Originally posted by Mr. Security View PostDo these "company police" have to graduate from a LE academy?
To be commissioned as a company police officer, an individual must meet the minimum standards [link to page] required for employment and certification as a law enforcement officer in North Carolina, including completion of the Basic Law Enforcement Training course required of any other officer. The officer will then receive law enforcement certification from the North Carolina Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission. The Company Police Program also requires that officers be examined on the law and administrative rules governing company police."Get yourself a shovel cause your in deep Sh*t"

Mr. Security should stay out of their neighbor to the south, then. While the patch says "Security," they have all the powers of a deputy sheriff.Some Kind of Commando Leader

This new law just basically changes some wording to take away some of the 'gray' areas and was acutally brought about by the Company Police Department Heads lobbying our representatives, they were tired of having to go through the same training but not allowed alot of the same courtesies as everyone else, such as paying for state mandated training.

Beat me to it. The armed license is just a license to carry a gun or shotgun. The actual security license is what gives you the powers of a deputy sheriff.
Virginia, I believe, vests limited arrest powers in its armed license. But not as a law enforcement officer.
Its interesting, since the statute reads "all the powers of a deputy sheriff." This would basically make you... a deputy sheriff. I am unsure if the state law considers you a law enforcement officer for purposes of battery, etc, but many SC statutes read "and those vested in arrest powers..." meaning private security.Some Kind of Commando Leader

Virginia armed does have arrest authority on site. They are not considered LEO's. We have something similar to the Company Police in NC, they are called Special Conservators of the Peace, or Special Police. They are considered part of Private Security, but can work for municipalities as an augmentaion for Law Enforcement. They are considered LEO's.Keeping the parking lots safe, hallways moving and the Chik Fil A busy.
