As a matter of fact, often have a contractual obligation to implement these measures. Security Officers are often trained to arrests, the emergency operation, the implementation of first aid, CPR, the precise instructions and effective reports and other tasks, such as to protect the assets they are. In the case of armed security guards, police and private, are required to scroll through additional training on behalf of the State to carry weapons, as a witness, firearms, handcuffs, arrest and control training and pepper.
One of the main economic justification for security forces is that the insurance companies (including fire insurance) is a significant rate discounts to places with a presence in 24 hours, for a high risk or high-rises, the discount can often use the money for the security program. This is because a security guard at the site increases the likelihood that all fire has been observed, and the local fire department before there is a total loss. In addition, the presence of security forces (especially in combination with effective security procedures) tends to reduce “shrinkage”, theft, workers and the lack of security breaches, damage or even sabotage. Many hire security personnel to protect the casinos in the transfer of money from the Casino Casino Bank.
Also, the security officers to control access to building entrances and doors of the vehicle to ensure that employees and visitors display proper passes or identification before entering the plant. Security officers are often in response to minor emergencies (lost persons, lockouts, dead vehicle batteries, etc.) and to assist in serious emergencies by emergency to the scene of the incident and documenting what happened in a report incident. In the case of armed security officers are often forced to react, as police officers, until the situation is under control and / or the competent authorities at the scene.
Although security officers are one of the employees either the police or the military, in the United States, a very high proportion of the security forces, including the most senior management staff, or are retired or former members of one or both services. Many security officers who do not fit this profile (young people, in particular) the job as a springboard into a police career.
As representatives of the private security companies is certainly not a lucrative job. Most front-line private security forces are paid low wages, often not with the risks at work.

Recent developments of the security industry in the United States tend to upgrade the security personnel in three categories, as follows:
Security guards: The staff, usually in uniform, are primarily for the protection of property and not just the responsibility for anything other than the visibility and reporting basics. Examples of security forces include night watchman at construction sites, bank vault guards, the guards and monetary policy transport money and valuables.
Security Officers: The staff, also usually in uniform, are tasks that the protection of lives, property and public peace in private ownership. Examples of security agents are apartment complex, the security officers, the security officers in commercial, private Patrol officers and all the security forces, in an environment which is a contractual obligation to protect life and / or public peace.
Security officers: These individuals, usually without uniform, or employees, mostly with a focus on prevention instead of incarceration in private ownership. Examples of security agents include loss prevention agents and personal protection officers (bodyguards).
Security personnel are not policemen, but are often with them in similar uniforms, and behavior, especially when private property. Security personnel do not derive their powers of the state, such as the police made public, but from a contractual agreement that “Agent owner powers. This includes an almost limitless power of freedom, the absence of probable cause that the requirements often dog law enforcement agencies. In addition, as the case law have further restricted the traditional power of the police officers’ discretion “in connection with arrests in the area, a policeman for the detention of juvenile offenders, private security forces continue to enjoy the powers of assessment to a large part to its status as citizens. Since the law on the limits of the powers in general have to do with law enforcement, private security is relatively free, non-traditional means for the protection and the interests of their clients. This is not out of control advised, however, as private security personnel did not have the benefit of disaster, such as law enforcement officials to do, and can be sued directly for false arrests and illegal actions, if such acts.
