I remember when I was a security officer in Florida, most of the contracts that my employer was using specifically stated that the company was contracted to protect "property of the client," "enforce client rules and regulations," "respond to law violations, and detain the violator for law enforcement if practical, while reporting the violation," and "protecting the persons on the property."
The company hired professional security officers, who recieved OJT in how their duties applied to them, beyond the state's 24 hour course. (Way beyond, the State of Florida states that private security protects property only, the protection of persons is the job of the police.)
I'm wondering if others take contracts like this, and if so, what experience they have with mitigating the legal duty protecting people from harm, with the limited rights of a private citizen.
