Liability And Legal Aspects

To be a great security officer, you need to understand your legal duties and, more importantly, the limits of your power. That’s the purpose of this course. You’ll learn...

• The rules you need to follow to stay on the right side of the law as you observe and report
• The types of legal liabilities you can be exposed to when you don’t follow the rules so you can make smart choices
• How civil lawsuits work in the event you have to be part of one
• The legal elements of common crimes you could be exposed to while on post, including trespass, theft, and vandalism
• The in’s and out’s of BSIS regulations so you can keep your guard card in good standing
• How to respect the state and federal civil rights of the people you interact with, even when the stakes are high

...and more.

The goal of this course is to give you a solid foundation in the law, which is what separates the okay guards from the exceptional ones.
