POWER TO ARREST TRAINING MANUAL

PART A (contd.)

PREVENTION IS THE KEY

The security guard’s concern is to protect persons and prevent damage or destruction to property.

PREVENTION is the key word.

For example, if you spotted some young people trying to climb a fence to enter private property,

you should shout at them or turn on the lights. Do anything lawful that would discourage their

trespassing, don’t wait until they cross the fence so you can arrest them.

Another typical situation might be: A person intends to steal from a store, but suddenly sees a

uniformed security guard on patrol. The person leaves the store without stealing anything. The

guard, simply by being in uniform, has prevented a crime.

______________________________________________________________________________

OBSERVE AND REPORT

If you can’t prevent an incident, the proper action is to observe and report. You should:

�� Observe carefully and

�� Report immediately to the local law enforcement and/or your supervisor.

SITUATION SECURITY GUARD’S ROLE

BEFORE the incident: PREVENTION

DURING OR AFTER the incident: OBSERVE AND REPORT
