POWER TO ARREST TRAINING MANUAL

______________________________________________________________________________

(Revised 11/05)

30

party is said to be using “excessive force” and may be held criminally as well as

civilly liable. An example of excessive force is the discharge of a firearm in

shooting a suspect in order to protect personal property. By law, deadly force is

allowed only to protect lives.

�� USE OF UNAUTHORIZED DEADLY WEAPONS:

Becoming registered as a security guard DOES NOT ALONE entitle you to carry a

weapon. Some weapons such as knives, brass knuckles, nunchakus, or sawed-off

shotguns may not be carried by security guards.

�� UNLAWFUL USE OF DEFENSIVE WEAPONS:

Handguns and batons may not be carried by security guards unless authorized by

the State Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau of Security and Investigative

Services. Weapons are allowed only after the security guard receives Bureaurecognized

training and appropriate permits. Tear-gas permits are controlled by

the State Department of Justice.

�� FALSE ARREST:

MISDEMEANOR ARREST - a private person making a misdemeanor arrest may

be found criminally liable for a false arrest if the arrest is made and the arresting

party did not actually observe the suspect commit the misdemeanor in his

presence.

FELONY ARREST - a private person making a felony arrest may be found

criminally liable for a false arrest if the arrest is made or caused to be made by

others and the arresting party does not have reasonable cause to believe that the

person arrested committed the felony.

EVERYONE HAS CIVIL LIABILITY

The legal term “PARTY” can be a person, company, or organization.

When one party believes it has been injured, damaged, or wronged by another party, it

may make a lawful claim for damages.

The claim or “LAW SUIT” is presented to a civil court where both parties may explain

their positions to a judge or jury.
