’s life from imminent danger. Recognition can be given for a very brave, resourceful act or an act done at the risk of one’s own life.
In guard training According to Alatalo, we go through possible threatening situations that the security guard may encounter during his working career. These can be, for example, pickpocketing and theft.
“There is a risk of violence in such situations,” says Alatalo.
According to Alatalo, threat situations are practiced concretely at school, instead, mental image exercises are done at workplaces. According to Alatalo, at workplaces, with the help of imagery exercises, we go over how, for example, threatening situations are handled at the place in question.
However, according to Alatalo, it is difficult to prepare for stabbing situations as they happen so rarely.
According to Alatalo, the guards have basic first aid skills, such as treating wounds.
Lower house describes Valkea’s event as “truly exceptional”. He says that he has worked in the security industry for more than twenty years.
“I don’t remember anything like that happening in any of the sites I was responsible for,” he says.
