Training Requirements by State for Security Professionals

Question 8 • Introduction to Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security

Why does California require that security officers be trained in the power of arrest when it is not the security guard’s job to assume police power?

Answer
A
Security guards are used as an extension of the state police.
B
They make a citizen’s arrest.
C
It is a new power recently granted.
D
They are given special authority in California.

Explanation

Security officers do not have general police powers. They may make a citizen’s arrest when the law allows, so training helps them understand when and how to make an arrest within those limits. The correct choice is “They make a citizen’s arrest.”
