A » Security guards have limited legal powers primarily for maintaining order and protecting property. They can detain individuals suspected of committing crimes under the principle of "private person's arrest" and may carry out enforcement actions within legal boundaries. However, their authority does not include law enforcement powers such as making arrests for serious crimes or carrying firearms unless authorized by law. Their actions are governed by local laws and company policies.
