If it is an account where I have LOTS of friends who can help me... then I'd call for LOTS of friends and then WE confront them... otherwise, I'd get the PD out there and advise them it is a LARGE group... and then assist the police in any way I can.

You have written wisely. We forget the "Ten Deadly Sins" or vicariously known as the "Ten Commandments of Security and Law Enforcement" at our peril. There is always time in the situation thus described to wait for backup. They are defacing property far better than defacing you.
Enjoy the day,

In most circumstances you would be better off to contact PD and address the individuals as a group. Most likely your client will want to have the book thrown at them and in very few circumstances can a private security officer issue a citation to anyone. In addition the number factor must be addressed as well. For the most part officer presence will deter this type of problem especially if word gets out that the PD and your dept work well together.Improvise, Adapt, Modify, and Overcome

Are you a security officer? The reason I ask is because your training should have covered this and other situations that you will encounter. Moreover, the "right" answer depends on who employs you, the post orders, and the type of security you do.Security: Freedom from fear; danger; safe; a feeling of well-being. (Webster's)

Here we have Guards who are hired, given unifroms and badges and sent to a post within an hour of filling out and application and passing the background check. You can work for up to six months with a temporary card before being required to take 16 hours of mandatory training. Wich brings up the question, If you can work 6 months without the training, why do you need the training at all?Some Kind of Commando Leader
