UofM Health - West (formerly Metro Hospital for West Michiganders) recently started a security program where they have three (soon to be four) Malinois/Shepherd mixes on site at the hospital. The program has been a massive success, not just in de-escalating true security threats (threats to the physical safety of hospital workers is a real and growing issue, believe it or not), but also in patient and staff happiness scores. The dogs are very friendly, and like to be petted, but ... When they are called to action, they are very "effective" at de-escalating tense situations very quickly.
