POWER TO ARREST TRAINING MANUAL

______________________________________________________________________________

(Revised 11/05)

STEPS TO ADMINISTERING POWER TO ARREST

Allow each person as much time as needed to finish the examination. Before beginning the

examination, determine whether anyone would benefit from having the examination questions

read aloud.

1. Explain the reason for “Power to Arrest” and that the final score of 100 percent is

required before you can sign the security guard registration application. Explain that this

is an open-book examination, and that answers may be corrected before being submitted

for grading. The course is intended to be a learning experience as well as a guide to

understanding.

2. Supply each applicant with a pencil and scratch paper as well as a Power to Arrest

answer sheet. A quiet place should be provided for the examination.

3. Have trainees read through to Question #65. They should read the study material and

answer the questions by writing on the scratch paper provided. You may answer any

questions that may arise. If you are an employer, you may wish to inform the applicants

of your own company policies at this point. Discuss answers.

4. Review the most important points in the text:

�� A security guard is NOT a peace officer.

�� A security guard’s primary responsibility is to protect the property or persons he or she

is assigned to protect.

�� The main role of a security guard is PREVENTION.

�� If prevention is not possible, the role of a security guard is to OBSERVE and REPORT.

�� In reporting activity, a FACT is an event that actually occurs. A CONCLUSION is a

belief one reaches as a result of the existence of certain facts.

�� A security guard is an agent of the property owner and can question people on the

owner’s property.

�� A security guard may prevent someone from entering private property by standing in

his way.
