PART B

RELATIONS WITH THE LOCAL POLICE

Your job is made easier if you have a good working relationship with the local peace officers.

NEVER play “cop.” You don’t have the training for it and you don’t have the legal

authority to do the same things a peace officer can do. Also, playing “cop” will

antagonize the local law enforcement and hurt your company’s working relations with

them.

DON’T MISLEAD PEOPLE. Because of your uniform, badge, hat or other gear, some

people may think you are a peace officer. DON’T do anything to encourage this false

idea. Whenever the opportunity arises, make it a point to let them know that you are

NOT a peace officer, but a security guard.

DURING AN EMERGENCY, you may not interfere with peace officers who may be on

the scene even if they are on the private property of your employer or client. You must

cooperate to the extent possible with these peace officers or you may be subject to arrest.

REMEMBER:

Your roles are different! A peace officer is charged with the enforcement of laws in a

city or county. A security guard is responsible for protecting only the specific people or

property he is hired to protect.
