Audio Interview: "A library safety expert weighs in on the effectiveness of police and metal detectors at libraries"


We're posting CBC interview with Dr. Albrecht in our "Library Service, Safety, & Security" section of Library 2.0: "A library safety expert weighs in on the effectiveness of police and metal detectors at libraries."
Dr. Steve Albrecht was recently interviewed by CBC Winnipeg radio, following the fatal stabbing of a patron by four teenagers at the main Winnipeg Library. The library has installed a metal detector and staffed it with security guards and police officers. Take a listen to Dr. Steve's comments on this security response.

While Dr. Albrecht's twice-monthly Library 2.0 podcast and blog posts are available for free, as are access to 48,000 other library professionals, our regular mini-conferences, and all the conference recordings. We also offer a series of Dr. Albrecht paid webinars and recordings which are available for individual or group viewing here.
