Basic security guard
training Unit 3 Lesson (A)
As the foundation of our society, the law grants everyone the inalienable right to
life, liberty, and security. This right is inviolable, except by the principles of fundamental justice. As a security guard, understanding
and upholding these laws is a duty and a source of empowerment and
responsibility.
You must know the country's laws and privileges as a security guard. The most common rights and freedoms that relate to the particular security
guard job are;
·
Everybody has the option to live in freedom and security;
·
Everyone has the right against unreasonable search or take
things from them.
·
Everybody has the right against detaining or imprison without
reason;
·
Everybody has the right to know the reason for arrest and
detain.
The
police are the country's legal authority and are essential to public security. The security officer plays a similar role in protecting the client and his/her property.
When
you are in a situation to detain or arrest someone, you should remember their
fundamental rights. Everyone has the right not to be unreasonably searched or seized.
So, in the search for someone, there should be reasonable grounds
for it.
With
good reason, the security guard cannot take or search personal property. The police or the security officer who fails to abide by it may see the
case in court for violating the law.
