Do hospital security guards carry weapons?

If somebody's trying to gain access to a hospital at 3 AM and showing fake docs, wouldn't you think they'd be held for questioning?

Does a hospital security guard have any authority to hold someone until police arrive?

Inquiring minds need to know!

"Do hospital security guards carry weapons? "

As one who has visited friends and relatives in hospitals a lot of late, one thing I have noticed...hospital security is almost non-existent. Hospitals are an extremely vulnerable (and I would think tempting) target for terrorists.

Some carry, some do not. Yes, it's weird enough to question. Yes, they have the ability to detain and call sworn officers.
