They pay you to "Watch out" for criminal activity . They pay you to "Try" to thwart shoplifters . They don't pay you to put Ur life on the line for something that probably cost a third of Ur salary ! See the problem with this story is, The common-sense fact wasn't applied to the situation . Security guards are used to protect Life, & Property . The definition of the following goes as followed->>>>>>>>>> " You are responsible as a security officer for the well being of those for whom come in direct contact with property you are securing . As Security for that property it is Ur job to secure it to the best of Ur ability without incurring harm to yourself . It is the job of the security officer to secure the premises of which needs protection from an and all intruders . If a situation arises where as the security of stated property has been breached . The security officer in charge should immediately notify the proper authorities fill out an incident report in full detail and await the arrival of emergency responders . A security guard may not forcibly Hinder, Quarantine, Capture, Willingly assault, OR cause any bodily harm to any citizen unless provoked into confrontation". I know it sound like shit and it is, but that's the law . What this guy did was wrong and if he works for a security firm and not the store and someone got hurt in that chase then the injured party could sue both the store and the firm for damages . I know all of this because after I graduated from college I worked security as a second job for a few months and that's what they teach you in the [8] hour, & [16] hour classes . I hope this guy was licensed to work security because that just opens up another can of potential issues .</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/15/security_guard.php#comment-1092781 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/15/security_guard.php#comment-1092781 Comments Tue, 15 May 2007 11:23:55 -0500 <p>I hope Mr. Khouroupra recovers.
