Discussions for private security officers and management, everything related to contract or full-time guard services.
Great information David.DavidJ wrote:Use of Force
There is a reason police, special constables, CBSA and other law enforcement entities get in depth use of force training. An element of this training is assessing and planing a response.
Use of force starts with assessing the situation (all elements) upon approaching/initiating/ or however one becomes engaged in a situation. You need to know what is/has/about to happen. Tactical communications has to be part of the process. Tactical communication includes listening and digesting what you have heard. Then using that to form you best plan of action.
Sometimes, even for police, the best plan of action is to back off; reassess and form a better plan of action. For security guards this might very well mean calling and then waiting for police to deal with the situation. For police this may mean waiting for back-up officers to arrive before continuing.
Security guards in most situations do not have the resources, whether that be additional guards, use of force tools or a means to call for assistance, once engaged. You must be very cognoscente of that! You might very well become entangled in a fight for your life once you are engaged in a situation.
Shop-lifting/theft, mischief or trespassing are all offenses, that at the end of the day, are not and should never become a situation where dealing with it escalates to a life threatening/serious injury outcome. These situations can wait for better odds in the guard's favor (i.e. more guards or police).
In cases of mentally ill people or anyone demonstrating potential for violence, keeping others out of harms way is as or more important than engaging the threat. If the guard(s) become a victim and are incapacitated they are of no use to anyone. In such cases a prompt call to the police with detailed information will be the best plan of action.
Security guards ARE NOT bound by law to risk their lives or limbs. You are bound to exercise due diligence in how you respond and engage in incidents. You are open for law suits and charges if you make a mistake.
Good solid training and common sense beats assumption and bravado every time!

As for me, there has been many times around town when I have come very close to a possible aggravated assault charge in defending myself against threats, harassment, slander or baiting. So far so good, they were mostly drunk/high. Professional face prevailed(long before I started guarding) so that is a good thing. I feel personal face lost out, our laws are very weak here. Preponderance of evidence, is lacking, but that's another subject, society devolution.
Thank you, I have a feeling this might have been on another post of mine though.BryanM35 wrote:Nightwatchman wrote:No vid. there now, YouTube message says: `account terminated' ...too bad, this could have been informative to me, however there 's David's post, thanks!

You gave a very good link. I must appreciate. It would be very helpful for those who are willing to get a license.

So, I find this to be a good link, for those applying for a position, and maintaining it once hired.

Sorry, but it is a delusion that security will or even should be assisting police in any way other than observe and report.Admin wrote:David. Why not use your experance to help improve the security industry instead of giving up on it as a increasing valuable tool to "assist" policing?
The standards will increase and so will the duties. The agancies and security guards that perform to the new standards will get the contracts.
