Now i'm not talking about laws that govern the regulating of security. i mean laws that protect or help better define your job. For instance in Florida Security is issued light colors Green and Amber. Under Florida law 784.07 Assault or battery of law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical care providers, public transit employees or agents, or other specified officers; Now includes Uniformed security guards.
So please share any laws for your state that are similar.
P.S. some time this year a bill will be back up for vote that will give Uniformed security guards the legal Authority to detain and hold for LEO. This would go beyond the limited scope that is currently in effect. IE legal ability to stop and detain trespassers till LEO shows up and wrote out a trespass notice. Currently only retail LPO's can do that. The only way regulars SO's can detain a trespasser is if they become violent or posses a Dangerous weapon.
