morale of the Client's employees, tends to eliminate

14.8.8 Civil Wrongs
14.8.8.1 Wrongful acts committed by a person can be divided
into "civil* and °Milliner wrongs. Civil wrongs are
acts committed by one person against another, which
may be satisfied by a monetary award for damages.
No fine or Imprisonment is Involved.
14.8.8.2 All other wrongs are criminal wrongs and are
punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both.
14.8.8.3 Normally, you will not become involved in cMl wrongs
as a protector of private property.
14.8.8.4 Only criminal wrongs that take place on private
property will involve you and it is here that you will be
expected to take some action.
14.8.9 Criminal wrongs
14.8.9.1 Criminal wrongs are often divided into two categories
called `misdemeanors" and 'felonies*.
14.8.9.2 Those crimes are usually distinguished by the
severity of the punishment for the particular wrong.
14.8.9.3 Broadly defining these, felonies are the most serious
crimes, punished by death or imprisonment in a state
penitentiary for a period in excess of one year.
14.8.9.4 Misdemeanors are less serious crimes, punished by
fine or imprisonment in a state penitentiary for a
period In excess of one year. Misdemeanors are loss
serious crimes, punished by fine or imprisonment in a
city or county jail for not more than one year.
14.8.9.6 Examples of felonies range from the capital crimes of
murder, rape and arson, down to crimes of
aggravated assault, assault with a deadly weapon,
burglary, breaking and entering, and others. Theft

can be either a misdemeanor or a felony; in most
states, it depends on the value of the stolen items.
14.8.10 Your rights and authority as a protector of private property are not
the same in both categories of criminal wrongs.
14.8.10.1 Under common law, and as implemented by statute,
as a private citizen protecting private property, arrest
powers are limited and it Is most important that you
know and understand these limitations.
14.9 Arrests
14.9.1 The law states that a person is under arrest when another person
for the, purpose of holding or detaining him has taken him into
custody to answer to criminal charge.
14.9.2 Whether or not you mean to actually arrest a person Is not always
important since the courts have held that if you hold or detain a
person against his will, or if you restrict or restrain his going about
his lawful way, you have actually arrested that person whether
you intended to or not. Generally, the common law rules provide
that you may arrest only under the following conditions:
14.9.2.1 When a felony is committed in your presence and you
know that, the person you are arresting committed
that felony. The important thins here is that you know
that the felony was committed and you know the
person you are arresting is the person who committed
that felony.
14.9.2.2 When a misdemeanor is committed in your presence,
but only if that misdemeanor constitutes disorderly
conduct or breach of the peace. The law says that for
a wrong to be disorderly conduct or a breach of the
peace, it must corrupt public morals, outrage the
senso of public decency, or affect the peace and quiet
of persons who witness the wrong. You have no
right to arrest anyone for a misdemeanor that does
not constitute disorderly conduct or a breach of the
peace.
14.9.3 We have to use common sense in our approach to situations
where theft is involved. If the theft were apparently minor in
nature, reporting of the incident would be the proper action to
take. If the theft appears to be of major proportions, detaining or
holding might be necessary.

I EFFECTNE: August 2009
14.10.1 When using force, you must have the legal right to do so, and the
legal right to use force generally exists only when it is necessary
to defend yourself or another person.
14.10.2 When making an arrest, force should never be used unless you or
another person is attacked. You may only apply that degree of
force, which would counter the force used by the attacker.
14.10.3 You actually have no legal right to use force until all less harmful
means have been exhausted.
14.10.4 Frequently, the person attempting to make an arrest creates a
serious situation needlessly by using force.
14.10.6 Where only a minor crime is involved, never create a situation by
your attitude or approach requiring the use of force.
14.10.43 If an arrest becomes necessary. It is usually sufficient to Inform
the person being arrested of the reason for the arrest and the
authority under which the arrest Is being made.
14.10.7 Even though a person has committed a crime and is being
arrested for that crime, there is no justification for any
unnecessary abuse, either physical or verbal, and a good Security
Officer will remain polite and respectful at all times.
14.10.8 Remember, use force only as a last resort and when all less
harmful means have failed. Use only the amount of force
necessary, never more. USE DEADLY FORCE ONLY WHEN
NECESSARY TO PROTECT LIFE, NEVER PROPERTY.

Police function.

depending on the time limit, as complete a search as possible must be

consultation between the authorities and the management of the premises.
16.3 A recipient of an anonymous telephone bomb threat should be questioned
closely for a description of the call as soon as possible.

the sex, age, voice, and accent, high or low pitch of an
