Abuse of Power (or Position)

Abuse of Power (or Position)

Imagined power can be a very dangerous weapon. By the very nature of the work and the uniform, the Security Guard appears to have power and authority. What power and authority a Security Guard has must be used sparingly, carefully and judiciously. Unfortunately, some Security Guards forget that even the limited powers they have apply only under certain circumstances. At all other times they are governed by the same rules and regulations as other employees and members of the public.
