In the Line of Duty: Update on Wounded Palm Springs Security Officer

In Monday's private security news clips, we posted an article about a Palm Springs security officer who was severely wounded while on duty.  The officer, Wallace Brown of Bowers Security, is a former Marine who was working construction security ion Palm Springs.  The alleged attackers were all associated, according to police, with the Northside Gateway Posse Crips gang.

There are two new articles today updating us on the status of the officer and the investigation:
