CPP Profile: Dave DiNapoli CPPShelter security requires skills fromhealthcare, hospitality and more

former Director of Public Safety & Security at Andrews International for the Cam-bridge Health Alliance (CHA), and Senior Director of Environmental Operations& Chief Security Officer for CHA, is responsible for ensuring the safety and secu-rity of St. Francis House guests, volunteers and staff while overseeing engagementefforts with the community around safety and security issues in the immediate areasurrounding the campus. He spoke with ASIS Boston Newsletter Chair Rich Zupanabout his work and the way in which CPP certification prepared him for his job.
ASIS Boston: Can you describe a typical day? DiNapoli: There is no typical day here! Folks come and go constantly. They maystop in for a shower, meal, medical care, or to job hunt. We are truly a resource forthe city’s homeless during the day, as a low-threshold shelter that welcomes anyonein need of our services. We are open 365 days a year, including holidays, from 6:30am - 3:00 pm every day. Breakfast and lunch are served as hot meals (no dinner)and we also have sandwiches to go in the afternoon. Guests can get new clothes andwe offer showers starting at 7:00 am each day.
Folks begin lining up at our door before 6:30 am each morning. Everyone goesthrough a metal detector upon entering the building. continued on page 7

Massachusetts to consider first-in-state workplace violence legislation
We recently posted an article on pre-viously-passed California legislationpertaining to workplace violence,particularly in health care. We pre-dicted then that this would moveEast. The Commonwealth of Massa-chusetts has Bill S1374 up for de-bate. On July 20, 2017, the bill wasreferred to the Committee on Senate
Ways and Means. Here are the details of the legislation, which are very similar in nature to the California law.
Each health care employer shall annually perform a risk assessment, in cooperationwith the employees of the health care employer and any labor organization or or-ganizations, examining all factors which may put any of the employees at risk ofworkplace violence. The factors shall include, but not be limited to: working inpublic settings; guarding property or possessions; working in high-crime areas;working late night or early morning hours; working alone or in small numbers; un-controlled public access to the workplace; working in public areas where people arein crisis; working in areas where a patient or resident may exhibit violent behavior;working in areas with known security problems; and working with a staffing pat-tern insufficient to address foreseeable risk factors.
(c) Based on the findings of the risk assessment, the health care employer shall develop and implement a program to minimize the danger of workplace violenceto employees, which shall include training, and a system for the ongoing reportingand monitoring of incidents and situations involving violence or the risk of vio-lence. Employee training shall include, in addition to all employer training pro-gram policies, methods of reporting. Each health care employer shall develop awritten violence prevention plan setting forth the employer’s workplace violenceprevention plan. (The) Employer shall make the plan available to each employeeand provide the plan to any of its employees upon their request. The employer shallprovide the plan to any labor organization or organizations representing any of itsemployees. The plan shall include: (I) a list of those factors and circumstances thatmay pose a danger to employees; (II) a description of the methods that the healthcare employer will use to alleviate hazards associated with each factor; including,but not limited to, employee training and any appropriate changes in job design,staffing, security, equipment or facilities; (III) a post-incident debriefing processwith affected staff; and (IV) a description of the reporting and monitoring system.
(d) Each health care employer shall designate a senior manager responsible forthe development and support of an in-house crisis response team for employee-victims of workplace violence. Said team shall implement an assaulted staff actionprogram that includes, but is not limited to, group crisis interventions, individualcrisis counseling, staff victims’ support groups, employee victims’ family crisis inter-vention, peer-help and professional referrals.

ASIS Boston helps stamp out hunger at 2017 Day ofService
ASIS Boston Board members joined members of the Boston Chapter of Interna-tional Association for Healthcare Safety and Security (IAHSS) in August to volun-teer at the Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB). The Day of Service participantsstepped away from their desks and spent the day sorting, packing and labelingenough food to provide a family of four with over 3,000 meals.
The largest hunger-relief organization in New England, the GBFB distributednearly 58 million pounds of nutritious food to people in need in 2016. Thanks toASIS Boston member Alexis Rossetti for organizing this annual outing.
The ASIS/IAHSS team worked together to create kits made up of canned goods and other nutritious, non-perishablefoods.

ASIS Book ReviewBuilding a Corporate Culture of Security: Strategies for StrengtheningOrganizational Resiliency
By John Sullivant Reviewed by Mark H. Beaudry, PhD, CPP
Security consultant and author JohnSullivant superbly covers everythingfrom A-Z in this text providing provenstrategies for improving organizationalresilience and converting risks andthreats into security solutions. A well-known author and frequent contributorto the ASIS International magazine, Se-curity Management, Sullivant providesa detailed laundry list of actions and in-tersperses them with his own experi-ences as a security professional withskills in commercial and governmentalmanagement and consulting. Unfortu-nately, the publisher chose to condensethe text material too tightly and did notallow for a good flow of informationfrom one topic to the next. The editorshould have added more spacing toallow the reader to easily digest andtransition between topics.
Sullivant provides an excellent manage-rial perspective of the gaps senior secu-rity professionals typically miss whendeveloping an organization from theground up. He also provides some verygood advice on the “how to” perspec-tive when working with peers and exec-utives. This book on organizationalsecurity covers a variety of relevant ma-terial for anyone that is interested in thesubject, as well as any manager willingto undertake an internal review of theirorganization (or justify use of a consult-ant) and identify the gaps that mayneed to be improved. Sullivant per-forms a deep dive into the critical as-pects of resiliency, building a corporatesecurity culture, and the future of professional security.
Well-written and informative, this in-teresting book contains ample appen-dices and provides a wealth of referenceand background material. Available inboth e-book and paperback formats, t isa natural choice for academic courses inboth undergraduate and graduate secu-rity studies programs.

CPP Profile, cont’d pg 1
Keeping out weapons is our number one priority, followed by drugs. We also haveNarcan and have used it to save 48 people inside our facility between January andJune of this year. We are very proud of the fact that no one has died in our facility,which I feel reflects directly on the commitment and quick response of our securityteam. Synthetic marijuana, known as K2, is growing in popularity and as a resultcausing a different type of overdose. Unfortunately, neither Narcan nor any otherdrug works to reverse the effects of those overdoses, which often result in peoplehaving seizures.
ASIS Boston: Would you say you are in the healthcare business or hospitality?DiNapoli: I would say a combination of both. I have previously worked in hospi-tal and college security. In both industries, your job was to protect people in theirbeds. Here, we have no beds, people constantly come and go throughout the day.We are vigilant about keeping our volunteers, staff, and guests safe from predatorybehavior. If our staff and more importantly, volunteers, don’t feel safe they simplywill stop showing up or donating. Donations are critical to our operation as wefund over 65% of our annual budget from private donations.
Security is challenging for us and any other shelter since there are no written bestpractices or industry standards for shelter security. We have a staff of over 20 safetyand security folks and we work closely with the Boston police, other shelters andour neighbors. Our CEO actually started a group called the Boylston Block for thepurpose of strengthening neighborhood communication. I am truly impressed bythe communication and collaboration that occurs here, both internally and exter-nally. I have seen one homeless person help another find the services he/she neededon many occasions. Also, regular meetings occur between homeless service agencies,law enforcement and the City of Boston to discuss the needs of the homeless popu-lation in the city.
ASIS Boston: Can you talk a bit more about the services provided to your guests? DiNapoli: Sure, a lot of our guests are from or living in the city. Boston has someof the best services available anywhere for the homeless population. Here at St.Francis House you can eat, take a shower, get a fresh set of clothes, see a doctor, receive mental health counseling, get connected with a detox facility, and receivehelp in finding permanent housing under one roof. Furthermore, we will assist ourguests in getting to an appointment, court appearance or job interview. We alsohave a workforce readiness program and are always working with and assisting ourguests in obtaining permanent housing.
ASIS Boston: When did you become a CPP? DiNapoli: I became certified as a CPP in 2008. I found the test to be challenging.There seemed to be no rhyme or reason to the order in which the questions wereasked. They jumped about from physical security to emergency preparedness to theother domains. In preparing for the test I studied on my own and took the BostonChapter prep course taught by Boston chapter volunteers. I thought it was a verywell-run course and it definitely assisted me in passing the test. The CPP hashelped my career. It is definitely a recognized credential. People who understand se-curity understand the value of having a CPP. Being Board certified brings credibil-ity to you as a professional. It is truly an umbrella designation.
