What Security Guards Can And Can’t Do?

As of the year 2019, the capital city, Delhi, has recorded the highest crime rate (crime incidence(s) per 1 lac population) in the whole India as compared to other states at 1586.1, that is rising steeply from the earlier number, 1342.5. So, with the ever rising crime rate, security personnel are the need of the hour! Ask yourself this question that when you come across a security guard edged by the gates of your premises, do you feel scared? If not, then you need to be aware of the power(s) of ‘security personnel’.

• Surprisingly, a bouncer or a security guard can only make civilian arrests, if there is a shoplifting or damage of some property. They will never wait for the culprit to leave the space. The suspect is detained immediately, simply based on doubt.
• As a crime perpetrator, and being under civilian arrest, one can never leave the premises without the permission of the security guard, but that doesn’t imply that the ‘caught’, got to divulge all personal details or incident related information to the guard. This might go against the person in court.
• Security guards can well search your property or your belongings at any place. If you stop them from doing so, it might raise greater suspicion and the wind obviously will wave against you.
• Though, almost resembling ‘the police’ in uniform, ensembles and arms, yet a security person can never detain a suspect for a long period of time. He has to hand the individual over to the police for further investigation.
• Talking of investigation or interrogation, here also the man in discussion has limited powers. A security person cannot use a lot of force unnecessarily on the incumbent or on anyone present in the place of incidence. But, of course, he is allowed to be in action, if required.
• They are basically meant to prima facie scare away the wits of the suspect and many do succumb under this little apprehension too.
• Security guards are entitled to take video and audio recording(s) of the crime, so as to produce the same in front of higher legal bodies.
