Yes, I imagine it was considered very serious there. I heard about there being a large GO staff there. It was like the EUS version of CA. Often times they would pull GO staff from NY and Phili to come up there for briefings or handlings.
Back in those days, as was the case at orgs in urban settings, only HCO staff members were allowed to guard the front entry and be the eyes and ears of the near empty building all night long. It was more like a babysitting job without a TV. He or she sat and worked from the reception desk. The post title was called Quartermaster. Same as the Sea Org post. Every HCO staff member had to take the full hat course, as if he were the quartermaster of a ship. I remember taking that course and wondering why I had to learn all that crap about ships when all I was going to be doing is manning the reception desk over night because someone had to be there. We all had to take turns at least one night a week.
I gather they still have people posted as the org Quartermaster, or are on HCO all hands with it.
At Boston Org when I was there (1980's) I don't recall any requirement for the people working the night security shift to be HCO.
I think all non-exec's were fair game to get roped into this.
I don't recall any incidents during the shifts I was working, but I did sleep through some of those shifts, so who knows.








, you'll need about 10 security guards around the clock just to keep the place from being burned down.
