A » Security guards have limited legal powers primarily focused on maintaining order, observing and reporting incidents, and detaining individuals for reasonable suspicion until law enforcement arrives. They do not have the authority to arrest unless authorized by law or employed as authorized officers. Their powers vary by jurisdiction, but generally include the right to enforce facility rules and ensure safety within designated premises, always acting within legal boundaries.
